Side menu vs main menu

[Karen]

Hi, I have a question about the different menu options..

I´d much prefer to use the side menu in my site rather than the top navigation or main menu above the header.

But I need to display different menus for my members and guests. I also prefer to keep the code intact and find a workaround within the theme options – if possible – as I´m a HTML newbie..

As I can only select 1 menu to display as a side menu, I figure the best solution is to have a top navigation on guest pages and a side menu on my member pages. However, when I activate the side menu, it appears on all pages and I can´t turn it off in the individual pages settings.

Another solution would be to use the side menu throughout but hide menu items within it from guests, as you can do with the BuddyPress and KLEO links for logged in/non logged in users. But the pages I have made are seperate from these and I can´t hide them.

What I would like to avoid is guests clicking on a side menu item and landing on a restricted page with almost every link they try. I´d rather not have them see the pages at all until they are a proper member.

Hope you have an idea.. Many thanks in advance!
