Conditional Blocks Pros allows you to toggle the visibility of WordPress blocks based on the current Post Meta data.
Post meta, also known as custom fields is data that’s attached to specific posts.
Our Post meta (custom fields) condition is compatible with plugins that add custom data as post meta. You can use this feature with popular plugins such as Advanced Custom Fields and Metabox.
See our native Advanced Custom Fields integration for easier setup with custom fields.
