    Hello all,

    I have Colorway Pro Theme and have created an e-commerce site. We have partnered with another entity and they want special pricing for our products. This entails either redoing the entire pricing for every page, or duplicating the pages for a special page for this partner, which is what we have chosen to do at this time.

    However, I want them to go to their special link and then have a different set of menus so they can see the adjusted prices. Basically I created the site like www.xyz.com/customername and then put all the duplicate pages in there.
    I want to give that address to the customer/partner and then when they go to that site, their pages would be visible.
    However, I am unsure how to do that since I cannot make a different menu (it says only 1 menu is supported).
    Or am I overthinking it and there is an easier way?

    Hello,

    To achieve this, go to
    Appearance > Menus
    Create a custom menu and only add the pages that you want to show in the menu.

    You have to create different custom menu for different pages.

    The trick is that install Dynamic Widget plugin from WordPress.org.

    Now, Go to Appearance > Widgets

    and drag "Custom Menu" widget and drop it in the Primary widget area.

    You have to select different menu for different pages from select menu option of the custom menu widget.

    I did this, thanks.
    One further question that perhaps you or someone else can expand upon for me.
    I have dynamic widgets now installed.
    Essentially I am trying to use it to make a second menu that is more limited for specific customers.
    I made the menu and saved it.
    I have it set to only appear (I think?) on the specified pages.

    Nothing happens.

    Hello,

    Creates all your Custom menu and add those pages that you want to show in the particular menu,
    from Appearance > Menus in your dashboard as shown in the image given below.

    Now, Go to Appearance > Widgets

    and drag and drop "Custom Menu" widget as many time as you have created the different menus, in the Primary widget area .

    You have to select different menu for each pages from select menu option of the custom menu widget.

    See the image for reference.

    And then install Dynamic Widget plugin from WordPress.org and make restriction on the different custom menus.

    I had previously done that...and apparently did a poor job of explaining it :)
    But it still does not work.
    Obviously I have some setting off somewhere.
    No idea what it is.
