Hide Notification Count When Count is 0

I’m building a notification dropdown outside of the logged-in users profile on a sidebar.

I’m using this line of code to get the count

<?php echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); ?>

The notification count does appear, and for the correct user, but does not go away once the count is 0.

How can I get the count to display:none when the count is 0?

This is my first ever support post on any platform, so please take it easy on me if I didn’t include all the proper information. Thanks!

Hello,

you can do something like. It will print nothing when got 0.
```
$count = bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
$count = empty( $count ) ? '' : $count;
```
and use this variable in your code.

Thank you so much for your reply!

If I’m understanding you correctly, I put the code in like this…
```
<?php
	$count = bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
	$count = empty( $count ) ? '' : $count;
?>
```
But that doesn’t seem to be working. Am I doing something wrong?

For anyone else trying to figure this out, I didn’t find THE solution, but I did find A solution… it’s simple javascript. Wrap your notification in a div with the class “count” or whatever works for you, and hide it when its content is ‘0’.
```
<div class="count">
	<?php echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); ?>
</div>
```
```
<script type="text/javascript">
	//HIDE NOTIFICATION IF COUNT IS ZERO
	let divs = document.getElementsByClassName('count');

	for (let x = 0; x < divs.length; x++) {
	    let div = divs[x];
	    let content = div.innerHTML.trim();

	    if (content == '0') {
	        div.style.display = 'none';
	    }
	}
</script>
```
