-A simple plugin to control WordPress menu item visibility based on login status or user roles.
+Easily control who can see each WordPress menu item — everyone, logged-in users, logged-out users, or specific user roles.
 
 == Description ==
 
-Menu Visibility Control lets you easily choose who can see each menu item:
-* Everyone
-* Only logged-in users
-* Only logged-out users
-* Specific user roles
+**Menu Visibility Control** is a lightweight and reliable WordPress plugin that lets you manage menu visibility based on login status or user roles — directly inside the menu editor.
 
-The options appear directly in the WordPress menu editor. Lightweight and minimal – no complicated settings page needed.
+Choose who sees each menu item:
+* 👥 Everyone  
+* 🔒 Logged-in users only  
+* 🚪 Logged-out users only  
+* 🧩 Specific user roles (Administrator, Editor, Subscriber, etc.)
 
-This is useful for membership sites, communities, or any site where you want custom navigation per user type.
+No extra pages, no complicated setup — just open **Appearance → Menus**, edit a menu item, and select the visibility option.
+
+### 💡 Perfect For
+- Membership and community sites  
+- Client dashboards and intranets  
+- Multi-role WordPress sites  
+- Blogs that need different menus for visitors vs. members  
+
+### 🔧 Key Features
+- Seamlessly integrates with **Appearance → Menus**  
+- Works with **any theme or page builder** using `wp_nav_menu()`  
+- Role-based visibility support  
+- Secure and performance-optimized (nonces, sanitization, minimal footprint)  
+- 100 % free and open-source  
+
+### 🧠 Why Use It
+Unlike heavier plugins, Menu Visibility Control uses core WordPress filters only — keeping your site fast, secure, and fully compatible with caching or multilingual setups.
 
 == Installation ==
 
-1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/menu-visibility-control` directory, or install via the WordPress plugin installer.
-2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
-3. Go to **Appearance > Menus**, edit a menu item, and set the **Visibility** option.
+1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/menu-visibility-control/`, or install it directly from the WordPress plugin installer.  
+2. Activate it through **Plugins → Installed Plugins**.  
+3. Go to **Appearance → Menus**, expand a menu item, and set the **Visibility** dropdown to:  
+   - *Everyone*  
+   - *Logged In Users*  
+   - *Logged Out Users*  
+   - *User Roles* (then tick which roles can view it)
+
+That’s all — no configuration required.
 
 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
 
-= Where do I find the settings? =

+There’s no separate settings page. All visibility controls appear directly in **Appearance → Menus** when editing menu items.
