plugin for login that leads to private content

to show a different menu for logged-in logged-out users there is a php way via child-theme functions.php

you make two menus (the one for non logged in users and the other one) i called them main menu (for logged out users) and main menu logged (for logged in users). The one for logged out users i checked for main navigation

function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = '' ) {

if( is_user_logged_in() ) { 
	$args['menu'] = 'main menu logged';
} else { 
	$args['menu'] = 'main menu';
} 
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args' );

but this only hides the pages links in your menu – if you want a restriction there are a lot of plugins – but i did not find one easy to use
Eyes only or page restrict etc. role scoper .
But i don’t like to test it now.

hm it seems to be to easy ! ?

goto plugin editor and open – choose secret content and only ad that meta box for portfolio:

add_meta_box(
        'secret_sectionid',
        _x( 'Show this to logged in visitors only?', 'Headline for checkbox / activation on portfolio', 'secret_textdomain' ),
        'secret_render_meta_box_content',
        'portfolio',
        'side',
        'high'
    );

so it looks afterwards at the top in this way:

function secret_meta_box() {
    add_meta_box(
        'secret_sectionid',
        _x( 'Show this to logged in visitors only?', 'Headline for checkbox / activation on posts', 'secret_textdomain' ),
        'secret_render_meta_box_content',
        'post',
        'side',
        'high'
    );
        add_meta_box(
        'secret_sectionid',
        _x( 'Show this to logged in visitors only?', 'Headline for checkbox / activation on portfolio', 'secret_textdomain' ),
        'secret_render_meta_box_content',
        'portfolio',
        'side',
        'high'
    );
    add_meta_box(
        'secret_sectionid',
        _x( 'Show this to logged in visitors only?', 'Headline for checkbox / activation on pages', 'secret_textdomain' ),
        'secret_render_meta_box_content',
        'page',
        'side',
        'high'
    );
}

then the plugin works too for portfolio entries !

the password protected page option ?

<smh>

i try to find a solution which fits perferct for you.
there was only one marker to set on each page/post/portfolio – if the marker is set only logged-in users see those posts including those related menu entries. Even in masonry and sidestep blog navigation only logged in users can see those marked entries.
