You can show or hide each item based on three conditions: * Login status (logged in / logged out / everyone) * Date range (start datetime, end datetime) * User roles (administrator, editor, author, contributor, subscriber, or custom roles) All conditions are optional and combined with AND logic. This plugin reads the current user’s role information via `wp_get_current_user()` to evaluate role-based conditions. #### Three ways to use 1. **Standard menus** — Open Appearance Menus, expand any item, and set the conditions inline. 2. **Hand-coded themes** — Use the helper function `shedmenu_visible()` in your `header. php` or other template files. 3. **Block editor** — Wrap any blocks in the “Shed Menu — Conditional” block to show/ hide them based on the same conditions. #### Helper function example ``` 'in' ] ) ) : ?>
  • My Page
    • ``` #### Shortcode example ``` [shedmenu_visible login="in" start="2026-04-01" end="2026-04-30" roles="administrator"] This content is only visible to administrators between April 1 and April 30. [/shedmenu_visible] ``` #### 日本語の説明 WordPress 標準ナビゲーションメニューに、メニュー項目単位の表示条件を追加します。 * ログイン状態（ログイン中 / ログアウト中 / 全員） * 表示期間（開始日時・終了日時） * ユーザーロール（管理者 / 編集者 / 投稿者 等） 全ての条件は任意で、AND 条件で組み合わされます。 外観 メニュー画面で各項目に条件を設定できます。テーマで `wp_nav_menu()` を使わず HTML 直書きしている場合は `shedmenu_visible()` ヘルパー関数を使ってください。Gutenberg では「Shed Menu — Conditional」ブロックで任意のブロック群を条件表示にできます。 ### Third-Party Services This plugin does not connect to any external services. All processing happens on your own server. ## Screenshots * [[ * Visibility fields added to each menu item in Appearance Menus. * [[ * The Conditional block in the Gutenberg editor with sidebar settings. * [[ * Plugin settings screen (Settings Shed Menu). ## Installation 1. Upload the `shed-menu` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install via the Plugins screen in WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen. 3. Go to Appearance Menus, expand any menu item, and configure visibility conditions. ## FAQ ### Does this work with caching plugins? Login-based visibility is evaluated per request. If you use a page caching plugin, make sure it serves separate cached pages for logged-in vs logged-out users. Most caching plugins support this by default. ### Does this conflict with other menu plugins? Shed Menu uses the standard `wp_nav_menu_objects` filter and does not override menu rendering. It works alongside most menu plugins. ### Why doesn’t the date condition work in the Navigation block (block theme)? The Navigation block uses its own internal item structure that does not expose per- item post meta in a stable way. Use the “Shed Menu — Conditional” block to wrap navigation links instead. ### What happens to my settings when I uninstall? Uninstalling removes all visibility settings stored on menu items and plugin options. Deactivating without uninstalling preserves all settings. ### Can I use custom roles? Yes. The Roles field in the menu item editor lists all roles registered in your WordPress installation, including custom roles added by other plugins. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Shed Menu” is open source software.
