TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Block Control is for WordPress site owners and developers using the Gutenberg block editor who want to tailor content visibility for different visitors. It solves the problem of not being able to control when and to whom individual blocks are shown, letting users hide blocks based on conditions like device, login status, or user role.

Hide blocks by device type
Hide blocks by viewport/breakpoint
Hide blocks by login status
Hide blocks by date range
Hide blocks by user role
Hide blocks by page type
Hide blocks by post type
Screen-reader-only text formatting

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Block Control

After you install and activate Block Control, you will find a new panel “Visibility” added to every blocks right hand side sidebar. Open the panel to choose a condition for the display of a given block. Conditional blocks configured this way will only be displayed under certain circumstances chosen by you. Please note, these conditions will only take effect in the front end of your site, not inside the editor itself.

Mostly not. Since Block Control removes content completely from the source code and not just hides it via CSS, it may generate different HTML for every user, which is incompatible to any caching plugin. The only exception is hiding a block by viewport. As this happens via CSS in the browser, the HTML stays the same for every user and thus works together with page caching. Keep in mind that the content is still accessible in the source code.

Since version 1.1.0 you can hide blocks based on post type. Since you maybe have post types that don't make sense in this context, you can use the filter block_control_ignored_post_types to remove them. E.g. if your post type slug is called my_post_type, you can use it like this: function my_filter_block_control_post_types( $post_types ) { unset( $post_types['my_post_type']; return $post_types; } add_filter( 'block_control_ignored_post_types', 'my_filter_block_control_post_types' );

Yes. During development, I test each feature against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). You can find the Accessibility Conformance Report in the documentation. If you find an issue, please don't hesitate to contact me via the support forums or via my contact page.
