You want to show or hide certain elements on your Breakdance website under certain conditions? Breakdance offers a very powerful tool called Conditions. With Conditions, you have many options to set conditions for the visibility of your elements in your Projects to be determined.

With Breakdance Conditions, you can individually define which conditions must be met for each element to be displayed. This can be, for example, a date, a user role or an individual PHP code.

Create conditions

To create conditions (Conditions), click on the "Settings" -tab of the element, then under "Conditions" > "Only Show Element If" click on the button "Edit Conditions"to create the breakdance conditions.

Breakdance conditions can be combined with logical operators. Several conditions can be combined via AND or OR logics.

Breakdance conditions types

The Breakdance Conditions choices are varied and include Singular, User Status, Roles, Browser, Operating System, Date & Time, Referrer and Session Attributes such as Page, Post ID and Comment Count and provide precise control over the visibility of elements. Below I will explain what each choice means and how it can be applied.

1. Singular

  • Page: Show the content only on a specific page.
  • Page Parent: Display the element if the current page is a subordinate page of the selected page.
  • Post ID: Adjust the visibility based on the unique ID of the displayed post.
  • Post Status: Control the display based on the status of the post (e.g. Published, Draft).
  • Comments Number: Adjust the visibility based on the number of comments on the post.
  • Author: Show content only on the pages of a specific author.
  • Featured Image: Display the element based on whether the post has a post image or not.

Example: Here I have a section in which I use the condition to specify that it is only visible if the status of the post is "Published".

2. User

  • User Logged In Status: Determine the visibility based on the user's login status.
  • User Role: Adjust the visibility based on the assigned user role (e.g. subscriber, editor, author).
  • User Registration Date: Adjust the visibility depending on the user's registration date.

Example: Here I have a section which I tell with the condition that it will only be displayed if the user is logged in to my website and is not an administrator. The AND operator is important here, as this means that both of my conditions must be met for it to be applied.

In other words, this element is visible to all logged-in users who are not administrators.

3. Other

  • Dynamic Data: Adjust visibility based on dynamic data generated by other plugins or functions. A common application is ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)
  • Custom PHP: Use custom PHP conditions or functions for precise visibility control.
  • Browser: Customize the visibility based on the user's browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
  • Operating System: Adjust the visibility based on the user's operating system (e.g. Windows, macOS, Linux).

Example: Here I have a section in which I use the condition to say that it is only visible if the user is using a Safari or Chrome browser. The OR operator is important here. This means that if only one of the two conditions applies, my rule applies.

In other words, the section is only visible if the user is using one of the two browsers, either Safari or Chrome.

4. Date & Time

  • Day of Week (WordPress): Control the display based on the current day of the week according to your website settings.
  • Current Time (WordPress): Adjust the visibility according to the current time according to your website settings.
  • Current Date (WordPress): Switch the visibility based on the current date according to your website settings.
  • Post Date: Adjust the visibility based on the publication date of a post.
  • Post Modified Date: Switch the display based on when a post was last edited.
  • Current Month (WordPress): Control the display based on the current month according to your website settings.

Example: Here I have a section in which I use the condition to say that it is only visible if the day of the week is Monday.

5. Referrer

  • Referrer URL: Customize the display based on the URL the user came from.
  • Referrer Type: Control visibility depending on the type of referring source, including search engine, direct link or social media.

Example: Here I have a section in which I use the condition to say that it is only visible if the referrer type is external and the referrer URL contains "linkedin".

In other words, the section is only visible when visitors come to my website externally and from LinkedIn.

6. Sessions

  • Sessions Page View Count: Customize the display based on the number of pages a user has viewed during their session.
  • Session Count: Toggle visibility based on the number of sessions a user has had on the website.

Example: Here I have a section in which I use the condition to say that it is only visible if the user has viewed more than one page.

For example, this could be a pop-up for a newsletter registration or an offer in a store that only appears when the user navigates to a second page on your website.

What we guarantee

You will only receive an invoice if we have been able to help!

Our team works hard every day to solve problems quickly for our customers or to achieve optimal results during implementation. As a result, bedemy is now known for its first-class service and has many happy customers. Our past experience and belief in our abilities enables us to offer new customers a unique promise that underlines our commitment to customer satisfaction.

We only issue an invoice if we have really been able to help!

If we are unable to help with a problem or implementation, we will not issue an invoice. Even if we have already invested time. You have no risk, because even in the event that we have implemented everything as requested, our costs are transparent, agreed in advance and never exceed the planned budget!

What our help costs

No nasty surprises

We charge according to a fixed hourly rate, which we will inform you of in a written offer before we charge you for the use of our team. This means that implementing a small feature or fixing a problem is usually quick (often within a few minutes) and therefore doesn't cost much. The implementation of a complete site, on the other hand, can take a few days (depending on the scope).

But you don't have to worry about the costs.

Firstly, you will always receive a quote from us in advance via email, even for smaller support requests. Secondly, we always stick to this cost estimate unless we tell you otherwise. If, during implementation, we realize that the task assigned to us is more complex and will take longer, we will contact you with a revised cost estimate. You can then decide whether you are prepared to accept this revised offer or not. If it's too much for you, we'll stop the project and you won't pay a penny. Not even for the work we have already invested in the project up to that point (according to the initial estimate).
