The Display group decides when a block or a section shows on your site: on which screen sizes, to which visitors, and on which pages or posts. Every block has it. Of the five section types, only the one named Section has it. Navigation, Dialog, Post Content and Post Comments do not.
Select the block, and find Display in the right sidebar. The group starts empty. Click the + beside Display to add a rule. The menu groups the rules under Responsive, Audience, Page & site and Post, and checks the ones in use. To remove a rule, select it again in the menu, which clears it.
When you add several rules, the block shows only where all of them match. For example, Hide on Mobile together with Audience set to Members shows the block to signed-in members on tablets and desktops.
Responsive
Setting
What it does
Screen sizes
Hides the block on the screen sizes you check: Hide on Desktop (1024 px and wider), Hide on Tablet (672 to 1023 px) and Hide on Mobile (below 672 px). The width is the visitor's browser window. Check all three and the panel says "Hidden on all screen sizes."
Section widths
Blocks only. Hides the block by the width of the section it is in rather than the window: Hide at Wide (1024 px and wider), Hide at Medium (672 to 1023 px) and Hide at Narrow (below 672 px). Use it for a block in a section that is narrower than the screen, such as a block in a Post Content sidebar or a dialog.
The canvas follows these rules. Switch the preview to Mobile, and a block hidden on mobile disappears from it. It stays in the left sidebar's list of the section's blocks. Hide a section or block on some screen sizes walks through it.
Audience
Setting
What it does
Audience
Who sees the block: Everyone (the default), Everyone, if memberships are enabled, Visitors (people who are not signed in), Members (any signed-in member), Free members, Paid members or Selected tiers. Every choice except Everyone also hides the block while memberships are turned off in Ghost Admin.
Tier names
Shows when Audience is Selected tiers. Enter one Ghost tier name per line, spelled exactly as in Ghost, capitals included, such as Supporter. If you rename a tier in Ghost, change it here too. The block shows to a paid member whose subscription is in one of these tiers and is active, in a trial, unpaid or past due. With no names, the block shows to nobody.
Turning Audience off in the menu clears Tier names too. Ghost leaves the block out of the page for everyone outside the audience, so it is not in the page's source either. Show content only to members or some tiers walks through a members-only block.
Content conditions
The rules under Page & site and Post show the block only when the page matches. The group lists them under Show when all match, each with an x to remove it.
Condition
The block shows when
Page shows its title
The Ghost page has Show title and feature image turned on in Ghost Admin.
Site has a logo
Your Ghost site has a publication logo, set in Ghost Admin.
Locked post
The reader cannot open the full post, because it is for members or paid members. It depends on the reader: a members-only post is locked for visitors and open for members. Use it for a message beside the free part of the post.
The post's access in Ghost is set to members only, whoever reads it.
Paid-members post
The post's access is set to paid members only.
Post for chosen tiers
The post's access is set to specific tiers.
Not the last item
The block is in an item of a Collection other than the last one, such as the comma after each tag but the last. Offered only inside a Collection's item.
Not the last item looks only at the item's place in the list. The five post conditions read a post. Inside a post list, such as a Collection, that is each item's post. On the Post and Page templates, it is the post or page itself. On other templates, such as the home page or a tag page, a block with a post condition outside a post list never shows.
A post has one access level, so two of Members-only post, Paid-members post and Post for chosen tiers never match together. When you pick more than one, the group says "A post has one visibility level. Choose one post visibility condition."
Several blocks at once
When you select blocks of different types together, the panel shows only Screen sizes and Section widths, and they change every selected block. A box that some blocks have checked and others do not shows a dash.
On sections
A Section offers Screen sizes, Audience and the content conditions. It has no Section widths. The rules apply to the whole section with everything in it.
The Display group decides when a block or a section shows on your site: on which screen sizes, to which visitors, and on which pages or posts. Every block has it. Of the five section types, only the one named Section has it. Navigation, Dialog, Post Content and Post Comments do not.
