Hi!
I have two different nav bars I want to display, based on if a user is logged in or not.
If they are not logged in, I’d like it to be:
- Home
- How It Works
- About Us
- Contact
- Login
- Sign up
If they are logged in, I’d like it to be:
- Report Symptoms
- Messages
- Results
- Profile
- Log out
I have tried conditions, but nothing has worked. I’ve also tried copying and pasting a different header per page, but there has to be a better way.
Would appreciate any insight, thank you!
These conditions are exactly for that purpose:

@teamfaco15 just to be sure, are you using a RE for this?
You could then overlap two different groups in your RE (i.e. both versions of the header) and use conditions as SerPounce mentioned above. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work
@ambroisedlg Hi! I am not using a reusable element for the header since on my home page, I have it so once you click on…

…it scrolls the user down to that section on the home page. I was told doing the scrolling like this doesn’t work with a reusable element unfortunately.
Okay @teamfaco15, it should be pretty much the same config though. You can have a main group, inside of which you can include two groups (both versions of your header) and set the same conditions as SerPounce mentioned on each of the child groups:
- If Current User is logged in -> this element is visible/is not visible
- If Current User isn’ logged in -> this element is visible/is not visible
@ambroisedlg Okay, thank you! Do I do this for every page in the website, or just the home page…? I’m brand new to this and it’s not clicking easily, appreciate your replies!
@ambroisedlg
I currently have this, but when I preview the page I get this.
I followed the advice you both gave so I’m just wondering if I did something wrong!
@teamfaco15 no problem, what you did is called a workflow, not a condition. It does work but it’s not best practice.
Instead, in your Floating Group B’s config, go the conditions tab and define those two conditions:
- when User is logged in -> this element is visible (checked)
- when User isn’t logged in -> this element is visible (unchecked)
Do the same thing with opposite conditions for Floating Group A and it should work fine
You would need to setup these conditions on pages where you have those two different headers
@ambroisedlg THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You’re welcome, glad I could be of help @teamfaco15
I have a similar use case but I am trying to use reusable elements to solve it.
I only want one header (RE), and I want a button in that header to show on my index page, but not on my other pages. Feels wrong to create “header A” and “header B” for this if I can help it…
I have edited the conditional properties of my button in the header – i.e. “When current page name is ‘index’ this element is visible” (and vice versa). Unfortunately the button either appears on both pages or disappears on both pages.
What am I doing wrong? I’m very new to this but am trying to lean into best practices with REs from the start – greatly appreciate your help!
I don’t see logged in as an option when I input the conditional?
Hi, my first post on here (probably of many).
I have created my nav bar using a floating group and added a dropdown menu which appears when the profile icon is clicked (the dropdown menu is a focus group). I have saved the whole thing as a reusable element so its the same on all of my pages. This works fine for one type of user, however I want different menu items to show when a different type of user is logged in. I assume I will need a second focus group and set some kind of conditional to instruct which focus group should display depending on which user is logged in, but I am not sure how to do that, can anyone advise? Thanks
