Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about User Menus – Nav Menu Visibility

To setup the plugin, go to /wp-admin/ > Appearance > Menus. Add a menu item or choose an existing one to edit the User Menus settings. To see the User Menus settings, expand the menu item that you chose in the Menu structure panel. Select Everyone, Logged Out Users, or Logged In Users from the Who can see this link? dropdown. Logged In Users: The Choose which roles can see this link radio button is selected by default. If no roles are selected, all roles can see the menu item by default. Once a role is checked, then only checked roles can see the menu item. Logged In Users: The Choose which roles won't see this link radio button is not selected by default. If no roles are selected, all roles still have visibility to the menu item by default. Once a role is checked, then only checked roles won't see the menu item. To show a logged in user’s information in a menu item, make a menu item only visible to logged in users. Click the grey arrow button to add a user tag (username, first_name, last_name, nickname, display_name, email) to the menu item label. To add a login or logout link to your menu, expand the User Links under the Add menu items panel, check Login or Logout, then click Add to Menu.
If you get stuck, you can ask for help in the User Menu Plugin Forum.
Bugs can be reported either in our support forum or preferably on the User Menu GitHub repository.
