# Customizer Section

 * Does anyone know the correct syntax for checking if the options/controls in a
   specific Section of customizer.php are not empty? Trying to check if one of the
   options/theme_mods if filled out, I can’t find what I’m looking for anywhere..
 * I’m trying to do something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php if (!empty($wp_customize->get_section('special_section'))) : ?>
   
         <div>Div goes here...</div>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```

 * no not really. I read through all that, but my skills are intermediate at best
   and I’m not sure what I’m looking for. I’ve spent 7+ hours on this and have only
   been able to rule out what doesn’t work….
 * thanks though…

 * Look towards the bottom. There are several examples of how to write it.

 * all i see is how to create sections and settings/controls…
 * I’m trying to display a div on the frontend, and what i’m currently doing that
   works is something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
         if (
   
           ( !empty(get_theme_mod('mod1')) ) 
   
           ||
   
           ( !empty(get_theme_mod('mod2')) ) 
   
           ||
   
           ( !empty(get_theme_mod('mod3')) )   
   
         ) : 
   
       ?>
   
       <div id="mods" class="container-fluid"></div>
   
       <?php endif; ?> 
       ```
   
 * but I know doing it that way is a little hacky… just trying to check if any of
   the settings inside the parent section are being used.. instead of checking each
   theme_mod (there are over 20)
