 * Hello,
    I am using pen-theme for a long time but now I would like to include 
   a memberspace function to my webseit. Therefore I need the menus to change if
   the user is logged in or not or if the user has a specific role. I found tutorials
   on the internet but I did not find the correct functions in pen-theme, where 
   the menus are declared. I searched throght the header.php, but there are functions
   and functions and I did not find the correct one. Can somebody help me?
 * Thanks a lot!

 * Hi there,
 * Sure, the function would be “pen_html_menu” inside the /include/html.php, however,
   any solution that requires patching the theme, even a Child theme, should be 
   avoided, as it may get outdated after a few major updates of the theme and so
   on.
 * There are many plugins though that would do exactly that:

 * Hope it helps!
 * PS: Please consider rating the theme, thanks.
