As of version 7.1, Memberlite includes custom blocks designed for use inside Header and Footer Variations. These blocks do not appear in the block inserter when you are editing a regular page or post. They are only available when you open a Header or Footer Variation for editing. You can find them in the block inserter.

Nav Menu Block

The Nav Menu block renders one of your WordPress navigation menus inside a Header or Footer Variation. Use it to place your primary navigation, footer links, or any other menu you have created.

To add the Nav Menu block to a variation:

1. Open a Header or Footer Variation for editing.
2. Click the + button where you want the menu to appear and search for Nav Menu.
3. Insert the Nav Menu block.
4. In the block settings panel on the right, open Menu Settings and use the Select Menu dropdown to choose which menu to display.
5. Click Update to save your changes.

If you have not created any menus yet, the dropdown will be empty. Create your menus first under Appearance > Menus, then return to your variation to select one.

Selecting a Menu

The Select Menu dropdown lists all existing menus on your site grouped under By Menu. Select the menu you want to display by name.

If you have the PMPro Nav Menus add-on active, you will also see a By Location group. Selecting a location instead of a specific menu means the block will display whatever menu is currently assigned to that location, so you can swap menus at Appearance > Menus without editing the variation again.

Styling the Nav Menu Block

The Nav Menu block supports the full set of block-level design controls. Use the settings panel to adjust:

• Color: Text color, background color, and link color.
• Typography: Font family, size, weight, style, line height, letter spacing, and text transform.
• Border: Color, radius, style, and width.
• Width: Wide or full alignment.

Member Info Block

The Member Info block shows login-aware content in the header. It automatically displays different content depending on whether the visitor is logged in.

When a visitor is logged in, the block shows:

• A welcome message: “Welcome, [First Name]” with a link to the member’s account page (on by default).
• The menu assigned to the Member location at Appearance > Menus.

When a visitor is not logged in, the block shows:

• The menu assigned to the Member – Logged Out location at Appearance > Menus.

Before adding this block, make sure you have assigned menus to the Member and Member – Logged Out locations. Go to Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations to assign them.

To add the Member Info block to a variation:

1. Open a Header or Footer Variation for editing.
2. Click the + button where you want the member area to appear and search for Member Info.
3. Insert the Member Info block.
4. In the block settings panel on the right, use the toggle to turn the welcome message on or off.
5. Click Update to save your changes.

Member Info Block Settings

• Show Welcome Message: When turned on, the block displays “Welcome, [First Name]” above the member menu for logged-in users. The name links to the member’s account page. Turn this off if you want to show only the navigation links without a greeting.

The Member Info block also supports color settings for text, background, and links.

Because navigation inside a Variation is managed directly in the block editor, changes you make at Appearance > Menus to the Primary or Footer locations will not affect any Header or Footer Variations you have created.
