  • Exactly the visibility control I needed

    I’ve been searching for a clean and reliable way to control the visibility of individual blocks, and this plugin delivers exactly that. The interface is intuitive, the options are clearly structured, and everything works seamlessly inside the editor without adding unnecessary complexity. What I appreciate most is that the plugin stays lightweight while still giving me precise control over when and how blocks appear. It integrates naturally into my workflow and does exactly what it promises.
