Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hide Menu Items by Role

Open Appearance > Menus and expand the menu item you want to edit. The Audience panel sits at the bottom of the item, where you can: Choose a user status: Everyone, Logged-out users only, or Logged-in users only Choose a role visibility mode: "Show to all roles" (default), "Hide for selected roles", or "Show only to selected roles" Tick the user roles the rule should apply to Save the menu when you are done.

"Show to all roles" (default): the item is visible to everyone. Role rules are ignored and the role checkboxes are disabled. "Hide for selected roles": the item is visible to everyone except the roles you tick. "Show only to selected roles": the item is visible only to the roles you tick.

The item stays visible to everyone. A role rule only takes effect once at least one role is ticked, which keeps menu items from disappearing while you are still setting them up. The Audience panel shows a short hint reminding you of this until you tick a role.

Yes. Tick as many roles as you need on the same menu item. "Hide for selected roles" hides the item from all of them, and "Show only to selected roles" allows all of them.

Yes. The role list is built from every role registered on the site, so roles added by membership, e-commerce, or other plugins appear alongside the WordPress defaults.

The user status setting works independently of role-based rules: Everyone: no restriction based on login status Logged-out users only: the item is only visible to visitors who are not logged in Logged-in users only: the item is only visible to users who are logged in With "Logged-out users only", the item is hidden from anyone who is logged in and shown to every visitor without an account. Role rules are skipped for those visitors, which is why the role fields are disabled in the editor.
