<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Two new Navigation Block (variations) for:
<ul>
<li>Mobile</li>
<li>Desktop</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Style your menu differently depending on screen size.</li>
<li>Use a different menu for each screen size.</li>
<li>Customize the “breakpoint” (where you switch between mobile and desktop).</li>
<li>Automatically switch editor to “mobile” preview when editing the mobile navigation.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>This Plugin creates two block variations from the Navigation block which will be <strong>automatically hidden/shown at the configured screensize</strong> (breakpoint):</p>
<ul>
<li>Navigation (Mobile) – will be displayed only on smaller screen sizes.</li>
<li>Navigation (Desktop) – will be displayed only on larger screen sizes.</li>
</ul>
<p>This affords the ability to <strong>independently style mobile vs desktop navigation</strong> and even allows for <strong>completely different menus</strong> to be used.</p>
<p>The Plugin should be used as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install and Activate the plugin – two new block variations will be automatically registered for “Mobile” and “Desktop”.</li>
<li>Go to the Editor and remove any existing Navigation block.</li>
<li>Add the “Desktop Navigation” block – style and configure the menu for “desktop” as required.</li>
<li>Add the “Mobile Navigation” block – style and configure the menu for “mobile” as required.</li>
<li>View the front of your website and resize your browser to see the navigations swap out at the appropriate breakpoint/screensize.</li>
</ul>
<p>Alternatively you can transform the default Navigation block to either <code>Mobile</code> or <code>Desktop</code> variations via the block’s interface.</p>

Responsive Navigation Block


Thanks for providing a solution to this common problem, it is very helpful


Such a needed feature, thank you!

Complete control over your navigation menus based on screen size including styles and menu items.

<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!

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.
