Some features of the LLIR website depend upon conditional elements. Creating and maintaining conditional elements requires no knowledge of coding or HTML, but working with them is one of the more advanced topics a LLIR Webmaster is likely to encounter. Kadence supports four types of conditional elements and sometimes refers to them as hooked elements because they provide a way to add programming-style logic to a website. So far, the LLIR website uses only one type: Content Sections . The conditional elements defined at the time of this writing are described below.

To learn how too add more conditional elements, start by following a tutorial from the Kadence knowledge base.
For instructions on modifying or deleting these elements, see Working with Conditional Elements.
