Menu Visibility Control is a lightweight, privacy-friendly WordPress plugin that lets you decide exactly who sees each menu item, directly inside the WordPress menu editor.
No settings pages.
No lock-in.
No performance overhead.
Everything is managed where it belongs: Appearance Menus.
👁️ Visibility Options Per Menu Item
You can control visibility based on:
- 👥 Everyone
- 🔒 Logged-in users
- 🚪 Logged-out users
- 🧩 Specific user roles (Administrator, Editor, Subscriber, etc.)
- 📱 Device type (Desktop / Tablet / Mobile)
- 📄 Specific pages (auto-detected list)
All conditions are optional and safely combined.
💡 Perfect For
- Membership and community websites
- Client dashboards and intranets
- Multi-role WordPress sites
- Sites with mobile-specific navigation
- Blogs that need different menus for visitors vs members

- Stores minimal metadata
- Is compatible with caching, multilingual sites, and block themes
