[Resolved] Search in Menu Bar for logged in users only?

[Michael]

Hi,

The search bar in the navigation is perfect, but is there a way I can only display it to logged in users?

Reason being it has been used for spam searches, and that counts towards my allowance of the facility. So I only want it displayed for members.

Thanks for any help

Hi Michael,

Try this function:

add_action( 'wp', 'tu_disable_guest_nav_search' );
function tu_disable_guest_nav_search() {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        remove_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'generate_menu_search_icon', 10, 2 );
        remove_action( 'generate_inside_navigation', 'generate_navigation_search' );
    }
}

Let me know 🙂
