   I have a frontpage which shows a different category of posts depending on whether a user is logged in or not.

   using the following code in pre_get_posts()

   function lg_set_category_filter($wp_query) {
   	if(is_front_page()) {
   		if (is_user_logged_in()) {
   			$wp_query->set('cat','6');
   		}
   		else {
   			$wp_query->set('cat','5');
   		}
   	}
   
    }

   Now, if I also display a custom menu widget on that page the menu is empty. It seems the query set is interfering with the custom menu widget.

   How can I stop it removing custom menu entries?

   think we need to check for is_main_query.... (my syntax may be off... copied that from my own template)

   if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_front_page() ) {

   EDIT: here's a better explanation than I could give... had to find the link!
