How to add separate menu in sidebar for logged in users only?

Question

I am trying to provide my users with direct access to the various profile section ( Profile page, Account settings page, Wall page, PM page, Favorites page) by giving a separate link menu from the sidebar of every page of the site.

But the Issue is my created link menu shown to everyone on site. I just want to show only to logged-in users to give them easy access.

is there any plugin available that shows widgets based on user level or any other solution that can archive my goal?

widget anywhere can solve your problem

https://github.com/svivian/q2a-widget-anywhere

but you have to change some

private function wa_output_widget($pos)
	{
		foreach ($this->wanyw_widgets as $widget) {
			if ($widget['position'] === $pos )
			{
				if ($widget['ordering'] == 1 && !qa_is_logged_in() )
				{					
					$this->output('');
				}
					else
				$this->output($widget['content']);
			}
		}
	}

add https://github.com/svivian/q2a-widget-anywhere/blob/master/qa-wa-layer.php#L67

with order ==1 only shown to members

Thanks sonsuz for your solution,

I am already using WidgetAnywhere plugin on my site, If i follow your solution so it means every widget i created using WidgetAnywhere plugin only shown to logged-in users.

How can i apply your solution to particular my link menu widget?

You can assign a number you use in the ordering for this job. for example, ordering 7 is for members only, 6 is for guests only.  i did for user, guest, points. you can change ordering numbers for a widget that you have not used before.
