Creating Multiple Menu Versions in MemberPress App

Customized navigation enhances user engagement by displaying relevant menu options based on member attributes. Multiple menu versions allow different navigation structures for logged-out guests, logged-in members, and specific Access Groups. This document explains how to create menu variations, configure menu styling, and manage menu priority when members qualify for multiple versions.

Understanding Multiple Menu Versions

Multiple menu versions enable personalized navigation experiences within the app. Each menu version displays to members meeting specific criteria, such as login status or Access Group membership. The Tab Bar provides primary navigation at the bottom of the screen, while the More Menu offers secondary navigation options. Both menu types support multiple versions tailored to different member segments.

Creating Menus for Logged-Out Members

Logged-out member menus display to guests who have not authenticated. These menus typically include login, registration, and public information options.

1. Vaya a Dashboard > MP App > Menus > Tab Bar o More Menu.
   
2. Haga clic en Create a new menu.

3. Enter a descriptive name in the Menu Name campo.

4. Seleccione Logged-out Members del Login Status desplegable.

5. Haga clic en Crear menú.
   
6. Haga clic en Añadir elementos de menú to select navigation options.

7. Drag menu items to arrange display order.
   
8. Haga clic en el botón Guardar menú.

Nota: Only one Tab Bar menu and one More Menu can be created for logged-out members. Additional logged-out menus cannot be added beyond these two menu types.

Guest Menu Visibility Requirements

Guest menus display only when the Private App setting is disabled.

1. Vaya a Dashboard > MP App > Settings > General > Privacy.
   
2. Verify the Private App checkbox is unchecked.

3. Haga clic en Guardar cambios if modifications were made.

Nota: When Private App is enabled, the app remains hidden from logged-out users entirely. Guest menus become inaccessible regardless of configuration.

Creating Menus for Logged-In Members

Logged-in member menus display to authenticated users. These menus can be customized based on Access Group membership.

1. Vaya a Dashboard > MP App > Menus > Tab Bar o More Menu.
   
2. Haga clic en Create a new menu.
   
3. Enter a descriptive name in the Menu Name campo.
   
4. Seleccione Logged-in Members del Login Status desplegable.

5. Haga clic en Crear menú.
   
6. Haga clic en Añadir elementos de menú to select navigation options.
   
7. Drag menu items to arrange display order.
   
8. Haga clic en el botón Guardar menú.

This menu displays to all authenticated users regardless of Access Group membership. Use this option for navigation common to all logged-in members.

Configuring Tab Bar Styling

Tab Bar styling controls the appearance across all Tab Bar menu versions.

1. Vaya a Dashboard > MP App > Menus > Tab Bar.
2. Toggle Icon Labels to show or hide text labels below icons.
   
3. Set Tab Bar Visibility:
   • Show on Tab Bar Menu displays the Tab Bar only on designated screens;
   • Show on All Screens displays the Tab Bar throughout the app.

4. Haga clic en Guardar configuración.

Nota: Styling settings apply globally to all Tab Bar versions. Individual menu versions cannot use different styling configurations.
