[Support request] How to REPLACE the primary menu for logged in users

[Wesley]

Hi, I have a problem that I’ve tried for hours to resolve by reading different posts here, but I’m still at a loss.

For logged in users, I’m looking to complete replace the main header navigation.

Here is a video with more detail:

Hope you can help.

Thanks

Hi there,

instead of hooking in the secondary navigation and dealing with a whole bunch of different HTML and Customizer settings as well as GP hooks, the simplest option maybe to swap the Menus using this PHP Snippet:

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

Sorry if this is a dumb question, David.

Can you clarify where I place that PHP snippet?

Thanks,
Wesley

Sorry – i should have provided this doc, which explains:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

TLDR:
Are you using a Child Theme?
If Yes, then you can add the snippet to your child theme functions.php file
If No, then use the Code Snippets plugin ( link in the above doc ) and add it to a New Snippet.

Awesome. It works.

I’m eternally grateful, David.

Have a great week.
