How to change the Top Navigation - 2 versions WordPress

SOLVED

<strong>Hi
From th Attached picture you can see my current top navigation. I am looking to have an "inside" and an "outside" to my site i.e. I want a member area that people log-into. however how do I completely change the top navigation on the inside – members content without changing the outside current navigation across the top?

I.e. the top navigation goes to the side bar and I can have a whole new members menu in the members part of the site that is protected content</strong>

The answer from Karma Customer service: Unfortunately the Karma theme does not have this functionality and requires pretty extensive customization.
We are unfortunately not available for customization work at this time. If you’re interested in hiring a programmer to help out with the customizations, we highly recommend to check out WPQuestions. It’s a great website that enables you to hire a WordPress Expert for all of your coding needs. It’s super fast, reliable and very affordable.

<strong>So can someone help me with this?</strong>
Thanks

Hi Bookinars,

As Alistair said, you can also difference between roles.

If you want this:

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { $userRole = ($current_user->data->wp_capabilities); $role = key($userRole); unset($userRole); $edit_anchr = ''; switch($role) { case 'administrator': // here the code for administrator break; case 'editor': // here the code for editor break; case 'contributor': // here the code for contributor break; case 'author': // // here the code for author break; } } else { //here the code for non logged-in }

If you need more information about top navigation menu in WordPress, tell me. Try to see in which file is displayed "Member access" and then use this code, and create a bar for each case you need.

An example of bar:

<div id="navbar"> <div id="navbarleft"> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li> <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2&sort_column=menu_order'); ?> </ul> </div> <div id="navbarright"> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a></li> </ul> </div>

If you need more help, ask.

Hi Bookinars,

Seems function <em>theme_generator('menu')</em> is where the menu is generated.

If you could post it here, I can suggest want can be done.

Else you could PM with the FTP details so I can have a direct look into it.

Regards,
Gabriel

Gabriel Reguly comments:

Hi Bookinars,

Thanks for site access. I did a bit of work already.

Please check the site and tell me more about the correct placement of the menus.

Gabriel

Pixel Coder answers:

Hi, You'd be looking to utilise the

is_user_logged_in();

Function available in WordPress, and perform a little bit of conditional logic to show the correct navigation in each area.

It would run something like this...

<div class="header"> <?php if(!is_user_logged_in()) : ?> <a href="#" id="toggle-login-form">Members access</a> <?php else : ?> <ul class="loggedin-nav"> <li><a href="link-to-private-page">Private page</a> </ul> </div>

You would then look to modify your other WordPress theme files that display content you require hidden until logged in accordingly.

Depending on the member type e.g. Admin, Editor, Author, Subscriber you can perform deeper levels of authentication on a per role basis.

Hope that helps.

Hello Bookinars,

At your header.php, I see this line

<blockquote><?php theme_generator('menu');?> </blockquote>

This line is responsible for calling the main navigation menu. so if you want to have different menu between members and non members, you just replace it with this. But first you have to create two navigation menu in your
Appearance->Menus..

I assume you create "member menu name" and "non member menu name";

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
//for members menu
wp_nav_menu('menu'=>'member menu name' );
} else {
//for non-members menu
wp_nav_menu('menu'=>'non member menu name' );
}
?>

try this and tell me if it helps.
