Reviews
what people actually sayBlock Visibility is a well-regarded conditional visibility plugin for the Gutenberg block editor, praised for its depth of features and clean implementation, with the main caveat being that some advanced controls (like taxonomy support) require a paid upgrade.
What people like
- +Easy to use and integrates cleanly into the block editor without bloating the site×5
- +Server-side conditional rendering improves SEO and page speed (only Screen Size control uses CSS)
- +Wide range of visibility conditions available in the free version, including URL parameter targeting×3
- +Works for hiding blocks nested inside other plugin blocks
- +Extensive and accessible documentation
Common complaints
- −Taxonomy support is not available in the free version, requiring a paid upgrade
- −Can be difficult to use right out of the box for some users
