Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Block Control version 2.0.1 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
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:
Device types (desktop, mobile, screen reader)
Viewports/CSS breakpoints
Login status
Date (start and end date)
User roles
Page types
Posts of the current post type
Feeds
Page number in numbered pages (in archives and search results)
Additionally, you can set an inline formatting to display certain text only for screen readers.
