  • Nach stundenlanger Suche endlich gefunden!

    Ich habe stundenlang gesucht, gebastelt und bin verzweifelt – nur um einen Block aus- oder einzublenden. Unzählige Plugins getestet, Support-Seiten durchforstet, sogar die KI ist an mir verzweifelt. Dieses Plugin macht genau das, was ich brauche. Klare Empfehlung!

  • Nice little helper plugin

    Lovely helper plugin lets you select, if you need to be logged in to see a block in a post or page and whether it should be hidden on certain devices. Currently the plugin description may be a little vague ("it does what?") but the plugin works right out of the box and may be for many a smart solution for a simple task. Well done, Matthias and Simon. 👏🏻

  • It works just smoothly

    I've used this plugins on two websites now. It works just great. The visibility option for different devices is very useful.
