Hiding buddybar add-on menus when users are not logged in

    I have used code snippets from this site to add menu items to the buddybar (using bpcustom.php). They look great, but are visible to everyone, like the Login and Signup menu items. Does anyone know how I can hide these add-on menus when users are not logged in? (like My Account, Blogs, Notifications, etc.)

    Many thanks.

    You want to hide the entire BuddyBar when they’re not logged in, or only the items you’ve added in bp-custom.php?

    Just the custom items. I want the rest of the buddybar (Login, Signup, etc.) to be visible to non-logged in users.

    Use the normal WordPress function is_user_logged_in().

    Thanks; I am not sure how to use that function. Is there a site I can visit or another thread with the syntax and details?

    And it seems like I should add the function to my add-on menus. Is that correct?

    I actually linked to the function reference in my post above yours. :)

    That function is a WordPress function to check and see if the user browsing the site is logged in or not. It will return true if yes, false if no.

    if (if_user_logged_in())) {
    
[..your custom menu item code...]
    
}

    Oh! I didn’t know I could click on that.

    Thanks so much, JJJ.

    Okay, I read the codex on the function, but cannot seem to get the syntax right. This is the sample code from another buddypress thread:

    function my_help_link(){

    ?>

  • Help

    <ul class=”your-ul-list-css-classname”>

  • Help 1

    • <li class=”alt”>Help 2

  • Help 3

    • <li class=”alt”>Help 4

  • Help 5

    • <?php

    }

    add_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘my_help_link’, 14 );

    [Here with formatting: http://pastie.org/451047

    I cannot figure out where to add the if (is_user_logged_in()) {} function.

Try:

function my_help_link(){

if (is_user_logged_in()) {

?>

<li><a href="http://someplace.org">Help</a&gt;

<ul class="your-ul-list-css-classname">

<li><a href="http://someplace.org">Help 1</a></li>

<li class="alt"><a href="http://someplace.org">Help 2</a></li>

<li><a href="http://someplace.org">Help 3</a></li>

<li class="alt"><a href="http://someplace.org">Help 4</a></li>

<li><a href="http://someplace.org">Help 5</a></li>

</ul>

</li>

<?php

}

}

add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'my_help_link', 14 );
