<p>This plugin lets you hide custom menu items based on user roles.  So if you have a link in the menu that you only want to show to logged in users, certain types of users, or even only to logged out users, this plugin is for you.</p>
<p>Nav Menu Roles is very flexible. In addition to standard user roles, you can customize the functionality by adding your own check boxes with custom labels using the <code>nav_menu_roles</code> filter and then using the <code>nav_menu_roles_item_visibility</code> filter to check against whatever criteria you need. You can check against any user meta values (like capabilities) and any custom attributes added by other plugins.</p>
<h4>IMPORTANT NOTE</h4>
<p>In WordPress menu items and pages are completely separate entities. Nav Menu Roles does not restrict access to content. Nav Menu Roles is <em>only</em> for showing/hiding <em>nav menu</em> items. If you wish to restrict content then you need to also be using a membership plugin.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to Appearance > Menus</li>
<li>Set the “Display Mode” to either “logged in users”, “logged out users”, or “everyone”. “Everyone” is the default.</li>
<li>If you wish to customize by role, set the “Display Mode” to “Logged In Users” and under “Restrict menu item to a minimum role” check the boxes next to the desired roles. <strong>Keep in mind that the role doesn’t limit the item strictly to that role, but to everyone who has that role’s capability.</strong> For example: an item set to “Subscriber” will be visible by Subscribers <em>and</em> by admins. Think of this more as a minimum role required to see an item. </li>
</ol>

Nav Menu Roles

good plugins do one job well, this is a good plugin

works well

We've been using this plugin on a number of sites for several years and have found it to be 100% reliable. Being able to show or hide menu items based on roles is essential for some sites so this plugin has been a life-saver.
The author is still supporting the plugin and responds to support queries too.
Thanks Helga!

I tried a few other plugins before getting to this one.  Before starting I had an idea of the UI I wanted, and none had it until this one.  This plugin has exactly the right about of UI to do what I need.


Exactly what I wanted
