Visibility Condition Fragments Bug

[T-low]

Hi there,

using the default header part and adding it to the global header fragment I am unable to hide the header with the conditions in the image below. Other options work, like user ID.

Cheers

Environment info

• Chrome
• WordPress version: 6.4.3
• Cwicly Plugin version: 1.4.2

Hi @T-low,

I think there may be a slight misunderstanding about how conditions work. Your conditions basically show in all cases because you are not doing anything to negate them.

If you want to hide for guests, you will want to add a “Do not show if”:

Hi @StrangeTech,

thank you for your reply

Does this work for you?

I tried with a new local Laragon installation and could still see the header when logged out/ Incognito mode.

I only have Cwicly version 1.4.1.2 installed and no caching is active on the wordpress site.

I tested this with Chrome and multiple devices

Does this work for you?

I don’t have time to test right now, I know there were some issues with this in the past. If it is not working, here are a couple of possible alternatives that may work:

1. Use username instead:

2. Create a shortcode and inside of it call the function in the second condition shown in the following screenshot:

a) Create a shortcode that calls this function:

Here are the exact conditions:

How to add custom code and shortcode definitions

As there have been a few posts where questions around this came up, I thought it may be useful to show the four most common ways you can add custom code that work well with Cwicly. 1. Child theme functions.php Download the child theme and install from here (only do this for new websites unless you know how to transfer your theme customisations to the child theme): Cwicly.com dashboard - Add child theme & make links obvious - #9 by StrangeTech Edit the functions.php file and add your custom …

b) Add a shortcode condition based on what you created in step a:

Hi @StrangeTech,

thank you for the reply and all the helpful links.

I used the shortcode option before, but when testing I thought this might be a bug, hence the report.

As your feedback post reads, it seems to be true that this is a bug? So I will leave it as such.

Was a little sad that I saw a function return, but it was not available in the visibility conditioning.

Hey there,
picking up this topic since I am also facing issues here.

I want to create a preview for a modal which should appear on the home page of the site. However, the mentioned conditions “user logged in” doesn’t work (in any combination). I think that this is still kind of a bug, no?

Creating a shortcode is a nice workaround, but i would prefer to use the built-in conditions

Hello @Wolfgang,

Thanks for bringing this up again.
Definitely a bug on global fragments that will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks to @T-low for the initial report.

Cheers,

Hey @Louis,
thanks a lot!

For others facing that issue and just want to produce a preview (for client review). I didn’t want to make a shortcode, cause I tend to forget to delete such kind of stuff, so another solution would be to create a condition with URL Parameter and set it to review-preview with a value of true for example.

Then you can visit your page with ?review-preview=true

Just in case that someone needs that.

Hello @T-low,

Thanks for your patience on this one

The issue should be fixed in 1.4.2.

If you still have trouble, please don’t hesitate to let me know by replying to this thread.

Wow, great one to fix! Nicely done @Louis!
