Creating Custom Headers for Different User Login States in JupiterX

Introduction 

Personalizing the user experience on your WordPress website can include altering the header based on whether a user is logged in or not. This customization allows for presenting a member-specific navigation menu or special items exclusively for logged-in users. JupiterX facilitates this requirement seamlessly, without the need for additional plugins or complex code modifications.

Creating Headers for Different User States 

To begin with, you will need to design separate headers for logged-in and non-logged-in users.

  1. Start by navigating to JupiterX > Layout Builder.
  2. Click to create a new header and name it appropriately, for instance, "Logged Out Header" or "Member Header".
  3. Design your header for non-logged-in users with the navigation and elements that you wish to display to guests.

If you also require a different header for logged-in users:

  1. Repeat the process to create another header tailored for users after they have logged in.
  2. Customize this header with additional menu items, links, and widgets relevant to members.

Setting Display Conditions for Headers 

Once your headers are crafted:

  1. In the Elementor editor, click on the Publish button's dropdown arrow located on the right-hand side of the screen.
  2. Select Display Conditions from the menu.
  3. To add a condition:
    • Click on Add Condition.
    • Choose User Attributes.
    • Depending on your requirement, pick either Not Logged In Users for the 'Logged Out Header' or All Logged In Users for the 'Member Header'.
  4. After setting an individual condition, you might want to display it across your entire site. To do this:
    • Add another condition.
    • Select the Entire Site to apply the header universally or specify particular pages if required.

The conditions determine where and to whom each header will be displayed, allowing you to show different headers to users depending on their login status.

Finalizing Your Custom Headers 

After setting the conditions:

  1. Click on Save & Close to apply the settings.
  2. It's important to review your work by previewing your site in both logged-in and logged-out states to ensure the headers are switching correctly.
  3. Make adjustments if necessary by revisiting the Layout Builder conditions.
