Hi all,

Trying to style an output that uses the Metabox shortcode:

[rwmb_meta meta_key="text_6" type="text"]

I tried the class value in advanced but my understanding is that this only applies a class to the backend metabox not the output on the frontend.

Is there any way to style a shortcode output on the frontend in settings or elsewhere?

Hi there,
You can use something like this:
```
<div class="anyclass">
    [rwmb_meta meta_key="text_6" type="text"]
</div>
```

Hi Truong,

Is it possible to make it so the class CSS styling doesn't apply when the shortcode value is empty.

For example I have multiple shortcodes for metaboxes sitting in a widget, without assigning a class to apply padding above each shortcode the outputs run into each other. However if I apply a class and style it with padding above the problem then is if I dont have a value/output for one of the metaboxes it still applies the css padding which leaves a gap between the shortcodes.

I've taken a screenshot of the backend and the frontend metaboxes I'm using

You can see I haven't populated the Videos metaboxs and thats causing a huge gap to appear between the forms and the links due to the padding I've added to the shortcode.

Hello Janek,

I think you can use Truong solution in addition with the :empty css selector
```
.anyclass {
    padding: 10px;
}
.anyclass:empty {
   padding: 0;
}
```
That should work.

Or you can create your own shortcode which verify the content of rwmb_meta before display it.

Hope it helps
