Remove Widget Titles

The Remove Widget Titles plugin removes the title from any widget that has a title starting with the “!” character. Why Use It? This allows you to give widgets a title in the backend for convenience – so you can quickly see which widget is which, rather than having to open them to work out what they are for – without having to show the title on the front end. How To Use (once plugin is installed) If you have a widget for which you do not want the title to appear on the front end of your site, simply add the “!” character to the start of the widget title (in Appearance -> Widgets). Compatibility This plugin requires WordPress 2.6 or above. I am not currently aware of any compatibility issues with any other WordPress plugins. Similar Plugins There is another plugin called Hide Widget Title, but that leaves the widget title in the page source and hides it using CSS (adding another http request which slows load time slightly). Remove Widget Titles actually removes the widget title from the HTML. The plugin is only 7 lines of code, so it is extremely light and has minimal impact on performance. Support This plugin is officially not supported (due to my time constraints), but if you leave a comment on the plugin’s home page or contact me, I’ll try to help if I can.

Acknowledgements This plugin was originally written for QPS Media, who have allowed me to release it to the WordPress community and maintain ownership of the plugin.

Visibility Control for WooCommerce

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.
