Menu visibility

Show menu items only to logged-in users, logged-out visitors or chosen roles.

Note

This is part of Roleline Pro.

With a classic theme's menus (Appearance → Menus), every menu item gets a Show to setting:

  1. Open the menu and expand an item.
  2. Under Show to, choose Everyone, Logged-in users, Logged-out visitors only, or Only these roles (and tick them).
  3. Click Save Menu.

On the site, hidden items are left out of the menu, and so is every item under them. For example, a "Members" item for logged-in users can hold the members' pages, and a "Log in" item can be for visitors only.

Block themes

Block themes build menus with the Navigation block instead of Appearance → Menus. There, select a link in the Navigation block and use its Visibility panel: see Block visibility.

Good to know

  • Hiding a menu item doesn't protect the page it links to. Restrict the page itself (see Content access).
  • The Customizer's menu panel doesn't show the setting; use Appearance → Menus.
  • Settings are stored as the menu item's _roleline_pro_visibility meta.
