Alternate Menu for members – part 2

Hello Christian, I guess I forgot to click on the notify by email for your reply to: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/alternate-menu-for-members/

Could you please explain how I can add this to my navigation bar.

For example: http://www.motion-master-templates.com, when the member is logged in, I would like the “Membership” navigation button to gone since they will not need it anymore.

Let me know if this is possible. I saw the code, thank you, but I am a very much a novice, so I am clueless on where to start.

Thank you very much for your time.

Have an awesome day!

p.s. I click on the notify me via email button. :)

Hello Deyson,

There are a few things you need to do to achieve this.
You will need two different menus so first we need to register support for two menus in your functions.php file.
Depending on the theme your using you will have some code like the following:

// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
	register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu' ) );

you will need to add or replace with

register_nav_menu( 'logged-in-menu', __( 'logged-in-menu') );
register_nav_menu( 'logged-out-menu', __( 'logged-out-menu') );

then in your header.php file replace

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

with

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'logged-in-menu' ) );
} else {
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'logged-out-menu' ) );
}
?>

Then in wordpress admin appearance > menus, you should see that under theme locations you have support for two or more menus. Now you can create a menu for logged in users and one for users that are not and apply them to the relevant drop down menus under theme locations.

I’m assuming a few things here so if your theme does not work in this way I can talk you through an alternative or if anything I have said don’t make sense let me know and I will try and explain better.
