Fabulous - thank you!!
It does exactly what you anticipate and it does it intuitively! Easy to use and perfect for our non-profit orgs to do a daily 'reveal.' Each day we want a different message displayed. This lets me build the site well in advance and let Block Visibility handle which message is displayed on which date. Just excellent.

This is the best.
I cannot overstate how I do like this plugin. It's so easy to use and has soo many options to control visibility. Plus: It's also very clean and supports the look&feel of the WordPress Block Editor. The admin settings could be implemented in a more native way, but it's very good to hide the settings in the respective "settings" submenu, instead of creating a new first level menu, like some (most) plugins do. Thank you for the effort. I appreciate it very much.

Great plugin
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.

Super useful!
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!

One of the best plugins
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.
