php - Different menus for different user roles -

i'm trying display 2 different menus depending on user role.

i have setup new role called 'clients' using code (in functions.php):

add_role( 'client', 'client', array(     'read' => true,  )  ); 

and have 2 different menus using code (in functions.php):

function register_my_menus() {   register_nav_menus(     array(   'client-navigation' => __( 'client navigation' ),   'staff-navigation' => __( 'staff navigation' ),      )   ); } add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' ); 

here code i'm trying use call either client navigation or staff navigation (in header.php):

<?php         if (current_user_can('client')){             //menu client role              wp_nav_menu( array('theme-location' => 'client-navigation' ));          }else{             //default menu              wp_nav_menu( array('theme-location' => 'staff-navigation' ));         } ?> 

i've tried adding 'echo' before wp_nav_menu , changing theme-location menu , used menu name, shows staff-navigation menu.

to use current_user_can, should add own custom capability.

without doing that, you're looking role, following function, adapted from here job:

function check_for_clients() {     global $current_user;      $user_roles = $current_user->roles;     $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);      return ($user_role == 'client'); } 

and in header.php file (note have typo in theme_location):

if ( check_for_clients() ){      wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' => 'client-navigation' ));  } else {      wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' => 'staff-navigation' )); }
