Reviews
what people actually sayConditional Menus is a free plugin with a loyal base of users who find it solves niche menu-switching needs elegantly, but a significant portion of reviewers report it simply does not work — particularly with WooCommerce, BuddyPress, logged-out states, and on mobile — and its lack of updates raises ongoing compatibility concerns.
What people like
- +Solves specific conditional menu needs (per-page menus, single-page sites, multilingual setups) quickly and with minimal configuration×5
- +Works for switching menus based on logged-in/logged-out user state×2
- +Described as powerful due to its multi-menu, condition-based approach
Common complaints
- −Multiple users report the plugin simply does not work at all or only partially, across pages, posts, and specific integrations×6
- −Does not work reliably with WooCommerce — conditional menus fail to display on all relevant shop pages
- −Does not work with BuddyPress / BuddyXpro
- −Menu does not update correctly on language switch without a manual page refresh; also unreliable on mobile
- −Cannot handle showing a logged-out menu only on the front page; logged-out state switching is incomplete for some users×2
- −Plugin has not been updated for an extended period and is flagged as untested with current WordPress versions, raising long-term compatibility concerns×2
- −Configuration approach (separate menus per condition) is considered complicated compared to an inline/single-menu model
- −No paid or donation option to fund ongoing maintenance
