Yes, conditional tags can be used to hide specific blocks on mobile devices. This can be achieved by combining the `is_mobile()` conditional tag with other conditions to control the visibility of blocks based on the device type. Here is an example of how you can use `is_mobile()` to hide a block on mobile devices:
php
if ( ! is_mobile() ) {
// Display the block on desktop devices
} else {
// Hide the block on mobile devices
}
Example: Hiding a Block on Mobile Devices
Here is an example of how you can use `is_mobile()` to hide a block on mobile devices:
php
// Check if the block should be hidden on mobile devices
if ( is_mobile() ) {
// Hide the block
return;
}
// Display the block on desktop devices
echo 'This block is only visible on desktop devices.';
Example: Showing a Block on Mobile Devices
Here is an example of how you can use `is_mobile()` to show a block on mobile devices:
php
// Check if the block should be shown on mobile devices
if ( ! is_mobile() ) {
// Hide the block on desktop devices
return;
}
// Display the block on mobile devices
echo 'This block is only visible on mobile devices.';
Example: Using `is_mobile()` with Other Conditions
Here is an example of how you can use `is_mobile()` with other conditions to control the visibility of blocks based on the device type and other conditions:
php
// Check if the block should be hidden on mobile devices
if ( is_mobile() && is_category( 'vegetarian' ) ) {
// Hide the block on mobile devices and vegetarian category
return;
}
// Display the block on desktop devices and all categories
echo 'This block is visible on desktop devices and all categories.';
Example: Using `is_mobile()` with Responsive Designs
Here is an example of how you can use `is_mobile()` with responsive designs to control the visibility of blocks based on the device type and screen size:
php
// Check if the block should be hidden on mobile devices
if ( is_mobile() && wp_get_current_screen_size() == 'mobile' ) {
// Hide the block on mobile devices
return;
}
// Display the block on desktop devices
echo 'This block is visible on desktop devices.';
By combining `is_mobile()` with other conditions and responsive designs, you can create complex rules for controlling the visibility of blocks based on the device type and other conditions.
