Visibility Controls for Editor Blocks adds native visibility settings to the WordPress block editor, so you can hide or show Gutenberg blocks based on screen size and user login status without writing custom CSS. Use it to hide blocks on mobile, tablet, or desktop, show different content to logged-in users and guests, and fine-tune responsive layouts with your own breakpoints. The controls appear directly in the block editor sidebar, so you can manage visibility while editing your content. On WordPress 7.0 and newer, the device controls stay in sync with the editor’s built-in Hide block modal, so changing Hide on Mobile, Tablet, or Desktop in either place updates the same block visibility setting. The plugin works with regular Gutenberg blocks and modern dynamic blocks, including block theme and site editor contexts. Need more advanced conditional visibility? Visibility Controls for Editor Blocks Pro adds user role visibility, date and time scheduling, URL/query parameter rules, and an optional cache-friendly frontend mode for scheduled and URL-based rules.
