I need to tell an ACF checkbox array not to error when empty WordPress

  • SOLVED

Using Advanced Custom Fields Pro and have a checkbox array that displays fine as long as at least one checkbox is checked. If none of them are checked, it errors out on the page.

I want it to just not show if things are not checked, as opposed to showing the error message.

Here's the working code:


<?php

$values = get_field('oil_application');

if(in_array("dietary", $values )){
?>
<div class="oil-permission"><img src="<?php home_url(); ?>/media/oil-icon-ingested.png" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> can be ingested" class="tooltips" title="<?php the_title(); ?> can be ingested"></div>
<?php
}

if(in_array("topical", $values )){
?>
<div class="oil-permission"><img src="<?php home_url(); ?>/media/oil-icon-topical.png" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> can be used topically" class="tooltips" title="<?php the_title(); ?> can be used topically"></div>
<?php
}

if(in_array("aromatic", $values )){
?>
<div class="oil-permission"><img src="<?php home_url(); ?>/media/oil-icon-aromatic.png" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> can be inhaled" class="tooltips" title="<?php the_title(); ?> can be inhaled"></div>
<?php
}

?>


The error I'm receiving on the browser page is:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in /home/billyjoe/public_html/wp-content/themes/os/single-oils-blends.php on line 96
