If Menu – Visibility control for Menus

One of the most popular uses of the plugin is to show the “Register/Login” menu for non-logged-in users, and “Your account” for logged-in users.

To enable this for “Register/Login” menu, follow these steps:

1. Go to WordPress Admin on your website -> Appearance -> Menus

2. Expand the menu item for “Register” or “Login” page

3. Enable the option “Enable visibility rules”

Multiple visibility rules can be used at once, like so:

For showing a menu item only for admins on desktop:

1. Go to WordPress Admin on your website -> Appearance -> Menus

2. Expand the menu item you want

3. Enable the option “Enable visibility rules”

4. Choose the rule “Show if user is Administrator”

5. Click the “+” button at the end of the visibility rule, and change to “AND”

There’s a known limitation with adding functionality for menu items in WordPress, and conflicts may happen between some plugins and themes.

If there are multiple plugins that extend Menu Items, for example If Menu and a plugin for Menu Icons, only one of them can add the needed functionality and the other one won’t work as expected.

This problem may happen on sites with a large number of menu items.

In most cases, this is not a limitation or problem caused by plugins or WordPress, but by the hosting server.

Your hosting provider or server limits the amount of data that can be sent to WordPress for saving in database.

New rules can be added by any other plugin or theme.

Example of adding a new custom rule for displaying/hiding a menu item when current page is a custom-post-type.

// theme's functions.php or plugin file add_filter('if_menu_conditions', 'my_new_menu_conditions');

WordPress provides a lot of functions which can be used to create custom rules for almost any combination that a theme/plugin developer can think of.
