This tutorial is an extension of those concepts to display different menus based not only on logged in status, but also a user’s role. Continue Reading →

Over in this post, I described a method of displaying different menus to users based on their login status by setting up your theme to display the different menus. But isn’t there an easier way that doesn’t involve theme edits?
Yes. And I’m glad you asked that question.
This method is even easier and simply requires you to drop the included code snippet into your theme’s functions.php file. You will need to update the variable names in the snippet to reflect your menu names.

In this example, I will show you how to display a different menu for users based on their login status for the WordPress TwentyTen theme. This process can be adapted to any theme (and using the same principles, could be adapted to use anywhere on your WP site).
Note: There is an alternate (and easier) method of doing this posted here. That post displays the method currently used on this site.
