 */
add_filter( 'afb/should_render_block', function( $should_render, $rules, $block ) {
    // Force render regardless of visibility rules
    return true;
}, 10, 3 );

/**
 * Add custom visibility logic based on user role
 */
add_filter( 'afb/should_render_block', function( $should_render, $rules, $block ) {
    // Hide blocks for non-admin users even if rules pass
