AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Block Control is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Block Control works
Have you ever used WordPress’ new block editor Gutenberg and wished for a way to influence, when and to whom blocks are shown? We’ve been in this situation, that’s why we came up with Block Control. This nifty little plugin allows you to control, whether a block should be displayed under certain circumstances or not. And that’s of course true for both WordPress’ default blocks and blocks added by third-party plugins.
You can hide blocks based on:
Device types (desktop, mobile, screen reader)
Viewports/CSS breakpoints
Login status
Date (start and end date)
User roles
Page types
Posts of the current post type
Feeds
Page number in numbered pages (in archives and search results)
Additionally, you can set an inline formatting to display certain text only for screen readers.
Contribution Feel free to contribute. The code is available at GitHub.
