Overview
This snippet hides the Loop Widget by checking for .e-loop-item and hiding the widget when no items are present. This prevents empty loop sections from occupying space on the page.
Setup
Add External Scripts
Copy & paste the scripts before the </body> tag of your project. If you added them before for another setup, skip this step.
Add HTML
Place the code in an HTML widget or add it through Elementor → Custom Code (before the closing </body> tag) either globally or only on selected pages.
Add Custom CSS
Paste the code through the page or site settings, or add it via Elementor → Custom Code (before </body>) for broader use.
body:not(.elementor-editor-active)
[ou-hide-if-empty-loop]:not(:has(.e-loop-item)) {
display: none !important;
}Add Custom Javascript
Paste the script through Elementor → Custom Code (set to load after </body>) for site-wide or page-specific loading.
Add Custom PHP
Place the PHP snippet in your theme’s functions.php file or add it using a code snippets plugin to enable the logic.
Add Attribute
Add the attribute ou-hide-if-empty-loop to the parent wrapper that contains the Loop Grid. When the loop renders zero items, the entire wrapper section will be hidden on the live site.
