[Resolved] Disable a sidebar GB container when a certain page is viewed

[George]

I want to disable a particular container that resides in a sidebar element when a certain page is viewed. Is that possible?

[Leo]

Hey George,

It should be possible with CSS if that container has a custom class added.

Can you link me to the page in question if you need help with the CSS?

It should be something like:

.page-id-xxx .custom-class {
    display: none;
}

Hi Leo, I can do the CSS, it’s very easy, I just want to disable it completely, like gone from the markup. Maybe a GB filter and a conditional check if ( is page() ), or something.

I’ve not seen a solution for this unfortunately.

You could try checking with WP’s support team – if Gutenberg editor has a way to make a block (any blocks) disappear, then I’d assume it would work with GB’s container block.

Oops posted in the wrong thread.

You are right, it’s the render_block filter. Here I remove a GB container when a custom term from a custom taxonomy is viewed.

add_filter( 'render_block', function( $content, $block ) {
    if ($block['blockName'] === 'generateblocks/container') {
        if (isset($block['attrs']['className']) ) {
			if (strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'bet-of-the-day-sidebar' ) !== false && is_tax( 'my-taxonomy', 'my-term' ) ) {
            	return '';
			}
        }
    } 
	
	return $content;
}, 10, 2 );

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the solution!
