The user arnie reported an issue where enabling the “Login Required” option redirects logged-in users to a non-existent /menu_links page. After troubleshooting, arnie identified the discourse-navigation plugin as the cause, which is no longer actively maintained. The developer vinothkannans suggested using the official theme component for header icons, but arnie noted it doesn’t support footer hamburger menu links. arnie later found a workaround via the meta-discourse guide on custom hamburger menus arnie, and exetico expressed interest in the solution, noting the plugin’s lack of development.
Hello to everyone,
I just want to ask if anyone can reproduce it or is it happening just to my discourse forum… When I activate the option in admin section Login Requiered, and when an User logs in, after sucessfull login the discourse forwards him to the page: example.org/menu_links . This menu_links page does not exist. Shouldn’t discourse go to the main domain (example.org/) strait away? How come this /menu_links apears?
Thanks
No idea, but likely a rogue third party plugin. Try disabling all third party plugins and rebuilding.
Thank you Jeff.
I’ve done what you suggested. I deactivated plugins one by one and found out that discourse-navigation plugin was faulty when Login Required option in admin section is activated. It is also reported to developer on his github repo..
I hope that it would be fixed soon.. because I find it esential to have…
Ah yes that @vinothkannans he is a bit of a wild card 
Hi @arnie, “discourse-navigation” plugin is currently not in active development. Like in your screencast if you want to add icon links in header then use Custom Header Links (icons) theme component.
Thank you @vinothkannans for pointing on that alternative, but specifically I used your plugin for creating a couple of footer links in hamburger drop-down-menu, and I think this addon theme does not support that functionality. Okay for now I’ll search for alternative way. Thanks
Let me know what you find, cause i need this specific option, too. I don’t like to put that much in the header 
And, it’s sad to hear that the development is not active anymore.
I found a alternative solution here:
