[Support request] Different main menu for logged in users

[Michael]

Hello,
I wish to use a different main menu for logged in users.

adding this snippet works but it also changes my other navigation menus.

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', function( $args ) {
        if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
            $args['menu'] = 'Main2';
        } else {
            $args['menu'] = 'Main';
        }
    return $args;
} );

I’m trying to avoid using a plugin

thanks!

Hi there,

you can set a condition for the Theme Location , for example this would apply to the Primary Nav:

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', function ( $args ) {
    if ( 'primary' === $args['theme_location'] ) {
        if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
            $args['menu'] = 'Main2';
        } else {
            $args['menu'] = 'Main';
        }
    }
    return $args;
} );

That did the trick! thanks, David.

I also plan to do the same for the Off Canvas Menu. Could you tell me how to target that as well?

[David]

The off canvas panel has a theme location of: slideout so this condition:

if ( 'primary' === $args['theme_location'] ) {

becomes:

if ( 'slideout' === $args['theme_location'] ) {

[Michael]

That worked. thanks!

Glad to be of help
