# ShowIf documentation | WebKoding How to install, licence and update ShowIf. Show the right thing to the right visitor, without writing a condition. Source: https://webkodingtheme.com/docs/showif/ --- # ShowIf documentation Show the right thing to the right visitor, without writing a condition. Back to ShowIf Open the demo ## Before you start - •WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer - •WooCommerce 7.0 or newer for the cart and product conditions; the rest works without it - •Nothing else. The point of the plugin is that the rules live in the admin instead of in a child theme ## What it does not do - —It does not create memberships, subscriptions or paywalls. It reads the state your membership plugin already sets and decides what to show. - —It does not encrypt or protect files. Hidden content is not rendered, which covers page output, not a direct link to an upload. - —The cart and product conditions need WooCommerce. Everything else works without it. ## What is in the download One WordPress plugin ZIP. There is no external service and no account: conditions are evaluated on your server as the page is built. GPL source, so a condition your business needs and nobody else does can be added by a developer. ## Installing it Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, activate, and paste the licence key from your purchase email. If you want the cart conditions, install WooCommerce first. Installing it changes nothing on its own — no rule exists until you write one. ## Writing rules you can still read next year Name every rule after what it does for the business, not after its condition. ‘Wholesale prices, trade customers only’ is findable a year later; ‘Rule 7’ is not. Prefer one rule with two conditions over two rules that overlap. Overlapping rules are how a site ends up showing the loyalty banner to everybody at the weekend. Check a rule while logged out, in a private window. The most common support question about conditional display is somebody testing as an administrator, who passes every condition. ## Licence, updates and support - One licence covers 1 WordPress site. - 1 year of updates, from the date of purchase. - 1 year of email support. - Instant download + licence key by email - 30-day money-back guarantee Questions this page does not answer go to support@webkoding.com .

Only for the shop conditions — cart total, quantity, specific products in the basket. Role, login state, schedule, device and location all work on plain WordPress. ### Does it work with block themes? Yes. Conditions apply to blocks, widgets, shortcodes and WooCommerce hooks, which covers both a block theme and a classic one. ### Can I hide prices from visitors who are not logged in? Yes — that is one of the most common uses, along with hiding wholesale prices from retail customers. It is a role condition on the price output. ### Will the hidden content still be in the page source? No. The condition is evaluated on the server, so content a visitor is not entitled to is not rendered rather than hidden with CSS. ### What happens to my rules if I deactivate the plugin? The rules are stored, not applied — everything becomes visible again and nothing is deleted. Reactivating restores them.
