 * Hi,
    Before you flame me, I have been searching for this in the forums for the
   last half hour and have come up empty handed!
 * The question: I’ve added some custom fields to the wordpress User Profile. I 
   can’t figure out how to hide them from the profile page if they’re empty (if 
   the user didn’t fill them out).
 * This is the code I’m currently using to display the field:
    `<?php echo $user-
   >favmus; ?>`
 * I can’t get the “IF” part of the code quite right. Can anyone help me out? Thank
   you!

 * Try
    `if(isset($user->favmus)) echo $user->favmus;`

 * Thank you for responding. However — the field is still showing up blank with 
   that code.
