 Really appreciate your help!!!

 Replying to [comment:1 westonruter]:
 > @karlikdesign: Thanks for the report. Actually this is not a bug because
 in PHP the value of `0` is “false-y”. You can see the values in PHP that
 are considered `false` in a boolean context via the
 [http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php#language.types.boolean.casting
 PHP Manual].
 >
 > So all you have to do is change your conditional to check for the
 `false` value explicitly with a not-identical comparison:
 >
 > {{{#!php
 > <?php if ( false !== get_theme_mod( 'apw_header_cta_padding_bottom' ) )
 : ?>
 > }}}
 >
 > You probably want to report such future issues to the
 [https://wordpress.org/support/ WordPress Support forums] first before
 opening a Core Trac ticket. Thanks!
