I want to be sure I’m not overlooking something but is there any way to set a block’s frontend visibility based on conditional elements such as a post’s taxonomy?

Hi there,
If it’s a Hook element then you can use the Display Rules to control it:

Hi Leo, I guess that could work. I was initially looking at this as finding a way to create a single Block Element set to show on a custom post type and individual content blocks would have the display rules.
However, it sounds like you’re suggesting I create mutually exclusive Block Elements that only have the taxonomy based content block set to display in the custom post type with a taxonomy based display rule.
If that’s correct, would this generate any additional query load by having a dozen different Block Elements with taxonomy based display rules as opposed to a single Block Element with display rules at the content block level?

I should mention that the hooks method would only work if your content is placed within the hook locations as there are no hooks inside the content itself:

I’m not sure, unfortunately. You would need to test this out.

Acknowledged and thanks for the reminder. We’ll run some tests on our end to see if this approach has any adverse impact on page load speed.

No problem 🙂
