Display Logic

This section allows you to add logic to be used around the element (module, section, row). Any encapsulating shortcode will work (one with a start and end tag). To make things easier, this plugin includes a very versatile set of shortcodes. These include a set of rules to control showing and hiding by logged in status, time, date, role and more!

- Administrator

- Author
- Contributor

Note: Time based show/hide rules are based on server time. Your server time is 2021-04-22 14:17:36. Make sure to allow for this in your shortcodes so your content doesn't show/hide at the wrong times!

Note: Location based rules are based on user IP address which is not 100% perfect.
