It seems that the OP have managed to solve his/her problem by doing this, which can be found at Different menus for logged-in users.
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'logged-in-menu' ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'logged-out-menu' ) );
}
The more shorter way to achieve that is by doing this, which is posted in new developer.wordpress.org version:
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => is_user_logged_in() ? 'logged-in-menu' : 'logged-out-menu'
) );
The robust way to achieve that without creating two different menus, is to use a custom 'walker' function:
-
Look for the custom walker class that your theme is using in its
wp_nav_menu():wp_nav_menu( array( // More arguments here.. 'walker' => new Your_Theme_Custom_Nav_Walker(), ) ); -
Write a new class in your “functions.php”, extend
Your_Theme_Custom_Nav_Walkerclass (you can easily search its declaration by using an IDE) or extend theWalker_Nav_Menuclass if they’re not using any custom walker, and copy the necessary function(s) to modify, mostly thestart_el()function, of that walker class in their declaration. Here is the simple custom class that extends theWalker_Nav_Menuthat I build to suit your needs:class WP_Custom_Nav_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu { /** * Start the element output. * * @see Walker::start_el() * * @since 3.0.0 * * @param string $output Passed by reference. Used to append additional content. * @param object $item Menu item data object. * @param int $depth Depth of menu item. Used for padding. * @param array $args An array of arguments. @see wp_nav_menu() * @param int $id Current item ID. */ public function start_el( &$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0 ) { $indent = ( $depth ) ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : ''; $classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes; $classes[] = 'menu-item-' . $item->ID; /** * Filter the CSS class(es) applied to a menu item's list item element. * * @since 3.0.0 * @since 4.1.0 The `$depth` parameter was added. * * @param array $classes The CSS classes that are applied to the menu item's `<li>` element. * @param object $item The current menu item. * @param array $args An array of {@see wp_nav_menu()} arguments. * @param int $depth Depth of menu item.

' class="' . esc_attr( $class_names ) . '"' : ''; /** * Filter the ID applied to a menu item's list item element. * * @since 3.0.1 * @since 4.1.0 The `$depth` parameter was added. * * @param string $menu_id The ID that is applied to the menu item's `<li>` element. * @param object $item The current menu item. * @param array $args An array of {@see wp_nav_menu()} arguments. * @param int $depth Depth of menu item.

'"' : ''; // MODIFICATION STARTS HERE!! $output .= $indent . '<li' . $id . $class_names; if (apply_filters('the_title', $item->title, $item->ID) === 'My Account') { if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { $output .= '>'; } else { $output .= '><a href="' . get_site_url() .

You can use that
WP_Custom_Nav_Walkerlike this:wp_nav_menu( array( // More arguments here.. 'walker' => new WP_Custom_Nav_Walker(), ) );
You can check this answer for another example how to do that.
