This way you can easily restrict content in WPBakery pages and posts. For example you can hide a specific column element on your page or post for all users but editors or only show it to logged-out users. By default (with no checkboxes checked) the content will be visible for all users. The hidden content will also be removed from the HTML. #### Features * can hide content in the frontend for specific user roles and logged out users * works with all WPBakery elements * removes hidden content from HTML Code * also works with added custom roles * no hidden costs, completely free plugin ### Issues with specific Themes / Plugin versions There are alot of themes that are using modified versions of WPBakery Page Builder. Some may not work together well with this plugin. #### Uncode Theme The Uncode WPBakery version did not show the tab Visible for roles at all. We fixed this by changing the hook when to add the our tab. #### Salient Theme The Salient Theme transforms checkboxes to switches and removes the labels. We fixed that in 1.2.1 and put the labels back there. ## Screenshots [⌊Hide or show rows and columns with these settings in WPBakery⌉⌊Hide or show rows and columns with these settings in WPBakery⌉[ Hide or show rows and columns with these settings in WPBakery [⌊Fixed display of checkbox (which are converted to switches) labels in Salient Theme⌉⌊Fixed display of checkbox (which are converted to switches) labels in Salient Theme⌉[ Fixed display of checkbox (which are converted to switches) labels in Salient Theme [⌊Fixed tab in Uncode Theme⌉⌊Fixed tab in Uncode Theme⌉[ Fixed tab in Uncode Theme ## Installation 1.
