    Is it possible to display menu items by taxonomy (category or tag)?

    If it’s not in the present plugin, any advice on how to add it via code?

    Hi @mobetman2,

    User Menus uses user roles to enforce display rules of menu items.

    It’s currently not possible to display menus by taxonomy.

    You may send us a message at Contact – Code Atlantic to request this feature in the future. However, it would still be subject to considerations depending on how complicated it is to implement.

    We appreciate your understanding! ??

    Let us know if you have other questions. ??

    Thank for the reply, @kimmyx, I’ll follow your advice.

    However, for clarity and anyone reading this in the future, I don’t think I clearly explained what I was asking.

    I’m interested in filtering the menu items by user AND taxonomy (category or tags), not just taxonomy alone. Please note that adding taxonomies to users is possible and quite easy. Several plugins do this (ACF is one example), and users can also do this through a code snippet.

    For example, it could be very useful to filter nav menu items so members (users) in the Marketing group (taxonomy) see different nav items from someone in the Finance group. The same would be true if you had different groups/teams within the Marketing group.

    I ask because there are many cases where it’s better to use a taxonomy than create a new user role. For example, you might have an onboarding process for new team members. You may want them in the same role as others for numerous reasons but need to temporarily segment them from the other users with the same role.

    Again, I will follow your advice and reach out to the developers.
