The way you design your product page has an immediate impact on your visitors’ behavior. A well-designed and customized product page design can make it easier for visitors to decide if they want to purchase your product. If you’re looking for a way to make your product page more appealing, you’ll love this post. We’ll show you how to include a dynamic product benefit grid in your design using Divi and the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. We’ll start by creating a field group for the benefits. We will, then, fill out the custom fields on our product page and include the dynamic content in our product page template. You’ll be able to download the product page template for free as well!

Let’s get to it.

We’ll add this CSS property to the Blurb Module’s main element in the advanced tab.

display: inline-block;

  1. How do I hide an empty ACF field to appear at frontend?
    Like I have 5 ACF field at Admin backend and I filled 4 of them with text, so only those 4 will show at front end and the empty one will be hidden.
    Note I am using a blurb icon in the module and the whole block (includes blurb icon) needs to be hidden if that specific ACF field is empty.

  2. Thank you for this tutorial, it is really great and will be very useful.
    thanks for the file.
