Description

The Restricted Blocks is a conditional visibility plugin that restricts the display of Gutenberg blocks according to login rules, user role, scheduled date, access device, and age verification. Aimed at those who need to hide specific sections of pages without duplicating templates, it adds a conditions panel directly to the editor sidebar, applying filters by block without touching theme code.

Main Features of Restricted Blocks

  • User Role Restriction
    Define which roles (administrator, editor, subscriber, visitor) see each block.
  • Age Verification
    Show an age confirmation modal before unlocking the content of protected blocks.
  • Scheduled Time
    Show or hide blocks within time frames configured in the editor.
  • Device Filtering
    Define if the block appears on desktop, tablet or mobile individually.
  • Login Conditions
    Release or hide blocks only for authenticated or disconnected users.

Benefits of Restricted Blocks

  • Layout Repurposing
    Avoid duplicating entire layouts just to vary content between different audiences.
  • Age Restriction Compliance
    Meet legal requirements for gating alcohol, tobacco, or age-restricted content.
  • Centralized Editor Workflow
    Set conditions directly in the sidebar without installing additional membership plugins.
  • Granular Segmentation
    Tailor the same page to different profiles, time slots, and access devices.

Who is Restricted Blocks Suitable For?

  • Those selling alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or age-restricted items in a WordPress store.
  • Those maintaining member-only areas, paid customers, or specific user groups.
  • Those needing to schedule promotions and seasonal notices with automatic appearance and disappearance on the site.

How to Download Restricted Blocks

The Restricted Blocks is available for download here in the Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and click activate. Visibility options appear in the block editor sidebar.

For niche sites (wineries, tobacconists, adult areas, restricted medical content), the Restricted Blocks solves the legal barrier without requiring custom development. Operating within the block editor, it avoids manual shortcodes, conditional PHP code, or heavy membership plugins, making it viable to segment the page by profile, time, or device with just clicks in the sidebar.
