Restricted Blocks 1.08 – WordPress Plugin
Description
Restricted Blocks is a WordPress plugin that lets you show or hide specific Gutenberg blocks based on custom conditions. Instead of using one-size-fits-all page layouts, you can tailor what visitors see to match the context of each page. This helps reduce irrelevant content and keep your layouts focused. It works directly with the block editor workflow, so you can manage display behavior while building your posts and pages.
By controlling block visibility with rules you define, Restricted Blocks supports more consistent user experience and clearer page relevance. The plugin is designed to stay lightweight and easy to use within WordPress, helping you apply conditional content without disrupting your theme or editing process.
