Visibility Control for WooCommerce helps you hide or show messages, menu and content for specific criterion anywhere on your WordPress page. You can show/hide HTML elements, menus, and other details based on: 1. User’s purchase of a particular WooCommerce Product or Variation, Or 2. User is Logged In or Logged Out. You simply need to add a CSS class to your element div or span. As explained here: Example: If Product or Variation ID is 123 To show the element/menu item to user who purchased above product, add this CSS class: visible_to_product_123 To hide the element/menu item from user who purchased above product, add this CSS class: hidden_to_product_123 To show the element/menu item to a logged-in user, add this CSS class: visible_to_logged_in OR hidden_to_logged_out To hide the element/menu item from a logged-in user, add this CSS class: visible_to_logged_out OR hidden_to_logged_in For user’s role: * To show the element/menu item to a user will role administrator, add this CSS class: visible_to_role_administrator OR hidden_to_role_administrator * Note: To show an element to multiple specific roles only, you need add the element multiple times, one for each role. To hide an element/menu from specific multiple roles only you can add the element once add multiple classes to the same element. Mechanism of Functioning Multiple CSS Classes: If multiple visibility control classes are added, ALL of them must meet the criterion to keep the element visible. If any one of them hides the element, it will be hidden. For example: visible_to_product_123 visible_to_product_124 will show the element only to those who have purchased to both products. Hidden data/elements reaches the browser. Though user’s do not see it. CSS is added to the page for all CSS elements that needs to be hidden based on above rules. After page is loaded. These elements are removed from page using jQuery (if available), so it won’t be available even on Inspect. Elements rendered after the page load are hidden but not removed from DOM/page. Future Development Depending on the interest in this feature, we will decide on adding a setting, shortcode and/or a Gutenberg Block option to achieve this feature.
