    Hello, I’m wondering if there is a way I can hide or display a menu item based on a user’s role.

    I know I can show or hide the entire menu by role, but this function seems to override other plugins that can do what I want.

    For example I have a dropdown menu and I want to display certain links to users of a certain role, and hide them to everyone else.

    Yes, if you look at the User Guide (available from the dashboard) you should see how it works and how you can achieve this.

    In short, if you want that a dropdown menu has different items depending on the user role, you will create different NavMenus, attach them to the same location, and set their display based on roles. Or if it’s easier in maintenance, you could have one main menu for all, and smaller menus containing specific items for some roles, that will be appended to the main one.

    Oh thanks, that makes sense, didn’t even think to just duplicate the menu and change 1 or 2 things for each role.

    I really appreciate your help! This is one of the best plugins I’ve used for WP
