Conditionally display sections?

[tanmalik786]

Hi there,
I am just about finalizing my first store [for a client] to go live, have come across a challenge, that's "need to setup a 'Best Sellers' section in my store's home page BUT display this label only when there's some Top Seller Products available to display in this section?"

Is this even possible?

Note: I am using 'Creative Elements' as the page builder, if it helps?

TIA

Yes, it is possible.
If you also tell us the version of Prestashop, you will also get help 😁

Thank you so much @D.Tengler

I will certainly give it a try and leave a comment note here!

Hi @D Tengler, I did give it a try indeed BUT since I used "Creative Elements" so it became irrelevant - BUT surely I did learn something new.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Unfortunately, Creative Elements and various Page Builder modules use custom solutions and custom modules.
As soon as I get such an e-shop, I leave 🙂 because they are confusing.
I'd love to help, but I don't have Creative Elements.

Thanks a lot man for your help, I have experience using 'Elementor' for WordPress so thought it will be helpful .. this tool as of now is far from complete [feature wise] I believe.
