- Yes! This is a simple plugin to hide or display your Gutenberg block.
Looking for a simple way to hide or show Gutenberg blocks without deleting them? This free WordPress plugin adds an easy visibility option to every block, allowing you to temporarily control what appears on the page — directly from the block editor.
Why Add Visibility Options to Gutenberg Blocks?
Sometimes, you don’t want to delete a block, but you also don’t want it to be visible on the front end. For instance, you might be preparing seasonal content, testing new layouts, or updating sections of your page.
With this plugin, you can simply toggle the visibility of any block without losing your work or needing to use custom code.

This plugin focuses on simplicity and practicality, extending the Gutenberg editor with a new visibility control for every block:
- Hide this block – Instantly control whether a block appears on the front end.
- Preserve Content – Keep your blocks hidden without deleting them.
- Native Integration – The visibility setting appears directly in the Gutenberg sidebar.
- Lightweight & Fast – Built with performance and compatibility in mind.
- No Coding Required – Just enable or disable the visibility with one click.
How It Works
- Install & Activate the plugin in your WordPress dashboard.
- Open any post or page using the Gutenberg editor.
- Select a block, then look for the new “Visibility” option in the sidebar.
- Use the Show / Hide toggle to define if the block should appear on the front end.
- Update the page, and your visibility settings will be applied instantly.
When to Use This Plugin
This plugin is perfect for situations where you want to hide content temporarily — for example:
- When you’re preparing updates but not ready to publish them.
- When testing different content versions.
- When running temporary campaigns or promotions.
- When you want to keep content in the editor for future use.
Final Thoughts
This free WordPress plugin makes managing your content more flexible. Instead of deleting blocks or saving them elsewhere, you can simply hide them until you’re ready to make them visible again. It’s a small but powerful addition to the Gutenberg editor that can streamline your workflow and keep your content organized.
