The plugin gives you more control over your nav menu by allowing you to apply visibility controls to menu items e.g., who can see each menu item (everyone, logged out users, logged in users, specific user roles). It also enables you to display logged in user information in the navigation menu e.g., “Hello, John Doe”. Lastly, the plugin allows you to add login, register, and logout links to your menu. #### Full Feature List User Menus allows you to do the following: * Display menu items to everyone * Display menu items to only logged out users * Display menu items to only logged in users * Display menu items to users with or without a specific user role. * Show a logged in user’s {avatar} in a menu item with a custom size option. * Show a logged in user’s {username} in a menu item * Show a logged in user’s {first_name} in a menu item * Show a logged in user’s {last_name} in a menu item * Show a logged in user’s {display_name} in a menu item * Show a logged in user’s nickname} in a menu item * Show a logged in user’s {email} in a menu item * Add a logout link to the menu (optional redirect settings) * Add a register link to the menu (optional redirect settings) * Add a login link to the menu (optional redirect settings) ** Includes a custom Menu Importer that will allow migrating User Menus data with the normal menu export/import. #### Created by Code Atlantic User Menus is built by the [Code Atlantic](https://code-atlantic.com) team.

If you need help getting started with User Menus, please see the [FAQs](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-menus/faq/) that explain how to use the plugin. ## FAQ ### How do I set up this plugin? * 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**. ### Where can I get support?
