What the author says it does

User Menus is the perfect plugin for websites that have logged in users.

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)

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
