Biggest opportunity: Swap “control” and “hide” for “ges” and “targeted content”. “control” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ges” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “targeted content” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 66.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “control” and “hide” for “ges” and “targeted content”. “control” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ges” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “targeted content” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “display logic”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Erik Molenaar10mo ago
Sometimes you stumble upon a small gem and wonder why it still has so few active installations. That was exactly my first thought with Conditional Blocks, but it didn’t take long to realize it’s an absolute keeper. I was specifically looking for a solution that works well with WPML and allows PHP-based conditions for full control. Most plugins stop at pre-defined, “one-size-fits-all” visibility rules, which is exactly where I usually get stuck. Conditional Blocks doesn’t do that. The PHP Logic feature gives me the freedom to implement my own logic instead of being limited to pre-chewed options, which is essential for more complex multilingual setups. ChatGPT actually pointed me to this plugin, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. On top of that, the developer responded very quickly to my support email and actively thought along to help me get this working properly. That kind of hands-on, thoughtful support is awesome and very much appreciated. Highly recommended for developers who want real control and responsive support!

Found this plugin when I needed a solution to a complex client need for displaying certain content on certain days and at certain times. It’s amazing in its simple and straightforward approach and love how the developer has incorporated it into the block editor. Works at any level of block editing, from row to section to individual block. Morgan is also super responsive when answering questions and even incorporated a feature request into a recent update – just wow! The price to upgrade to the Pro version for me/my client’s need is totally worth it – especially love the Preset capability. Kudos to the developer!

The «condition builder» looks great, especially for more complex tasks. But if you are not willing to pay for the pro version, most of the conditions are not available. And in thise case there are other plugins which can do similar things whith a less complex interface.

I tried 2 other plugins first (Block Visibility and Responsive Block Control) neither of which work at all for block visibility based on screen size for blocks containing short code. Conditional Blocks just works. Thank you for this great plugin.
