If Menu is a plugin that gives you options to show or hide a specific menu according to conditions. For instance, the menu output can be changed according to the login or log on status.

If Menu Control determines which menu items visitors to your site see based on visibility rules. Listed below are a few examples:

• Just display a menu item if the user is logged in.
• If the device is mobile, hide menu items.
• Admins and Editors can see the menu items that are available to them.
• Hide the Login and Register buttons for Users who have logged in
• Users from the United States and the United Kingdom can see different menu items.
• Customers with active memberships can only see menu items.
• Show menu items for tourists who are browsing in English or Spanish.

The plugin is simple to use; each menu item will have a new option called “Change menu item visibility,” which allows you to choose from a number of different visibility rules (example in Screenshots).

How to Start Controlling the Navigation?

After you downloaded the plugin, you can just simply activate the plug-in and that’s going to give you some new options to work with when you create menus. After you activate that and jump back into the plugins section you have got some set that you can configure if you want to. You can also access those if you can all to appearance. You can see that you have got a new option called “if menu”.

You click on it and you will see that it will take you over and you can see what you do have the option for the free version or you can go through and you can pay for the premium version which gives you some more options.

So, this is how you use If Menu. It’s very easy. If you jump over to a menu section, click “Appearance” that would take you over and it would show you all the menus that you have on your website.

So, what you can do is you are able to come into any of those menus, you can start to apply conditions to them. For example, you have a page on your website called “Apple”, you only want people that are logged in to access the Apple section. What you can do is you can expand it out (click the “Apple”) after that, you can have an option now that says “Enable Visibility Rules”.

If you click on that, it would open up a second option and you can start setting the different parameters that need to be met to show this particular menu item.

Before you apply any rules, you must remember that it’s only going to be available to logged in users. You can click expand and you can see that you have got all the different options that allow you to control the visibility. You’re not restricted to just using one, you can actually stack them on top of each other so that you can build more complex rules. If you wanted to set this to hide, you can easily choose the “Hide” option and set that to be hidden. If you want to add an additional option you can simply click the plus and then you can see it or you can create conditional logic on top of everything else.
