About this plugin

User Menus is the perfect plugin for websites that have logged in users.

The plugin gives you more control over your nav menu by allowing you to apply visibility controls to menu items e.g., who can see each menu item (everyone, logged out users, logged in users, specific user roles).

It also enables you to display logged in user information in the navigation menu e.g., “Hello, John Doe”.

Lastly, the plugin allows you to add login, register, and logout links to your menu.

Questions

How do I set up this plugin?

  • To setup the plugin, go to /wp-admin/ > Appearance > Menus.
  • Add a menu item or choose an existing one to edit the User Menus settings.
  • To see the User Menus settings, expand the menu item that you chose in the Menu structure panel.
  • Select Everyone, Logged Out Users, or Logged In Users from the Who can see this link? dropdown.
  • Logged In Users: The Choose which roles can see this link radio button is selected by default. If no roles are selected, all roles can see the menu item by default. Once a role is checked, then only checked roles can see the menu item.
  • Logged In Users: The Choose which roles won’t see this link radio button is not selected by default. If no roles are selected, all roles still have visibility to the menu item by default. Once a role is checked, then only checked roles won’t see the menu item.
  • To show a logged in user’s information in a menu item, make a menu item only visible to logged in users. Click the grey arrow button to add a user tag (username, first_name, last_name, nickname, display_name, email) to the menu item label.
  • To add a login or logout link to your menu, expand the User Links under the Add menu items panel, check Login or Logout, then click Add to Menu.
