Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>Delivering tailored navigation experiences can enhance user engagement and streamline app usage. Multiple Versions of App Menus allow you to customize your Learndash App\u2019s Tab Bar<\/strong> and More Menu<\/strong> based on login status, access group, membership level, course enrollment, or profile type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide walks you through setting up different menu versions for guests and logged-in users, styling your navigation, and prioritizing menus when a member qualifies for more than one.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Menu for Logged-Out Members<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To show a simple menu for guests (non-logged-in users):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to LearnDash App > Menus > Tab Bar<\/strong> (or More Menu<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Click Create a new menu<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Under Login Status<\/strong>, select Logged-out Members<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

              <\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Set Login Status<\/strong> to Logged-in Members<\/strong>.
              <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Under Access Group<\/strong>, select one or more relevant groups.
                <\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Click Create Menu<\/strong>.
                <\/li>\n\n\n\n

                Control how the Tab Bar looks across all menus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Go to Learndash App > Menus > Tab Bar<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Toggle Icon Labels<\/strong> to show or hide labels below icons.

                    • Outlined<\/strong>
                      <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Boxed<\/strong>
                      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                      \n
                      \"LearnDash<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Set Tab Bar Visibility<\/strong> to:
                        \n
                          \n
                        • Show on Tab Bar Menu<\/strong>
                          <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Show on All Screens<\/strong>
                          <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                          \n
                          \"Screenshot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                            \n
                          1. Click Save Settings<\/strong>.
                            <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            These style settings apply globally to all Tab Bars.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Styling the More Menu<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            Customize the look of the More Menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \n
                            1. Go to Learndash App > Menus > More Menu<\/strong>.
                              <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            2. Choose a More Menu Icon Style<\/strong>:
                              \n
                                \n
                              • Outlined<\/strong>
                                <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Boxed<\/strong>
                                <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Click Save Settings<\/strong>.
                                <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                These style settings also apply globally to all More Menus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Setting Menu Priority<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                When a member qualifies for multiple menus, Learndash App uses your menu priority to decide which one to show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \n
                                1. Go to Learndash App > Menus > Menu Priority<\/strong>.
                                  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                2. Click Set Menu Priority<\/strong>.
                                  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                3. Drag and reorder the menus (highest priority goes to the top).
                                  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                4. Click Save Changes<\/strong>.
                                  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                  If a member belongs to multiple Access Groups, they\u2019ll see the highest-priority matching menu.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Troubleshooting and FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                  Q: My logged-out menu isn\u2019t appearing.<\/strong>
                                  <\/strong> A:<\/strong> Make sure Private App<\/strong> is disabled under Learndash App > Settings > General > Privacy<\/strong>. Logged-out menus won\u2019t load if this setting is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Q: A member in two groups sees the wrong menu.<\/strong>
                                  <\/strong> A:<\/strong> Reorder menus under Menu Priority<\/strong> and use Recalculate Members<\/strong> under Learndash App > Access Controls > Access Groups<\/strong> to ensure proper matching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Q: Style changes aren\u2019t reflecting.<\/strong>
                                  <\/strong> A:<\/strong> Force-close and reopen the app to clear the cache and fetch the latest menu settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Q: Can I style More Menus differently per group?<\/strong>
                                  <\/strong> A:<\/strong> Styles apply globally, but you can upload custom icons or manually adjust colors for each menu item for a personalized touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
