Conditional Content supports a wide selection of conditions, such as device, user groups, date ranges, languages, menu items, and more. These conditions define when or to whom you want to show the content.
By clicking on the Conditional Content editor button, you will be able to insert all the available conditions in an easy-to-use interface, as part of the "Conditions" tab.
If all of the conditions are set to Ignore
, the piece of text will show up (when using {show}
) or be hidden (when using {hide}
) on all pages. As soon as you set one or more of the conditions to Include
or Exclude
, the piece of text will be limited to the specified conditions.
Matching Method
As mentioned above, you can use and combine any of the conditions. You don't have to just use one.
To control how multiple conditions are applied, there is a Matching Method option. This determines whether all or any conditions need to be matched:
- ALL: Will be published if ALL of the below conditions are matched at the same time.
- ANY: Will be published if ANY (one or more) of the below conditions are matched at any time. This will add a
matching_method="any"
attribute in the plugin tag.
Condition groups where "Ignore" is selected will be ignored.
Note: When setting any or more conditions to Exclude, the Matching Method should be set to ALL. Otherwise, using ANY would result in one Exclude condition to always match and the piece of text to show everywhere else.
Condition States
Each condition type has three possible states/options.
- Ignore (default)
- Include: the content will be shown/hidden in all circumstances that do match that condition.
- Exclude: the content will be shown/hidden in all circumstances that do not match that condition. This will add a
!
after the condition type name in the plugin tag.
By default all conditions are ignored, meaning the condition is not used.
To use an condition, you set the option to Include
or Exclude
depending on the desired effect.
