只有在WordPress中填写的基本if语句才能获取作者meta

I have a WordPress site in which I have added a few extra fields for Author contact fields. Some people are going to use Google plus but some will not. I don't want to have an empty paragraph tag etc. I can't seem to figure out how to write an if statement that works. This is what I was working with. Thanks for your time.

<?php if(get_the_author_meta('google')) ?> { ?>

    <p><?php the_author_meta('google'); ?></p>

<?php }

    else {
            // do nothing

} endif; ?>

<?php if(get_the_author_meta('google')):  ?>

<p><?php the_author_meta('google'); ?></p>

<?php 

else: 
        // do nothing

 endif; ?>

Did you try this? Also, your code has the opening brace for 'if' without a php tag.

try this - and put a class of some sort on there to ensure it's not showing up in the spots where it's not filled in - a border or something?

<?php if (get_the_author_meta('google')) { ?>

    <p class="error"><?php the_author_meta('google') ?></p>

<?php }

else {

    // do nothing

} ?>

This seems to work. Maybe it's the endif ?
