Hide Menu Items by Role lets you decide who sees each link in your WordPress navigation, item by item, without building a separate menu for every audience. Open Appearance > Menus, edit a menu item, and choose which user roles should see it and whether it belongs to logged-in users, logged-out visitors, or everyone.

It is a small, focused tool for client sites, membership and community sites, WooCommerce stores, and any site where guests and registered users need different navigation.

What you can do

Show a menu item to everyone, ignoring role rules (“Show to all roles”, the default)
Hide a menu item from the user roles you select
Show a menu item only to the user roles you select
Restrict items by user status: everyone, logged-in users only, or logged-out visitors only
Combine role and user-status rules on the same item
Tick as many roles as you need, including custom roles registered by other plugins

Why it stays out of the way

No settings page to learn, because the options live in the menu item editor right where you need them
No extra database tables, as every setting is stored as standard menu item meta
Filtering runs through WordPress core menu filters, so no frontend JavaScript or CSS is added to your site
Role checkboxes are disabled whenever a rule does not apply, which makes the panel hard to misconfigure by accident
