FAQ
-
Does this work with all blocks?
-
Yes. Conditions are added to every registered block type via the Block API.
-
No. Rules apply on the frontend so editors can always manage content. An optional dashed outline highlights conditional blocks in the editor.
-
Does country detection call an external service?
-
No. The plugin only reads local CDN headers such as Cloudflare
CF-IPCountry. You can override detection with theviblx_detect_countryfilter. -
Is any visitor data sent off-site?
-
No. There is no telemetry.
-
The WooCommerce Purchase condition requires WooCommerce to be installed and active.
-
How do I add a custom PHP rule?
-
Register an allow-listed callable with the
viblx_php_callbacksfilter, then choose PHP Callback in the block sidebar.
