Does this plugin only change a block’s “display” property to “none”?

  • I’m considering possibly using this plugin on a WordPress site that I’m developing, but I just have one important question.

    When a dynamic condition is met, .. does this plugin only change a block’s CSS “display” property to “none”? Or does it actually prevent the HTML block from even being rendered? In other words, if I was to view the underlying source code of the page on the front end of the site .. would the HTML code for that block still be there, .. but with something like “style=”display:none;” attached to it so it doesn’t display within the page?

    I ask because I saw that some other folks in this support forum mentioned that when trying to dynamically show/hide shortcode generated output, they learned that their shortcodes were still actually firing, but that the output wasn’t being displayed. I too was hoping to use plugin to dynamically show/hide shortcode generated output, but wouldn’t be able to do so if this only toggles CSS display properties as I’m suspecting. Please advise.

    Thanks,

    Can anyone here answer this question for me? I don’t want to purchase an Elementor Pro license if the plugin can’t do what I need it to.

    Hi @ygagnon2016, the following code is in place of my HTML when the condition specifies to hide the code/block:
    <!-- hidden widget -->

    Hello @ygagnon2016

    the plugin fully removes the widget from the HTML-Code and just adds a Html-Comment.
    But if you have a shortcode which adds something to the database, than this action will be executed.
