Nav Menu Roles: Breakdown
The Nav Menu Roles plugin gives WordPress users flexibility and control over who sees what on their WordPress website. With Nav Menu Roles, users can specify which navigation menus and menu items should be visible to visitors, logged-in users, or users with specific roles. Each navigation menu or menu item can have its own set of roles, so admins can create customized menus with a few clicks. The plugin also supports managing multiple WordPress sites from a single Dashboard, allowing admins to give different roles access to certain menus across different sites.
Visibility of certain menus and menu items to different users can be managed at both the navigation menu level, and then more finely at the individual menu-item level. This makes it convenient for admins to make changes without having to go through all the menus and menu items on the WordPress website. Admins can also select specific target users and roles when setting up additional navigation items. This allows the admins to specify the exact group of users that they want to have access to a certain menu item, regardless of the user role.
The plugin also features a user-friendly interface that is easy to understand. The Menu Editor allows admins to quickly add, delete or reorder menu items with just a few clicks. The Plugin Options page offers additional settings for adjusting the plugin. From here, admins can manage the permissions for navigation menus, as well as configure the restrictions on viewing specific menu items. There is also a powerful set of security options that can be configured to further secure the navigation menus. These security settings can be customized to restrict access to certain menus and menu items, based on user roles.
Admins can also set a dependency on other menus and menu items for each item on the navigation menu. This is particularly useful when complex navigation menus need to be organized in a controlled and hierarchical manner. It can also be used to restrict access to certain menus and menu items based on the presence of other navigation menus or menu items. This is a useful way to create menu hierarchies and make sure that users only see the navigation menus or menu items that have been assigned to them.
