Block Logic – Full Block Display Control

Block Logic adds a “Block Logic” field to the “Advanced” section of the block editor (i.e Gutenberg), that lets you show or hide any block based on conditions. You can use WordPress’ Conditional Tags or any general PHP code. Show or hide blocks based on User role User login status Post status Date and time The result of a custom PHP function Features Show or hide any block using conditions Combine conditions with “and” or “or” operators. See FAQ Writing Logic Code Full flexibility: use any condition you want (you can extend base functionality with filters) Limitations Does not work with the Classic Block, Widget Block or Widget Area Block [‘core/freeform’, ‘core/legacy-widget’, ‘core/widget-area’], as the those blocks do not support block attributes. Does also not work with the HTML Block [‘core/html’] inside the Widget Screen, as this one also does not support block attributes there. Configuration Just activate the plugin. The “Block Logic” textbox will then appear in the “Advanced” section of the Gutenberg editor. Breaking changes since 2.0.0 Since version 2.0.0 the code does not get eval’d directly, but there is a whitelist of allowed functions that can be extended via a filter. Upgrade Notice When upgrading to version 2.x you will need to update your logic. No return is allowed anymore and no semicolons in code as only expressions are evaluated. See FAQ Section Writing Logic Code.

Report bugs and suggestions on WordPress.org forums. Help translate to your language. Documentation Widget visibility can be configured under individual widget settings under “Appearance → Widgets” in your WordPress administration area or through the widget editing interface in the Customizer. Target by URL The “Target by URL” is a powerful feature for targeting sections of your website based on the request URLs. It was inspired by a similar feature in the Drupal CMS. Use relative URLs such as page/sub-page instead of absolute URLs https://example.com/page/sub-page because relative URLs are more flexible and make the logic portable between different domains and server environments. Wildcards Use the wildcard symbol * for matching dynamic parts of the URL. For example: topic/widgets/* to match all posts in the widgets category, if your permalink structure is set to /topic/%category%/%postname%. page-slug/* to match all child pages of the page-slug parent page. Use a trailing ?* to capture URL with all query arguments such as utm_source, etc. For example, for every blog/post-slug also include blog/post-slug?*. Exclude by URL Specify URLs to ignore even if they’re matched by any of the other context rules. For example, enter example/sub-page to hide a widget on this page even when “All Posts” is selected under “Global Sections”.
