About Easy Menu Manager
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
Easy Menu Manager provides a seamless way to manage your WordPress navigation menus by restricting menu items to specific user roles. With this plugin, you can easily control which menu items are visible to different users, such as logged-in users, logged-out users, or specific roles like ‘Administrator’, ‘Editor’, or ‘Subscriber’.
This is particularly useful for membership sites, e-commerce stores, or any WordPress site that has different user roles with different levels of access to content.
The plugin integrates a user-friendly multi-select dropdown into the WordPress menu editor, allowing you to select one or more user roles for each menu item. If no roles are selected, the menu item will be visible to all users.
Features
- Restrict Menu Item by User Role: Easily show or hide menu items based on user roles.
- Multiple Role Support: Assign multiple user roles to a single menu item.
- Simple User Interface: A simple multi-select dropdown is added to each menu item in the menu editor.
- Lightweight and Efficient: The plugin is lightweight and does not affect your site’s performance.
- Seamless Integration: Integrates seamlessly with the WordPress menu management system.
- Developer Friendly: The plugin is built with developers in mind, with proper hooks and filters.
