# (Plugin: Role Scoper) Navigation Menus Question

 * I am at the point of having a few navigation menus: General Public, Pages, and
   Subscribers. These menus have different pages or categories assigned to them.
 * I then have three sidebars that each contain a navigation menu. The idea is that
   the general public user (not logged in) could see the names of the three sidebars,
   but only content for the general public one as the other two would not allow 
   someone who is not a subscriber or higher to access it.
 * I could be confused here, but I am about to restrict access subscribers and above
   from viewing the content. I am not able to make two non public navigation menus
   suppressed from the general public.
 * Example:
    General Public user views the site they can see in the sidebar, but
   this is how a subscriber or above should see it: **Public Forum** -General Information
   Forum
 * **Members Forum**
    -Meeting -Luncheons -Special Events -Personal Growth Groups
 * **Pages**
    -Board of Directors -Governance Documents _____________________________________
   I only want the general public to see: **Public Forum** -General Information 
   Forum
 * **Members Forum**
 * **Pages**
    ____________________________________ Any ideas on how to do this?

 * I found the answer, but it could be my theme which is stopping the Navigation
   Menu Role Scoper permissions from working or it is broken.
 * To remove the pages from the Pages sidebar to the general public:
    Part 1. Roles
   > Pages > Check all groups > Check the Page Reader Role on all pages to be hidden
   from the general public > Click update (this just adds the groups to the pages
   nothing else)
 * Part 2. Restrictions > Pages > Check the Page Reader Role on all pages to be 
   hidden from the general public > Click update
    (this no applies a restriction
   so that the groups in step 1 are the only ones allowed to read the pages)
 * The same process is for the posts and categories. This is apparently how Role
   Scoper is supposed to work and it took a while for this to click (my mental issues
   I guess).
 * The funny thing is that I use the Unite theme and when trying to apply the Navigation
   Menu groups (like part 1.) and the restrictions (like part 2.) the opposite result
   occurred. The general public could view all Navigation Menus and the subscriber
   or higher roles could not see the Navigation Menus.
 * That was mind boggling and made me start all over as I thought I was totally 
   wrong on the use of Role Scoper.
 * I hope this helps a novice user in the future.
