Responsive Visibility adds block visibility controls to every Gutenberg block. You choose which screen sizes a block shows on, and the plugin hides it on the rest with CSS media queries. There is no custom CSS to write and nothing to configure in your theme. To hide a block on mobile but keep it on desktop, open the block settings in the editor sidebar and switch the device off. Most visibility plugins give you three fixed sizes. Responsive Visibility lets you define your own custom breakpoints instead, so you can add a widescreen rule for large monitors, a small-phone rule, or whatever your layout needs, and name each one. You manage them on a single settings page, the way Elementor handles breakpoints. A few things people use it for: hiding a large hero image on phones to cut load time, showing a different call to action on desktop, or keeping a sidebar widget off small screens. Any block becomes a conditional block without a shortcode or a line of code. For a walkthrough, watch this tutorial: How It Works (3 Steps) Edit any block in the Gutenberg editor and open the Responsive Visibility panel in the sidebar. Pick the devices to hide it on — mobile, tablet, desktop, or any custom breakpoint you defined. Save. The block is hidden on exactly those screens — no custom CSS, no theme edits, no shortcodes. Why Responsive Visibility? Unlimited custom breakpoints — not just mobile/tablet/desktop. Define any number of named device ranges and the plugin generates the matching CSS media queries automatically. Cache-friendly — visibility uses CSS classes and media queries, so every visitor gets the same HTML. It works with any caching plugin and updates live as the screen resizes. Works with any theme — block themes or classic themes, with no template edits and no dependencies. Backward compatible — blocks hidden with earlier versions keep working after an update, and your saved breakpoints are not lost. Built for Gutenberg — controls live in the native block Inspector, right where you already edit. Key Features Hide or show blocks by device (desktop, tablet, mobile, and any custom breakpoint) Visibility Conditions — show or hide blocks by login status, user role, specific user or post, post type, page type, or shortcode, with All/Any logic Unlimited custom breakpoints — add, rename, reorder, and set pixel widths from Settings → Responsive Visibility Dynamic CSS generation — pixel values come from your saved breakpoints, never hardcoded Cache-safe responsive design — CSS-based hiding that survives full-page caching Per-block control — settings are applied per block, not per page Seamless Gutenberg integration with native WordPress blocks and most third-party blocks Improve page experience by hiding unnecessary or heavy elements on smaller screens Visibility Conditions — Show or Hide Blocks by More Than Device Version 1.2.0 adds visibility conditions, so you can hide or show a block based on the visitor or the page, not only the screen size. Add one or more conditions to a block, decide whether all of them or any of them have to match, and set whether a match shows the block or hides it. Conditions run on the server, so a hidden block is left out of the page instead of being hidden with CSS. That keeps member-only conditional content out of the page source where it could otherwise be read. Login status — show member-only blocks to logged-in users, or a sign-up call-to-action only to logged-out visitors. User role — show or hide blocks by user role: administrator, editor, author, subscriber, customer, or any custom role. Specific user — personalize a block for one exact user by ID. Specific post or page — show a block only on a chosen post or page. Post type — target posts, pages, WooCommerce products, or any custom post type (single view or archive). Page type — show on the front page, blog, single posts, archives, search results, or the 404 page. Shortcode — gate a block on any custom PHP logic using a shortcode — a flexible, developer-friendly escape hatch. You can use conditions and device rules together on the same block. Login and role conditions work with caching plugins as long as logged-in visitors get an uncached page, which is the default in most caching setups. Ideal For Content creators who want to hide large or secondary blocks on phones and tablets. Designers building responsive Gutenberg layouts without writing one-off CSS. Site owners tailoring what each device sees to boost engagement and speed. Membership & WooCommerce sites showing content by login status and user role — members, customers, and subscribers see exactly what’s meant for them. Agencies and developers who need simple, reliable block visibility and conditional content on client sites.
