For certain conditions, you might want to hide certain elements on your page. By far, Elementor has no default feature to do so. The Elementor display condition feature works only on theme builder and popup templates. Happy Addons Pro comes with a feature to allow you to apply a display condition to an element. Be it a section, column, or widget. The feature allows you to show/hide elements according to the parameters you set. For instance, you can hide a section on Firefox browser or Ubuntu operating system. Here are the parameters you can set:
- Login Status
- User Role
- Operating System
- Browser
- Date Range
- Date
- Time
- Day
As you can see on the list above. You can show/hide elements based on the login status and user role. You can take advantage of them to create a membership website with Elementor+Happy Addons. You can access the display condition feature of Happy Addons Pro by opening the Happy Features block under the Advanced tab on the settings panel of Elementor.

The feature allows you to duplicate the styling of a certain widget demo — as well as the content — to the page you are working on. To use the feature, you can visit the demo page of a certain widget (which you can find on the Happy Addons website) and click the Live Copy button.
