Advanced Text Widget

2nd EDIT: The plugin has now been updated, so my original review stands.

1st EDIT: Even though this was a great plugin in its day, it hasn't been updated in over 2 years and was flagged as vulnerable to attack when I ran WPScan. I therefore can't recommend it for now.

Original review: Can't imagine building a WordPress site without this, it's normally the first plugin one I install. Makes adding custom content to sidebars on a per-page basis an absolute breeze. Very flexible, you can type PHP and shortcodes in the text area and it displays whatever you want. A must have for any WordPress site developer.

Essential plugin for all my sites

Text widget with raw PHP support and conditional visibility settings. Flexible conditional options with ability to edit and add custom conditions.

<p>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’ <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags" rel="nofollow ugc">Conditional Tags</a> or any general PHP code.</p>
<h3>Show or hide blocks based on</h3>
<ul>
<li>User role</li>
<li>User login status</li>
<li>Post status</li>
<li>Date and time</li>
<li>The result of a custom PHP function</li>
</ul>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Show or hide any block using conditions</li>
<li>Combine conditions with “and” or “or” operators. See FAQ Writing Logic Code</li>
<li>Full flexibility: use any condition you want (you can extend base functionality with filters)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>Just activate the plugin. The “Block Logic” textbox will then appear in the “Advanced” section of the Gutenberg editor.</p>
<h3>Breaking changes since 2.0.0</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Upgrade Notice</h3>
<p>When upgrading to version 2.x you will need to update your logic. No <code>return</code> is allowed anymore and no semicolons in code as only expressions are evaluated. See FAQ Section <strong>Writing Logic Code</strong>.</p>


Block Logic – Full Block Display Control

Works just like widget logic. Excellent plugin and easy to use.
