Docs / Ele Conditions / Display Conditions

Display Conditions

Show or hide any element based on server-side logic. Conditions are evaluated before the page is sent to the browser — elements that fail their conditions are never rendered in the HTML.

Condition types

Each row in the Ele Conditions repeater is one condition. You can add as many as needed and connect them with AND/OR logic.

Type	Description
Variable comparison	Compare a variable (user role, post status, cart total, UTM…) to a value using an operator
Time interval (daily, HH:MM)	Show the element only during a specific time window, every day
Date / time interval (YYYY-MM-DD)	Show the element only within a specific date range

Variable comparison

The most versatile type. Choose a variable, an operator, and a value to compare against.

Set Type to Variable comparison
Choose a variable from the Variable dropdown (or select Type manually…)
Choose an Operator
Enter the Value to compare against

Operators

Operator	Meaning	Example
`== (equal)`	Loose equality	`user_role == administrator`
`!= (not equal)`	Loose inequality	`post_status != draft`
`=== (strict equal)`	Exact type + value match	`is_logged_in === true`
`!== (strict not equal)`	Exact mismatch	—
`> (greater than)`	Numeric	`cart_count > 0`
`< (less than)`	Numeric	`post_age_days < 7`
`>= (greater or equal)`	Numeric	`cart_total >= 50`
`<= (less or equal)`	Numeric	`current_hour <= 18`

Practical examples

What you want	Variable	Operator	Value
Show only to logged-in users	`is_logged_in`	`==`	`true`
Show only to administrators	`user_role`	`==`	`administrator`
Show a banner when cart has items	`cart_count`	`>`	`0`
Hide on draft posts	`post_status`	`!=`	`draft`
Show only on pages (not posts)	`post_type`	`==`	`page`
Show for email campaign visitors	`utm_medium`	`==`	`email`
Show new posts only (last 7 days)	`post_age_days`	`<`	`7`
Show posts with a featured image	`post_has_thumbnail`	`==`	`true`

TIP

Use Debug mode (see below) to verify that a variable resolves to the value you expect before going live.

ACF / Meta fields

Select ACF / Meta field (dropdown)… from the Variable dropdown
A second dropdown appears with all fields found in your database — select your field
If the field is not listed, select — type manually — and enter the field key

User meta fields

Select User meta field… from the Variable dropdown
Enter the meta key (the field name as stored in wp_usermeta)

Custom variable (manual)

Select Type manually… to enter any variable name directly. Useful for custom variables registered by your theme or a developer. See Custom variables for how to register your own.

Time interval (daily)

Shows the element only during a specific daily time window.

Set Type to Time interval (daily, HH:MM)
Enter From time in HH:MM format (e.g. 09:00)
Enter To time in HH:MM format (e.g. 17:00)

The time window is evaluated using your WordPress timezone (Settings → General). Cross-midnight ranges are supported — 22:00 to 06:00 correctly spans 10 PM to 6 AM.

From	To	Effect
`09:00`	`17:00`	Business hours only
`20:00`	`23:00`	Evening promotion
`22:00`	`06:00`	Night mode content (cross-midnight)

Date / time interval

Shows the element only within a specific date range. Both From and To are optional — leave one empty for an open-ended range.

Set Type to Date/time interval (YYYY-MM-DD)
Click the From picker and select a date (and optionally a time)
Click the To picker and select a date (and optionally a time)

INFO

A date-only To value automatically extends to the end of that day (23:59:59), so the element stays visible for the full last day.

From	To	Effect
`2026-11-28`	`2026-11-30`	Black Friday weekend
`2026-12-24 00:00`	`2026-12-26`	Christmas (with exact start time)
`2026-01-01`	(empty)	Show from New Year onwards
(empty)	`2026-06-30`	Show until end of June

AND / OR logic

The Connect next with field on each row controls how multiple conditions combine.

Setting	Meaning
AND — all must match	The element is shown only if this condition AND the next are both true
OR — any must match	The element is shown if this condition OR the next is true

Example — banner only during a Black Friday email campaign:

Row	Condition	Connect next with
1	`utm_medium == email`	AND
2	Date interval `2026-11-28` to `2026-11-30`	—

Debug mode

Enable the Debug mode switch at the bottom of the Ele Conditions section when you're not sure why a condition is passing or failing.

The element is not hidden — it stays visible for all visitors
A colored info block appears inside the element, visible only to Administrator or Editor roles
The block shows: variable name, resolved value, operator, and the final result (true or false)

WARN

Always turn off Debug mode before the page goes live. The element stays visible for everyone while debug is on.
