Have you ever used WordPress’ new block editor Gutenberg and wished for a way to influence, when and to whom blocks are shown? We’ve been in this situation, that’s why we came up with Block Control. This nifty little plugin allows you to control, whether a block should be displayed under certain circumstances or not. And that’s of course true for both WordPress’ default blocks and blocks added by third-party plugins.
You can hide blocks based on:
<ul>
<li>Device types (desktop, mobile, screen reader)</li>
<li>Login status</li>
<li>Date (start and end date)</li>
<li>User roles</li>
<li>Page types</li>
<li>Posts of the current post type</li>
<li>Page number in numbered pages (in archives and search results)</li>
</ul>
Additionally, you can set an inline formatting to display certain text only for screen readers.

Block Control

I've used this plugins on two websites now. It works just great. The visibility option for different devices is very useful.

It works just smoothly

Lovely helper plugin lets you select, if you need to be logged in to see a block in a post or page and whether it should be hidden on certain devices.

Currently the plugin description may be a little vague ("it does what?") but the plugin works right out of the box and may be for many a smart solution for a simple task. 

Well done, Matthias and Simon. 👏🏻

Nice little helper plugin
