WordPress muestra el mismo menú de navegación para todo el mundo. Sin embargo, es posible que desee personalizar el menú en función de si un usuario está conectado o no.
Mostrar menús diferentes a los usuarios conectados en WordPress es una forma estupenda de crear una experiencia más personalizada. Permite mostrar contenido relevante solo a los que están conectados, como detalles de la cuenta o recursos exclusivos.
En esta guía, explicaremos cómo establecer diferentes menús para los usuarios conectados utilizando 2 métodos.
¿Por qué mostrar diferentes menús a los usuarios conectados en WordPress?
Cambiar las diferentes áreas de su sitio web WordPress en función de sus visitantes y su actividad hace que su sitio se sienta personalizado para cada usuario.
Este contenido personalizado le ayuda a mejorar la experiencia del usuario en su sitio web de WordPress.
Ahora bien, si gestiona un sitio web en el que los usuarios no necesitan registrarse ni acceder, probablemente pueda utilizar los mismos menús de navegación en todo su sitio web. Sin embargo, otros sitios web pueden beneficiarse enormemente de mostrar menús personalizados a los usuarios conectados.
Por ejemplo, sitios web como una tienda en línea, una plataforma de aprendizaje en línea o una comunidad de sitios de membresía en WordPress pueden beneficiarse de menús de navegación personalizados.
Un menú de navegación personalizado para los usuarios conectados les ayuda a encontrar más fácilmente las cosas para las que se registraron.
Por ejemplo, un usuario de una tienda online puede gestionar su cuenta, o un miembro de una comunidad de pago puede renovar fácilmente su suscripción o ver los cursos online exclusivos que ha comprado.
Por defecto, WordPress le permite crear tantos menús de navegación como desee. Sin embargo, solo puedes elegir mostrar un menú en una ubicación concreta de tu tema de WordPress.
Antes de establecer los menús para los usuarios conectados, tendrá que crear dos menús de navegación independientes. Uno será para los usuarios conectados y el otro para los desconectados. Vamos a los primeros pasos.
Una nota rápida. Los métodos que estamos compartiendo están diseñados para personas que utilizan temas clásicos de WordPress. Si está utilizando un tema en bloque con características de edición completa del sitio (FSE ) a partir de WordPress 5.8, es posible que este método no funcione.
Creación de menús para usuarios conectados y no conectados en WordPress
Para crear menús separados para los dos tipos de usuarios, deberá dirigirse a la página Apariencia ” Menús en el escritorio de WordPress.
Si ya tiene un menú de navegación que utiliza en su sitio web para todos los usuarios, éste puede ser su menú por defecto.
Después, puede enlazar el enlace “crear un nuevo menú” para crear un nuevo menú personalizado para sus usuarios conectados.
A continuación, añada los elementos / artículos del menú que desee mostrar a los usuarios registrados o conectados. Por ejemplo, es posible que desee añadir un enlace de cierre de sesión a su menú.
En la parte izquierda de la pantalla puede ver un anuncio / catálogo / páginas de su sitio web. Simplemente marque / compruebe la casilla siguiente a cualquier página que desee añadir a su menú y haga clic en el botón “Añadir al menú”.
También puede arrastrar y soltar los elementos del menú en la parte derecha de la pantalla para reorganizarlos.
Más abajo en la página, puede elegir una ubicación para mostrar su menú. Pero no necesitas asignar una ubicación a este menú ahora. Lo haremos más adelante en el artículo.
No olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar menú” para guardar los cambios.
Para más detalles sobre la creación de menús, eche un vistazo a nuestra guía para principiantes sobre los menús de navegación de WordPress.
Ahora ya puede mostrar diferentes menús a los usuarios conectados. Aquí tienes un resumen rápido de todos los métodos que veremos en esta guía:
Analicemos el primer método.
Método 1. Mostrar diferentes menús a los usuarios conectados en WordPress usando un plugin
La forma más fácil de mostrar diferentes menús a los usuarios conectados es utilizar el plugin de menús condicionales. Por lo tanto, vamos a instalarlo y activarlo primero.
Para más detalles, puede consultar nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Una vez activado, tendrás que ir a Apariencia ” Menús desde tu escritorio de WordPress. A continuación, vaya a la pestaña “Gestionar ubicaciones”.
Desde aquí, verá la lista de ubicaciones de menú disponibles definidas en su tema de WordPress y los menús que se muestran actualmente.
Por ejemplo, nuestro “Menú principal” muestra actualmente un “Menú principal”.
Ahora, necesitamos decirle al plugin que muestre un menú diferente cuando se cumpla cierta condición.
Para ello, vamos a enlazar el enlace ‘+ Menú Condicional’. A continuación, podemos seleccionar en el menú desplegable el menú de navegación que queremos mostrar a los usuarios conectados.
A continuación, enlaza el enlace “+ Condiciones”.
Aparecerá una ventana emergente en la que podrás elegir entre varias condiciones.
Sólo tiene que marcar la casilla situada junto a la opción “Usuario conectado” y, a continuación, hacer clic en el botón “Guardar”.
Ahora puede visitar su sitio web para ver en acción el menú del usuario conectado. También puede salir de su administrador / administración de WordPress para ver el menú de navegación que se mostrará a todos los demás usuarios.
Método 2. Seleccionar manualmente el menú de conectados en WordPress usando código
Este método requiere que añadas código a tu sitio web WordPress. Si no lo has hecho antes, echa un vistazo a nuestra guía sobre cómo copiar y pegar fragmentos de código en WordPress.
En general, es necesario añadir un fragmento de código al archivo functions. php del tema o a un plugin específico del sitio. Sin embargo, no recomendamos este método porque puede causar problemas / conflictos / incidencias en tu sitio web.
En su lugar, puede utilizar el plugin WPCode.
WPCode te permite añadir fragmentos de código personalizados a tu sitio sin necesidad de editar directamente los archivos del tema. También ayuda a gestionar estos fragmentos de código y garantiza que se ejecutan de forma segura, minimizando el riesgo de romper su sitio.
Para primeros pasos, vamos a instalar el plugin WPCode. Puedes usar la versión gratuita de WPCode, ya que tiene todo lo que necesitas para mostrar diferentes menús a los usuarios conectados.
Una vez instalado, deberá ir a Fragmentos de código “ + Añadir fragmentos.
Esto abrirá la galería de fragmentos de código de WPCode.
Desde aquí, puede hacer clic en el botón “+ Añadir fragmento de código personalizado”.
Entonces llegarás al editor de texto de WPCode.
El siguiente paso es añadir un título al fragmento de código y elegir “Fragmento HTML” en el menú desplegable “Tipo de código”.
Una vez hecho esto, sólo tiene que copiar y pegar el siguiente código en el campo “Vista previa del código”:
function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = '' ) {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
// Logged in menu to display
$args['menu'] = 43;
} else {
// Non-logged-in menu to display
$args['menu'] = 35;
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args' );
Así es como se vería en tu editor de WPCode:
Asegúrese de sustituir 43 y 35 por los ID de los menús de navegación que creó anteriormente.
Puede encontrar el ID de un menú de navegación seleccionándolo en la página “Menús”. Verá el número de identificación del menú en la barra de direcciones de su navegador.
Una vez que se haya asegurado de que todos los datos son correctos, siga adelante y haga clic en el botón azul “Guardar fragmento de código”.
Y ya está. Esperamos que este artículo te haya ayudado a aprender cómo mostrar fácilmente diferentes menús de navegación a los usuarios conectados en WordPress. A continuación, puede que también quieras ver nuestra guía sobre cómo permitir a los usuarios invitar a sus amigos a registrarse en WordPress y cómo dar estilo a los menús de navegación de WordPress.

Would be much easier if you could do it for a specific menu item rather than an entire menu. What would someone with 499 menu items have to do?
WPBeginner Support says
We would not recommend that many menu items as that would be far too many for someone to navigate through which would likely cause an SEO issue if your menu links don’t add value for your visitors

this is so helpful, but is there a way to display a username and avatar which can act as a container of other profile menu items, as a drop-down menu?
Amarnadh says
The path you showed is well and good only for just showing custom menus. But what if i want to show my content to a specific logged in user based on his interests. That is in detail, like various deals sites, when we login and save our interests, the next moment we see deals only on that specific topic. Can we make that possible using WordPress plugins.
Sam says
Hey there, thanks for the great work. I have a question about multiple user roles.
So I have two main menus, Menu 1 and Menu 2.
I would like all users (logged in or out) to see the main menu unless they have the userole of “Alt”, in which case Menu 1 is replaced by Menu 2.
How would I go about doing that?
Tendai Mugoni says
It is working, thanks
Curtis says
@ERICLEE You can create a child theme to prevent that from happening. I just added this code and need to do the same thing.

Yuda says
How can the same be achieeved on a multi-language members site? For example show different menu for users logged in in english and a different menu for users logged in with german?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Yuda,
If you are using a multilingual WordPress plugin then this should be handled by the plugin. You will essentially need to provide translations for your multilingual menus.

Hello,
This totally works!
But it change my footer menu too.. is there a way where my footer manu stay the same?
Tarron Acuff says
So, I have 2 menus. One for the public and another that I would like employees to see when they are logged in. The employee menu would replace the main menu only when an employee is logged in.
Here is what I am currently using in my functions.php file
// Set the Role as a body class
function add_role_to_body( $classes ) {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_roles = $user->roles;
foreach( $user_roles as $role ) {
$classes[] = ‘role-‘ . $role;
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter( ‘body_class’, ‘add_role_to_body’ );
***Here is what I added for CSS***
/* First hide the menu items for non “employee” user */
#top-menu li.menu-for-employee {
display: none;
}
/* Show the menu items for the “employee” user */
.role-employee #top-menu li.menu-for-employee {
display: initial;
}
When I log in as an employee both menus are showing.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
I nice tutorial but i was wondering could you use the same approach to replace a responsive menu at a certain screen size?
I have two menus but would rather have just one responsive menu at 768 px by replacing the menu with another.
Thanks
Pet says
Awesome job with your guides. I am building my first wordpress site and I am finding your site incredibly helpful in guiding me along, thank you.
I really wanted to show different menus for logged in users (like ‘edit profile’) and for logged out users and that brought me here. The code you shared works alright for me. I now have two menus which are showing up nice. However, the last part of the code, add filter string, I believe, is messing me up a little bit. Now, another menu is showing under the sidebar widget. The ‘logged-in’ menu. I am using sydney theme and I have tried to no avail to remove this unnecessary menu. Any idea on how I can make it not display?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Pet,
Please check Appearance » Widgets page to see if you have a custom menu added as a widget there. If it is there then you can just delete that widget.

When you modify the functions.php like so- wouldn’t it get wiped when you upgrade your WP next version ?
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, it will get wiped out when you update your theme. To prevent this you can create a site-specific plugin.

If I want to hide a page from logged out user from a single menu what have to do?
Kasper says
You can lock pages to hide them from logged out users. There are several plugins that make this very easy to do. Users Ultra comes to mind.

Everything worked perfectly.
However, I still have the issue of a repeated primary menu in the secondary navigation menu section which I can’t seem to remove (I don’t have a secondary menu set up).
Vince says
I’m having the exact issue. The change reflects in the secondary menu location out of nowhere and I too don’t have a secondary menu setup. :/ Please advice how to deal with it.
Thanks in advance.
Chiranjeevi Vinodkumar says
LISTEN!!!
Most of us, uses themes.
So first go to the functions.php of your theme.
Search with navigation as keyword.
In case of Shopkeeper theme..
==================================================================
register_nav_menus( array(
‘top-bar-navigation’ => __( ‘Top Bar Navigation’, ‘shopkeeper’ ),
‘main-navigation’ => __( ‘Main Navigation’, ‘shopkeeper’ ),
‘footer-navigation’ => __( ‘Footer Navigation’, ‘shopkeeper’ ),
===================================================================
This is how you look.. so pick the one which is primary, In my case, Its “Top Bar Navigation” hence used “top-bar-navigation”
I used the following code and worked like a charm!!!
This is my way of thanking the author.
Good day !!
Ann Novakowski says
Here’s what worked for me with WP . I used this to create a specific primary menu for logged-in Buddypress users. It will NOT affect my footer menu OR social media menu for any visitors, so everyone sees the same secondary menus regardless of whether they’re logged in or not. This is based on all of the comments above (HT to Fransiska!).
Added the following to my Child Theme’s functions.php file:
// CHANGE MAIN MENU =ONLY= IF MEMBER IS LOGGED IN
function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = ” ) {
if ($args[‘theme_location’] == ‘primary’) {
if( is_user_logged_in()) {
$args[‘menu’] = ‘logged-in’;
}else{
$args[‘menu’] = ‘logged-out’;
}
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_args’, ‘my_wp_nav_menu_args’ );

Matthias Campbell says
Hello,
I added this code (probably wrongly) in my functions.php within my theme in wordpress editor and now I have a constant 500 server error. Even after removing the code.
Before this i attempted to create a site specific plugin but that didnt work. Could you please tell me if the snippet requires an opening and closing bracket?
If so how do i do that?
My host cant help me now and they’re requesting I pay a programmer to help me for 50Eu per hour. Please help me. Its urgent.
I am still logged into wordpress but what ever I click I get the 500 error with this specific error.
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in line 1194.
This is because I pasted the snippet after all the text in the functions.php file.
I then removed the snippet to see if that would fix it, via editor and FTP and I still get the error.
I look forward to hearing your response.
Kind regards
WPBeginner Support says
It depends on where you are adding the code. If there is a closing PHP tag before it then you need to add a php start tag like <?php
If this code is the last thing in the functions file then you don’t need to add a closing tag.

If you have multiple menu locations and want to apply different menus for each location you can use the code bellow:
function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = ” ) {
// Primary menu location
if( ‘primary-main’ == $args[‘theme_location’] ) {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$args[‘menu’] = ‘Primary-Logged-In’;
} else {
$args[‘menu’] = ‘Primary-Logged-Out’;
}
return $args;
}
// Secondary menu location
if( ‘secondary-menu’ == $args[‘theme_location’] ) {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$args[‘menu’] = ‘Secondary-Logged-In’;
} else {
$args[‘menu’] = ‘Secondary-Logged-Out’;
}
return $args;
}
}
add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_args’, ‘my_wp_nav_menu_args’ );

This does not work, anyone that does know the proper code if you have 2 or more menus?

Perfect bro .Its work …. awesome work

This was almost too easy!
Thanks alot for the simple article.
In this way I don’t have to install any plugin..

I think it is better to use IF MENU plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/if-menu/
Creating two separate menus like this, use has to create/update menu twice.
Chris says
Hi Gaurang,
I’m curious to know why you feel using the plugin is better, than coding the functions.php file? I was told a while ago to watch how many plugins are actually used for a wordpress site, and the code above seems simple enough; minus the having to monitor every time your theme updates….
Thanks,
Rub says
Great, how I can use it to show menu for logged user that have certain role?
Kit Johnson says
This worked so simply and neatly. I didn’t think it would be this easy. Thank you!

this is awesome tried it. works. but i also would like to redirect by role
is that simple or much harder

thnkx for the help.. but what if i want to show different users different posts on my site.. is there any way to do that using coding??
WPBeginner Staff says
Under Appearance > Menus you need to choose a location for your menu. Seems like there are two areas on your site where you can add menus. So you need to create two different menus and then assign a location to them.
Heather Gile says
what would the revised code for this be, if there was a distinction of ‘Primary’ and ‘Top’?
$args[‘primary-menu’] = ‘logged-in’;
$args[‘top-menu’] = ‘logged-in’;
else
$args[‘primary-menu’] = ‘logged-out’;
$args[‘top-menu’] = ‘logged-out’;

WordPress will not let me put 2 menus in my “top header” location. The code you provided works, but it changed ALL of my menus to the logged in or out, and is not displaying my normal nav menu

I have a top menu as well as a site menu (under logo). How would I change the code to switch just that top menu. Right now, ALL my menus change.
