Advanced Usage

Managing WordPress content via blocks becomes easier when you know the tips & tricks. You can find more on our blog.

Draft content on live pages

Use the Lockdown condition to create draft blocks inside live content, and simply remove the condition when you’re ready to publish. You don’t have to worry about people seeing the content before it’s complete. Using the Lockdown Condition eliminates need to create a separate draft page.

Apply Conditions to Groups

One of our favorite methods of managing WordPress content is to use Group Blocks. If you setup a Group Blocks you can set conditions directly the Group, this means that all nested blocks inside the Group will automatically follow the same visibility conditions.

Design Patterns

Yes it’s also possible to pre-make dynamic templates using Conditional Blocks. You’ll have to make use of the WordPress Design Patterns. Simply make a patterns as you’ve also done while applying the visibility rules.

The patterns will be ready and be conditionally displayed when you insert it on a page. We personally use the same method on Synced Patterns too. (Previously known as Reusable Blocks in Gutenberg).

Restrictive content made easy

Control access to any block by clicking on it within the Block Editor and using the Condition Builder to add visibility rules. Perfect for members-only content.

Responsive designs simplified

Effortlessly adapt your blocks for mobile, tablet, or desktop display, automatically showing or hiding content according to screen sizes.

Reviews

Fantastic Plugin!

Sara September 27, 2023

Found this plugin when I needed a solution to a complex client need for displaying certain content on certain days and at certain times. It’s amazing in its simple and straightforward approach and love how the developer has incorporated it into the block editor. Works at any level of block editing, from row to section to individual block. Morgan is also super responsive when answering questions and even incorporated a feature request into a recent update – just wow! The price to upgrade to the Pro version for me/my client’s need is totally worth it – especially love the Preset capability. Kudos to the developer!

Nice aproach, but quite limited in the free version

Martin Sauter September 21, 2022

The ?condition builder? looks great, especially for more complex tasks. But if you are not willing to pay for the pro version, most of the conditions are not available. And in thise case there are other plugins which can do similar things whith a less complex interface.

ótimo

I tried 2 other plugins first (Block Visibility and Responsive Block Control) neither of which work at all for block visibility based on screen size for blocks containing short code. Conditional Blocks just works. Thank you for this great plugin.

Amazing Plugin!

The huge potential with this plugin, plus the new block editor is immense. I look forward to bringing this to future clients.
