Ultimate Addons for Elementor Page Builders uae/display-rules-get-locations

Lists all available targeting locations for display rules, grouped by category.

Requires the Ultimate Addons for Elementor (Header Footer & Elementor) plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the WP Abilities API). No ability registers unless the plugin's 'Enable AI Tools' master switch (uae_mcp_settings.enable_abilities) is turned on in settings. Most abilities require the 'manage_options' capability; a smaller set of read/discovery abilities (template and page listing, the Elementor builder read/list/schema abilities, active-template lookup, display-rule locations, and design tokens) instead require only 'edit_posts' or 'read'. Abilities that act on a specific page, post, or template additionally check the current user's per-object 'edit_post' (or 'delete_post') capability on that item. Separately, every non-readonly (Write or Destructive) ability is gated behind a site-wide 'Allow Modifications' setting at registration time: if it is off, none of those abilities are even registered with the WP Abilities API, regardless of capability checks — this covers all template/page CRUD, widget/extension toggles, display-rule updates, theme/settings changes, and the Elementor builder writes alike, not just the builder ones. Eight of those abilities (the seven Elementor page-builder writes — build, insert-widget, update-widget, remove-element, move-element, add-section, add-column — plus pages-create) additionally re-check this same setting explicitly inside execute() as a redundant safeguard.

What it does

Takes no input. Reads the grouped location option data used by HFE's admin metabox, then transforms each group's value map into a structured array of {group, locations: [{type, label}, ...]} objects. This is meant to be called before setting display rules so the caller knows valid location 'type' strings to pass into the include_locations/exclude_locations rule arrays.

See it in action

You ask your AI assistant

"What targeting locations can I choose from when setting display rules for a header template?"

Returns

An object with a groups array, each item containing a group label and a locations array of {type, label} pairs.

Permission

Requires current_user_can('edit_posts') — a broader capability than the 'manage_options' check used by most other abilities. execute() calls none of the shared trait's gating methods since this ability is purely read-only.
