Hierarchical conditions for posts

The Is Parent Post, Is Not Parent Post, Is Child Post of, and Is Not Child Post of conditions work for the Custom Post Types (CPTs) with the WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Post Types > Hierarchical toggle enabled.

This toggle allows for making post type hierarchical and setting parent and child posts.

To be able to attach a parent to a post, one should add the “Page Attributes” option in the Supports dropdown menu.

Then, one can go to the hierarchical post type, click “Quick Edit” of one of the posts, select the Parent post, and press the “Update” button.

Date & Time conditions

This section contains two conditions:

• Time Period — the element will be shown only at specified time periods. The preferred time should be entered into the Time From and Time To fields in the 24-hour format (for example, 23:00). Also, the dynamic tags can be used, e.g., values from the custom fields;
• Days of week — the element will be shown only on specified days of the week. The desired weekdays can be selected in the Days of Week dropdown menu.

The usage examples are described in the How to Set Dynamic Visibility Based on the Days of the Week tutorial. 

Listings conditions

These conditions can be applied to the elements in the Listing templates. For example, by setting the “Is even item” and “Is odd item” conditions, one can alternate different elements in the listing. Also, be aware that these conditions are applied only to the nearest listings and aren’t applicable from the nested listing to the parent and vice versa.

• Is even item — shows the element if the Listing Item in the Listing Grid widget or block is even (second, fourth, etc.);
• Is odd item — shows the element if the Listing Item in the Listing Grid widget or block is odd (first, third, etc.);
• Is N item — shows the element if the Listing Item is N in a row. For instance, if the Number is set to “3,” the element will be shown if the Listing Item is third in a row. If the Each N Number toggle is activated, the element will be displayed for every third item.
