How can I change the navigation menu in WordPress?
Editing or Removing a Menu Item in WordPress Navigation Menus When you add pages or categories to your custom navigation menu, WordPress uses the page title or category name as the link text. You can change this if you want. Any menu item can be edited by clicking on the downward arrow next to it.
For example, you can show different menu items to logged in and logged out users, as well as showing menu items only to certain member roles. To create a menu with conditional logic go to the menus page in the WordPress admin then add your menu items to the menu structure.
What does the NAV menu plugin do for WordPress?

Is there way to restrict WordPress pages by user role?
Restricting WordPress Pages by User Role By default, WordPress comes with a limited set of tools to restrict content on your website. You can create private and password protected posts, but these features don’t allow you to limit access by user role. Luckily, there are several WordPress plugins that allow you to do just that.
How do you choose user role in WordPress?
Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab under membership options and choose a user role for this membership plan. Be careful when choosing a user role as each user role in WordPress comes with its own permissions. If you need you can also create a custom user role for the membership plans on your website. You can now publish your membership plan.
As a workaround, you can switch to a default theme (or disable the conflicting plugin), edit the Nav Menu Roles, for each menu item, then revert to your original theme/ reenable the conflicting plugin. The front-end functionality of Nav Menu Roles will still work. Only works with WordPress less than 5.4. Download and install this tiny plugin.
