 * I am kind of a noob, and trying to figure out how to make fields only show up
   if completed. Meaning, I’ve got a label and then the <?php the_field(”); ?> set
   up, but I want to write a conditional statement that encompasses the entire area
   so I don’t even show the label if the field is empty.
 * Any assistance is greatly appreciated

 * Function the_field() is not a part of standard WordPress, so I am not sure what
   is providing it. If it comes from the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, your code
   would look similar to this:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( get_field('field_name') ) {
          // code here for label
          the_field('field_name');
       ?>
       ```

 * kinda broke the page. Here is the code I currently use to output the email field
 * (i use “Types” plugin btw)
 * `<a href="mailto:<?php $email = types_render_field("email", array("raw"=>"true","
   separator"=>";")); echo $email; ?>" class="contact_link">Email</a>`

 * Sorry, I don’t use that plugin. You might have better luck posting in the Types
