Sorry, but my plugin has been retired and is no longer supported.

Hey Viper – I love your plugin (have made a few of my own tweaks to it) but when I upgraded and it was hidden I was heart broken.

Good thing they show how to hide it network wide on wordpress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/show_admin_bar

One item that I am not sure how to fix is items that are now in the Network Admin menu – they still show up in your menu but the links are broken as they point to wp-admin not wp-admin/network.

I’ve looked through the code and not sure exactly how to fix this. It was very handy for me as I have a support system that I access regularly from your menu that I now can’t because of the broken link.

Any ideas on how to fix would be appreciated.

Eve, try the plugin “Auto Hide Admin Bar”. It enables the WordPress 3.1 default admin bar to slide in gently whenever you move the mouse pointer to the top of your blog. This works in any scrolling position of your site, so it is exactly what you are looking for!

The downside is that the default admin bar of the current WordPress release lacks many items that would be helpful (i.e. the plugins menu).

Hope that helps!

Greetings,
Ralph

I would seriously love you forever if you could make this ‘float’ or stay stuck at the top of the screen- or tell me how- or another plugin, I am tired of scrolling up/down to get to the darn menus- lazy I know but it would really save me time… any ideas?

This plugin gives you control over who will see the admin bar based on user role or site wide. Also if you have absolutely positioned to the body it gives you the option to get rid of the annoying 28px bump. If you are a theme developer it also lets you disable it on a single page or across the whole site for a single sesison. This is really helpful if you dont want to have to log out just to get the admin bar to go away for a bit.

I did not see your plugin’s admin bar in WP 3.1 anymore, but that was before I found out that the new admin bar can be switched off in the user profile. Didn’t try that out yet, though. However, since the new one actually has its merits (like the mini visitor statistics provided by the WP stats plugin), a fresh approach combining the new standard with the configurable item selection provided by your plugin would certainly be the best of both worlds…

My plugin (should) still work fine. Does it not?

Also you an just deactivate my plugin instead of deleting it and you’ll be notified when a new version is released automatically.

My plugin my have more functionality, but it’s a pile of crap behind the scenes.

Alex, you see that your great and very useful plugin is appreciated all over the world. We all know, however, that with the arrival of WP 3.1, your plugin has (sadly) become osolete in its present form and does not work anymore.

But you showed us a “silver lining at the horizon” by stating that you “will likely rewrite it at some point to add more functionality to the 3.1 admin bar instead”.

This is a great perspective, however one question remains: How do the fans of your discontinued plugin get the message when a sucessor is released somewhen? With the old plugin disabled and deleted, there will be no notification out of the WordPress backend. I’d suggest that you may create a mailing list for people interested in that yet unwritten substitute for your “WordPress admin bar” plugin?

Another possibility would be to post an update message at

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-admin-bar/

where everybody who is interested might have a look at the current status from time to time…

Greetings,
Ralph

Your plugin is better.

That’s exactly what I was secretly hoping for…

Thanks again, your work is very much appreciated!
