Restrict block visibility by page and content type in Drupal 8

Question

I declared a block to display the 3 most recent articles published and I would like to display it on a specific page so I added /my-page/ into the block page list but it didn't worked. I then changed it to /my-page* and it worked but I ended up getting my block on /my-page/other-content which is not what I wanted.

Moreover if I declare a list of page and a content type, my content type is not taken into account.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Answer 1

Could you first of all simply try /my-page without the trailing slash, please.

Apart from that you may have a look a the following module:

Block Exclude pages

Then you'd say Show for the listed pages

/my-page*
!/my-page/*

And regarding the content types there was a bug with ctools which still seems to be unfixed. So you may have a look at:

Block Visibility Groups

Here you can configure a visibility group which hides blocks for a specific content type.

The visibility groups also are reusable, that means you can apply the same settings on multiple blocks.
