STOP! Before using this older version of the plugin, check out <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome-4-menus/" rel="ugc">the new Font Awesome 4 Menus for WordPress</a>!
Seriously… 
Seriously – we’re not supporting this anymore. If you’re starting fresh, use our new plugin (above). If you’re upgrading, make sure you make note of the differences between the old i class codes and the new ones. Any issues that were found in this plugin have been addressed in the new version, and we’ve added a ton of new functionality too!

Back to the old plugin notes…
Add Font Awesome icons to your WordPress menus without touching a single line of code! With this plugin, just add icon-(icon name) as a class to your menu and the plugin will put that icon into your menu before the text!
With Font Awesome Menus, you have access to the old Font Awesome 3.2 library throughout your site. With the included shortcode, you can also add icons to pages, posts, custom post types, widgets – anywhere you want them!
In your menus…
Want to add a home icon to the “home” link on your menu? Just add:
<pre><code>icon-home
</code></pre>
as a class in your menu and the icon will be inserted before the text.
In your posts/pages
Want that home icon to show up in a post or page or custom post type? Use the shortcode:
<pre><code>[icon name=icon-home]
</code></pre>
and voila!
In your theme
Because Font Awesome is available throughout your site, use it in other parts of your theme too! Want that home icon hardcoded into your footer? Here you go:
<pre><code>
</code></pre>
It’s all there, baby
You can also use any and all of the code options and styles on the Font Awesome website. See more examples at <a href="http://fontawesome.io/examples/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://fontawesome.io/examples/</a>

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.
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.
<h4>IMPORTANT NOTE</h4>
In WordPress menu items and pages are completely separate entities. Nav Menu Roles does not restrict access to content. Nav Menu Roles is only for showing/hiding nav menu items. If you wish to restrict content then you need to also be using a membership plugin.
<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. Keep in mind that the role doesn’t limit the item strictly to that role, but to everyone who has that role’s capability. For example: an item set to “Subscriber” will be visible by Subscribers and by admins. Think of this more as a minimum role required to see an item. </li>
</ol>
<h4>Support</h4>

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!

Reliable and essential plugin


This plugin is great, does exactly what it is supposed to do. Great job, thank you!


Easy to use, simply works!


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

Hide custom menu items based on user roles. PLEASE READ THE FAQ IF YOU ARE NOT SEEING THE SETTINGS.
