    Great plugin! I use it alongside the Bogo multilingual plugin. It’s a clever way to manage multilingual sites in FSE by displaying different navigation menus based on the URL path. While dedicated premium multilingual plugins might offer more automated features, this combination is a robust, lightweight, and perfect solution for small websites on a budget.

    I use this plugin on several sites I’ve built with Gutenberg and it adds really useful features. It offers a lot of flexibility without adding an intrusive interface. Thanks for building this plugin!

    Nick has truly gone above and beyond with this plugin. Block Visibility is something that should be in core, but even beyond the basics, he’s provided the community with a truly enterprise/premium tool. The documentation is extensive and easy to access. Unlike many other systems of hiding content (like the responsive visibility settings in Kadence Blocks), all Block Visibility controls conditionally render content at the server level improving SEO and page speed. It’s important to note that the Screen Size control is the only control that hides blocks using CSS.

    You will not be using this right out of the box, as it is very difficult to use

    I just installed it. I realized that it does not support the taxonomies. For me it is useless. Maybe a pro version does, but I not want to pay for it in minute one. I see that it does support ACF field support. Nice, though I do not know if it works or if there are roadblocks ahead. I do not need it anyways. So many people seem to be very happy to use it. Hence in order not to distrupt the rating 4 starts… This topic was modified 6 months, 2 weeks ago by saksaksak.
