General Rules
- The following symbols are reserved for internal brick control and should not be used within the value of a “name=” parameter except as required by this document for specific purposes: .^!:()[]
- Also, since a field can appear in a form multiple times, the ‘Name” attribute is used to reference the particular field and is the value tied to the field when stored in a usercustom_field.
- Also, because of the use for internal brick control, do not use names within CSS styling. Rely on class and id.
- Bricks that require a form must be within a brick included form. They will not work within a form defined directly.
- Also, HTML rules prohibit forms within forms. Thus brick forms cannot be nested, nor can a brick form be in a regular form or a regular form in a brick form.
- If you discover that your html editor of choice is rearranging or discarding your bricks, surround them with “<!–bricks–” and “–bricks–>”. They will be treated as comments and not rearranged in your editor, but WP Bricks will strip them so that the bricks will not be hidden as comments on your web page!

if_brick help
Show everything after this brick only if the condition of the 'if' is met.
If bricks can be nested and all bricks, including include bricks are processed or not processed between a matching if brick and endif brick based on the truth of the condition.| Attribute | Values | Default |
|---|
| logic | Does this if brick 'or' with the previous 'if' brick or do an 'and'.
| and | The test must be true for all following content to be displayed and used. | | or | The test of the previous if brick OR this if brick must be true. Can only be used if the immediate preceeding brick is an if brick. If the preceeding if brick was 'and' AND it changed the display of content from true to false, then if the result is true for this or any immediately following if 'or' bricks, then the display is enabled.
An if 'or' brick does not use an 'endif' brick to terminate the logic.
Example:
[if_brick ...][if_brick ...][if_brick logic='or' ...][if_brick logic='or' ...] content [endif_brick][endif_brick]
If the first if brick is false, the content does not show. the tests in the next three if bricks are not made.
Otherwise, if all three of the following if bricks fail, the content does not show. if any of the three is true, then the content does show. |
