Wordpress IF Statement

Question

I'm trying to remove certain part of the post if:

property-type&tag_ID=13

The content I'm trying to hide is:

<div class="single-property-meta clearfix status-<?php echo $status_id; ?>-text">
<?php
$meta_size = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_size', true );
**$meta_bedrooms = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_bedrooms', true );
$meta_bathrooms = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_bathrooms', true );
$meta_garages = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_garages', true );
$meta_address = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_address', true );**
?>
<span class="meta-size"><i class="ico-size"></i><?php echo $meta_size; ?></span>
**<span class="meta-bedroom"><i class="ico-bedroom"></i><?php echo $meta_bedrooms.'<span class="meta-hidden">'.__( ' Bedrooms' ).'</span>'; ?></span>
<span class="meta-bathroom"><i class="ico-bathroom"></i><?php echo $meta_bathrooms.'<span class="meta-hidden">'.__( ' Bathrooms').'</span>'; ?></span>
<span class="meta-garage"><i class="ico-garage"></i><?php echo $meta_garages.'<span class="meta-hidden">'.__( ' Garages').'</span>'; ?></span>**
<span class="meta-print visible-desktop"><i class="ico-print"></i><span class="print-hidden"><a href="javascript:window.print()"><?php echo __( 'Print this page'); ?></a></span></span>
<span class="meta-status"><?php echo $property_status; ?></span>
</div>

Any help would be welcome, I know I have to use some sort of a IF statement to show the content only IF the ID is = 13. All I have right now is this:

if ($property-type&tag_ID=13) {

}

Very valid question. This is part of the reason I hate mixing HTML with PHP. It makes it all seem so complicated when it really is very simple. So change these lines:

$meta_bedrooms = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_bedrooms', true );

<span class="meta-bedroom"><i class="ico-bedroom"></i><?php echo $meta_bedrooms.'<span class="meta-hidden">'.__( ' Bedrooms' ).'</span>'; ?></span>

To be these using pure PHP:

if ($property-type && $tag_ID != 13) {
  $meta_bedrooms = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_bedrooms', true );
}

<?php
if ($property-type && $tag_ID != 13) {
  echo '<span class="meta-bedroom">'
     . '<i class="ico-bedroom"></i>'
     . $meta_bedrooms
     . '<span class="meta-hidden">'
     . __( ' Bedrooms' )
     . '</span>'
     . '</span>'
    ;
}
?>

First note that your initial example if of ($property-type&tag_ID=13) is wrong since tag_ID=13 (note one =) is an assignment of a value. Also you have tag_ID set when it should be a variable like $tag_ID. So the final check as I have it is now $tag_ID != 13 since you want to hide items if $tag_ID is 13, which means you only want to show that content if $tag_ID is 13 so if $tag_ID != 13 is set anything else will show the content, but if it is equal to 13 it is hidden.

That said, what is $property-type and what is the check there? The way I have it set it will be TRUE if there is any value set to $property-type, but perhaps that’s not needed and the conditional should simply be if ($tag_ID != 13) {.

That said, cleaning things up reveal other potential issues. Such as, what exactly is the purpose of this <i class="ico-bedroom"></i>? An <i> tag that closes itself right away? Your other <span> tags have similar <i> tags. Intentional?

Wrap the part you wanna hide with:

<?if ($property-type && $tage_ID=13) {?>
    your hidden part
<?}?>

Actually Im not sure what $property-type&tag_ID=13 is.
