Frequently Asked Questions

What blocks can I manage with this plugin?

You can control access to all default WordPress blocks and any additional blocks added via other plugins.

Can I restrict block settings separately from block visibility?

Yes, the plugin allows you to hide block settings while keeping the block visible in the editor.

Will this work with custom user roles?

Absolutely! MD Governance supports all user roles, including custom ones.

Does this affect the front-end rendering of blocks?
