Volete mostrare menu diversi agli utenti loggati in WordPress?
Per impostazione predefinita, WordPress consente di mostrare lo stesso menu di navigazione in una posizione specifica del tema. Ma se voleste mostrare un menu diverso agli utenti che hanno effettuato l’accesso al vostro sito web?
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come mostrare facilmente diversi menu agli utenti loggati in WordPress.
Perché mostrare menu diversi agli utenti registrati in WordPress?
Modificando le diverse aree del sito WordPress in base ai visitatori e alle loro attività, il sito viene personalizzato per ogni utente.
Questi contenuti personalizzati aiutano a migliorare l’esperienza dell’utente sul vostro sito web WordPress.
Se gestite un sito web in cui gli utenti non devono registrarsi o accedere, potete probabilmente utilizzare gli stessi menu di navigazione in tutto il sito.
Tuttavia, altri siti web possono trarre grande beneficio dalla visualizzazione di menu personalizzati per gli utenti che hanno effettuato l’accesso.
Ad esempio, siti web come un negozio online, una community di siti associativi in WordPress o una piattaforma di apprendimento online possono beneficiare di menu di navigazione personalizzati.
Un menu di navigazione personalizzato per gli utenti che hanno effettuato il login li aiuta a trovare più facilmente le cose per cui si sono registrati.
Ad esempio, un utente di un negozio online può gestire il proprio account, o un membro di una community a pagamento può facilmente rinnovare il proprio abbonamento o visualizzare i corsi online acquistati.
Per impostazione predefinita, WordPress consente di creare tutti i menu di navigazione che si desidera. Tuttavia, è possibile scegliere di mostrare un solo menu in una determinata posizione del tema WordPress.
Detto questo, vediamo come modificare facilmente questo comportamento e mostrare menu diversi agli utenti loggati in WordPress.
- Mostrare menu diversi agli utenti registrati in WordPress utilizzando un plugin
- Selezionare manualmente il menu degli utenti registrati in WordPress usando il codice
Creazione di menu per utenti registrati e non registrati in WordPress
Indipendentemente dal metodo utilizzato, è necessario creare entrambi i menu di navigazione che si desidera mostrare agli utenti connessi e non connessi.
Basta andare alla pagina Aspetto ” Menu nella dashboard di WordPress. Se avete già un menu di navigazione che utilizzate sul vostro sito web per tutti gli utenti, questo può essere il vostro menu predefinito.
Successivamente, fare clic sul link “Crea un nuovo menu” per creare un nuovo menu personalizzato per gli utenti connessi.
Qui si possono aggiungere le voci di menu che si desidera mostrare agli utenti registrati o loggati. Ad esempio, si potrebbe aggiungere un link di logout al menu.
Sul lato sinistro dello schermo è presente un elenco delle pagine del sito web. È sufficiente selezionare la casella accanto alla pagina che si desidera aggiungere al menu e fare clic sul pulsante “Aggiungi al menu”.
È anche possibile trascinare e rilasciare le voci di menu sul lato destro dello schermo per riorganizzarle.
Più avanti nella pagina, è possibile scegliere una posizione per visualizzare il menu. Ma non è necessario assegnare una posizione a questo menu. Lo faremo più avanti nell’articolo.
Non dimenticate di fare clic sul pulsante “Salva menu” per memorizzare le modifiche.
Per maggiori dettagli sulla creazione di menu, date un’occhiata alla nostra guida per principianti sui menu di navigazione di WordPress.
Metodo 1. Mostrare menu diversi agli utenti registrati in WordPress utilizzando un plugin
Questo metodo è più semplice e consigliato a tutti gli utenti di WordPress.
Per prima cosa, è necessario installare e attivare il plugin Conditional Menus. Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra guida passo passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.
Dopo l’attivazione, è necessario visitare la pagina Aspetto ” Menu e passare alla scheda ‘Gestisci posizioni’.
Da qui si vedrà l’elenco delle posizioni di menu disponibili definite nel tema WordPress e i menu attualmente visualizzati.
Ad esempio, la posizione del menu primario mostra un menu di navigazione intitolato “Menu principale”.
Ora, dobbiamo dire al plugin di mostrare un menu diverso quando viene soddisfatta una determinata condizione.
A tal fine, fare clic sul link “+ Menu condizionale” e selezionare dal menu a discesa il menu di navigazione che si desidera mostrare agli utenti connessi.
Successivamente, è necessario fare clic sul link “+ Condizioni”.
Si aprirà una finestra a comparsa con una serie di condizioni tra cui scegliere.
È sufficiente selezionare la casella accanto all’opzione “Utente connesso”, quindi fare clic sul pulsante Salva.
Ora potete visitare il vostro sito web per vedere il menu dell’utente loggato in azione. Potete anche uscire dall’amministrazione di WordPress per visualizzare il menu di navigazione che sarà mostrato a tutti gli altri utenti.
Metodo 2. Selezionare manualmente il menu di accesso in WordPress usando il codice
Questo metodo richiede l’aggiunta di codice al vostro sito WordPress. Se non l’avete mai fatto prima, date un’occhiata alla nostra guida su come copiare e incollare snippet di codice in WordPress.
Per prima cosa, è necessario aggiungere il seguente codice al file functions.php del tema o a un plugin specifico del sito.
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' );
Assicurarsi di sostituire 43 e 35 con gli ID dei menu di navigazione creati in precedenza.
È possibile trovare l’ID di un menu di navigazione selezionandolo nella pagina Menu. Il numero ID del menu viene visualizzato nella barra degli indirizzi del browser.
Speriamo che questo articolo vi abbia aiutato a capire come mostrare facilmente diversi menu di navigazione agli utenti loggati in 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

Thank you!!
Bk Millanzi says
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.
Wasim says
its not working for me. It display default menu after I add this code, even my primary menu gone.
Joe says
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.

What genius! It worked! Thanks for the wonderful tip!!

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.
Zev says
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.

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’ );

Don’t know what happened why my comment, but –> ” <– these are correct!

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.

Hubert says
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’ );
Haji says
This does not work, anyone that does know the proper code if you have 2 or more menus?
Ravikant says
Perfect bro .Its work …. awesome work
Leopold says
This was almost too easy!
Thanks alot for the simple article.
In this way I don’t have to install any plugin..
Gaurang says
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!
Jason Sisson says
this is awesome tried it. works. but i also would like to redirect by role
is that simple or much harder
Ryan R. Bayne says
Thanks. Working with menu functions for the first time.

veer2412 says
how can i show different posts to different users??
veer2412 says
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’;
?
Kyle says
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
b2995 says
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.
