## Code

```php
// Theme location to swap and the menu to show to logged-in users.
$wpide_member_menu_location = 'primary';
$wpide_member_menu          = 'Members Menu';

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', function ( $args ) use ( $wpide_member_menu_location, $wpide_member_menu ) {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() || empty( $args['theme_location'] ) || $wpide_member_menu_location !== $args['theme_location'] ) {
        return $args;
    }

    if ( wp_get_nav_menu_object( $wpide_member_menu ) ) {
        $args['menu'] = $wpide_member_menu;
    }

    return $args;
} );
```

## Notes

Create the menu under Appearance > Menus and put its name or slug in $wpide_member_menu. Works with classic themes.
