<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

<p>This plugin allows you to display menu items based on if a user is logged in, logged out or based on the role you have given the user.</p>
<p>This plugin allows fine-grained permissions to be added to each individual menu item to display or not display the item based on the<br />
 users logged in/logged out status or the role assigned to the user.  This solves the problem of having to modify theme functions.php files to add in menu restrictions.  The changes in functions.php is often overwritten by a theme update.  This plugin removes that worry, as you can update the theme, independent of the plugin.</p>
<h4>Please Note</h4>
<p>This plugin uses a modified version of the Nav Menu Walker class.  This means any other plugins that utilize their own custom Nav Menu Walker class, can and will conflict with this plugin.  WordPress developers have support for proper custom hooks in this area of the Admin Menu slated for v4.8 release.  Please see FAQ item “I cannot see the options for Privilege Menu under menu items in the Admin Panel?” for more information.</p>


Privilege Menu

This plugin allows you to display menu items based on if a user is logged in, logged out or based on the role you have given the user.
