WordPress Admin Bar
Description:
This plugin creates an admin bar at the top of your site for logged in users (i.e. you) based on the design of the admin bar located at WordPress.com. It has links to all popular areas of the admin area, saving you time.
It requires no theme editing whatsoever — just upload and activate and you’re done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Some plugins don’t show up in the admin bar. What gives?
A: The author of the problematic plugin has a is_admin() test when creating their admin menu which means that if you’re outside of the admin area, their plugin won’t register it’s admin menu. Therefore it of course won’t show up in my admin bar. Contact them and ask them to remove the is_admin() test (or do it yourself).
OK, it does look pretty. Infact WP needs something like this by default, it might as well be yours.
Another Viper007Bond plugin for my site :)
Please keep up the work, this is well appreciated!
Thanks!
Updated to v1.0.1. :)
Hello,
Neat plugin, very comfortable. Thanks.
What license is this plugin released under? I didn’t see any mention of copyright in the README.
Presuming that it is released under a GPL compatible license, I’ll share my little patch with you. The patch adds an Akismet Spam entry to the Manage menu if the Akismet plugin is activated.
The patch is available here: http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/wordpress_patches/wpcom_adminbar-akismet.patch

Good thinking, Paul. I totally forgot about Akismet. I’ll add it in. :)
Okay, updated to version 1.0.2 with support for more plugins, including Akismet.
Excellent admin bar, saves me alot of time when editing pages / changing options. Thanks Viper.
Version 1.0.3 released. No need to upgrade unless you use Democracy or WordPress v2.1.
I use the WP-ShortStat plugin, the WP-ShortStat page is a sub-page of Dashboard, so I hacked your code again to add support for it – always having to load the Dashboard seemed far too slow now that I was able to access all the other sub-pages so quickly and easily.
You can find the patch here: http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/wordpress_patches/wpcom_adminbar-WPshortstat.patch
The patch is against version 1.0.3.
Thanks Paul. I’m glad to add support for any plugin in which you’d need to access to from your main site. :)
Mine doesn’t look the way it should. Everything’s pushed off to the right so one link is hidden behind the search box and I can’t click on all of the links in the pull down menus. HELP!!

I assume you’re logged in? Have you looked at the source of your page? Does the HTML for the admin bar show up near the bottom of the source (it’ll be rather apparent)?
If it’s still not working, try temporarily switching to the default theme to see if it works.
It shows the HTML code, and the admin bar is showing at the end of the page. You can see it here. Thanks 4 helping.
Sorry this is the right link
Both of those are 403 for me, but it appears that you did not upload the plugin correctly as the URL where it should be is 404.
You need to keep it in a folder and all the files and folders inside it. It’s displaying at the bottom because it can’t load the CSS stylesheet that makes it appear at the top of your page.
You were right, all I need to do was to change the folder’s name to “wpcom_adminbar” and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot for this great plug in.
This plugin would be much more mobile and usable on varying Wordpress installations if it utilized the same (or similar) hooks found in wp-admin/menu-header.php for building the adminmenu and submenu hierarchy. This would prevent manual additions and alterations to the wpcom_adminbar function based on each Wordpress installation and it’s installed plugins…
That’s actually a really good idea. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that. lol
Just thought you would like to know that-for some reason-doesn’t work with the Sunburn (http://fightingfriends.com/sunburn/) theme. Doesn’t even appear in the sourceAh well, back to the default heme. The plugin is worth it. :)

I have another patch for your wpcom_adminbar plugin.
It’s a bundled patch which does the following things:
–
* fix Akismet Spam entry
The function name changed in Akismet somewhere around version
1.8. The patch adds a check for the new function name, at the same time keeping the old check in place.
* add Links menu with submenu items
Useful for me.
* add support for the wpShortStat and wpStats plugins
WP-ShortStat: http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/wp-shortstat
wpStats: http://www.biggleszx.com/category/wordpress/

Sorry, but this plugin is way back on my list of things to update. ;)

Not a problem for me — I can patch it to make it do what I want it to do. OTOH, (thinking aloud here), if you want to hand over the development of the plugin, then perhaps I’d be interested in that.
I’m not ready to give up development of it quite yet. It’s just that I have a few plugins I need to update to work with 2.1 first as well as paid work. ;)
I upgraded my WordPress installation to version 2.1, and so hacked wpcom_adminbar to support WordPress 2.1 (and only WordPress 2.1), primarily for my own use. But, I’m lettting you know just because it may save you some time when you do the update yourself.
This patch adds support for the WP-ShortStat and wpStats plugins, modifies the menu layout and names to match those found in WP 2.1, adds the ‘Blogroll’ menu and submenu items, and fixes the Akismet Spam menu entry.
The patch is here wpcom_adminbar_for_WordPress2.1_plus_extra_plugin_support.patch
For the convenience of the other users who have upgraded to WP 2.1, who are as impatient as me, and are not able to apply a patch, I’ve created a zip archive of my modified version. Lest you think that I’m stepping on your toes too much with making a modified version available, I’d like to stress that this is announced nowhere but here. I’ll remove it from my server if you are not happy about a modified version floating around.
Download here: wpcom_adminbar-1.0.3-twb.zip
Many thanks for your plugin.

Paul
No, that’s fine. I’m the first to admit I’m too busy. ;)
What would I need to edit to get this plugin to load on my blog even when I’m not logged on Viper?
EDIT: Nevermind, found it.
This plugin breaks the lightbox plugin apparently. I’ve enabled it and lightbox is no longer working :(
Sorry for flooding your comments Viper, but it looks like I was wrong about your plugin breaking lightbox. The only peculiar thing that I have noticed is that on some sites, particularly where other javascript effects are in place, this plugin causes the page to scroll in a very peculiar way. Take a look at http://burhan.hadithuna.com when you get the chance.
Thanks again for this excellent piece of work. I love it!
this plugin does not work with WordPress v1.5.x??

TIA.
It does as it uses the WordPress API.
thanks for the plugin!
very useful plugin, thanks!
This plugin has been completely recoded from the ground up and the new version is available on WordPress.org. :)
Very nicely done Viper. I love the fact that you made it very easy to be used on WPMU just by flipping the $folder variable

Viper,
Excellent plugin. The only problem I have is when I look at my site with IE, the bar shows up below the footer of the site. Which isn’t necessarily a problem because I use FireFox but some of my other authors still use IE. Just need to know if there is something I need to do to fix this.
Again, excellent plugin and thanks.

Hi. Great plugin… so much easier now… shame you can’t replace the dashboard completely with it, or at least have it there alongside the dashboard.. anyhow I digress so soon.
It seems that some plugin authors put their config panels on the top level, but this plugin does not detect them, 2 that I have cound, podpress and CyStats. The first is not really a biggy, but the stats page is so nice to have.
I have hand cranked a hard code in but any help much appreciated.

Great news Viper, I downloaded the new version but can’t find the hooks to uncomment. Where are they?
Forget the last comment, I found it!
HI, I just downloaded the latest version and my issue with added plugins not appearing on the menu has taken an interesting turn, they still does not appear on the menu when on the standard site and appear twice when on an admin page (but only once on the dashboard menu). Is this still an issue with the way both the other plugins are inserting their menus?
One other thing: can we get an option to add the menu or not in the admin section (or default to on – removing the dashboard one), or else the upgrade path will be problematic if I have to remember anything past a couple of hours ago?
This is still a cool plugin though :)
Oh, for info I have checked both the plugins I am using (CyStats and podPress) and they are both using the add_menu_page() function correctly:
add_menu_page('CyStats Statistics Plugin', 'CyStats', 8, __FILE__, 'cystats_admin_index');...
add_menu_page('podPress', 'podPress', $permission_needed, 'podpress/'.$starting_point.'.php');
Sorry for the comment spamming, but I´ve just tried out the new version (with the hooks uncommented) on three different Wp installs (wp 2.1.5, wp 2.2 and wpmu 1.2) and the admin bar does not show up on the admin pages. There is a white space on top were it should be, but that´s it. On the public pages it works as expected.
Ah ha. You are right, the plugins do not call the admin stuff in the right place. I have passed this on to the authors.
I think there is still a bug in the menu bar code in that about line 59 of wordpress-admin-bar.php where you include the menu stuff, you should exclude this if you are on an admin page because it has already been called by wordpress and the second call adds everything a second time.
if(!is_admin()) { // added to exclude being called twice in admin mode
include( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/menu.php’ );
}
Thanks
Fixed in 2.0.2. Thanks.

As soon as WordPress.org updates. Seems it’s been having issues lately.
I LOVE this plugin. Unfortunately, when I use it in the admin area, in the write post area, it throws the textarea into disarray. Same with the plugin editor textarea (which I noticed when I recommented those two lines in the plugin). I’m using Firefox 2 on a mac with WP 2.3.2.
Like I said, LOVE this plugin. Drop down menus for the admin area should be part of the core.
Thanks for a great Plugin! Just one note/bug: It interferes with the Flash Cortex Plugin. Vids won´t show up anymore, when the admin bar is active. Would be really great if this could be fixed, cos until then i fear i have to de-activate the admin bar..
Pretty awesome plugin! One thing, though, you might want to put a stupidly high z-index in the css, like 2000, to make sure that the admin bar opens up over everything else on the page. The Freshy theme, for example, has it’s header image at a z-index of 200 because of the way it handles the custom headers, I believe.
Another issue, which is small since it only affects admins and not surfers, is a Warning on the bottom of the page. I narrowed it down to the admin bar plugin out of all of mine.
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'Array' was given in /home/citronix/public_html/wp/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 164

You sure that’s my plugin causing the problem? It’s the only one activated and it goes away when my plugin is deactivated?
I have errors showing on my WP 2.5 dev blog and all I got was notices (which I just now fixed) and no warnings.
I went through my plugins enabling/disabling them one by one, and Admin Bar was the one responsible for that Warning on the bottom of the page. That, and the fact that it doesn’t appear when I’m logged out seems to indicate an element that is only active when I’m logged in, such as the admin bar.

Great plugin. I use it for a group site so users can manage their profile’s and moderate posts and comments easily.
Thanks for the great implementation. No errors or plugin problems ever for me.
OK. Maybe I spoke too soon.
I did notice *one* little issue: performance is erratic when viewing a site with Admin Bar enabled using the Flock browser on Mac OS X. Anybody else notice this?
Granted, Flock has a pretty minor user base. Our site has never had a visitor using Flock (except myself), so I’m not worried. But thought the developer might be curious.
Thanks!
Very useful plugin.
Hope to see this updated to compatability with WP 2.5.

I have the plugin installed and activated on 2.5 but all it’s doing its loading in the CSS file. The php for the menu never gets processed and the Javascript never gets loaded. It’s not even showing the Javascript when I view source. Any thoughts?

It would be good if there were a plugin option page that allowed to to select whether it was visible in either blog or admin mode, instead of hacking the code and reading the comments… every time I upgrade, I gotta remember to do it :)

But yes, eventually I plan on adding an options page for removing specific items as well as a toggle for the admin area. I just have higher priorities and the plugin works fine without it, that’s all.
That worked like a charm! Now, if only I could customize what shows for admins vs. contributors… Thanks!
There is a major problem. With your plugin, I can’t see the blinking cursor (i.e. the “|” that blinks that shows your positions in a textarea or searchbox, where to type). Users can’t really edit their posts or comments if they can’t see this cursor.

Also, perhaps, in a future version, a link to the actual site i.e., “Visit Site”, may make sense. THANKS! I love this plugin….
I spoke too soon… I have a Flash header (as many sites do), but the drop-down menu is behind it so I can’t see all the options. Confirmed in FireFox and Internet Explorer.

I took care of the Flash issue, it was entirely on my side.
However, the “Edit Post” feature in your plugin seems faulty. When I browse a post as admin and click on it, it always takes me to a different post. I tried in all browsers and across many posts.

You have a second loop, like “latest posts”, in your sidebar, don’t you? This is causing the problem. It shows an edit link to the last post to be displayed.
I couldn’t think of a solution until right this second. I’ll go play around with my code and see if I can get it to work.
Great plugin. I appreciate that I can right-click from the drop-down menu, and open the new page in another browser tab. However, I deal with many plugins, and thus I have a long list of options in the “settings” listing. It’s almost full and I wonder and your plugin will deal with that, after I add two or three more plugins…
Thanks…

Since my planned options page for this plugin hasn’t been coded up yet, a short-term fix is to throw together a mini-plugin for yourself to modify the list.

That’s because that plugin is in your admin area. BB has code that makes it only register it’s options page when you’re in the admin area.
I would recommend a small update to the CSS:
body {padding-top: 29px !important;
background-position: 0px 29px;
}
This will take care of the background position as well.
Andrei Neculau on April 11th, 2008 at 2:54 AM wrote:
The problem with that is some themes, like the one in use on this site, use a fixed background image. If I bump down the background image, it will stay bumped down even if I scroll the page.
So I decided to leave that out as the majority of users who will see the admin bar will be owners of the site not random users who would care.
Hi,
I noticed that for some plugins like StatPress which have additional parameters in their menu item URLs, the admin bar will create invalid (X)HTML. This is not relevant for visitors of course, but it gave me 10 validation errors which make looking for those errors that are visible to visitors a bit harder. You can fix it by simply replacing
$this->adminurl . $urlwithhtmlspecialchars($this->adminurl . $url)in line 133 of the php file.Cheers,
Robert
Hi Viper,
I am a big fan of the plugin. I have detected two issues with it, but I cannot decide if it is a theme conflict or something else. They definitely go away if I am not logged in.
First, if one tries to go to an individual comment at the end of a long thread, the page will not drop you to the correct comment, rather at some comment further up in the thread. I suspect that this thread would have enough comments to display the issue if you tried to get to the end of the thread.
Second, if I have a flash video embedded in a post, as I scroll down the video appears to go invisible at a fixed point on the screen. The result is that as I scroll down, the video appears to drop behind a hidden horizontal line.
Neither of these seems to affect a regular user, just a user logged in while the admin bar is present.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
Great plugin. To work as I wanted it in both Site and Admin view I had to make the following modifications to control screen content with some JS. Let me know if this functionality was build in and I missed it?
—— Code ——-
// Format the comments in moderation count in WP 2.5+ a little better
function ModeratedComments( $menu ) {
if ( stristr( $menu[20][0], ‘count-0′ ) ) return $menu;
$menu[20][0] = str_replace(
array( “<span id=’awaiting-mod’ class=’count-”, ” ),
array( “(<span id=’awaiting-mod’ title=’” . __(’Moderated comments count’) . “‘ class=’count-”, ‘)’),
$menu[20][0]
);
return $menu;
}
}
// Added by Chris Pike to hide elements of the screen contents (Part 1 of 2) – 6th May 2008
function wp_adminmenu_js($menu = ”) {
echo <<<JS
JS;
}
// end of Chris Pike Addition (Part 1 of 2)
// Start this plugin once all other files and plugins are fully loaded
add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, create_function( ”, ‘global $WPAdminBar; $WPAdminBar = new WPAdminBar();’ ) );
// Added by Chris Pike to hide elements of the screen contents if you are Admin (Part 2 of 2) – 6th May 2008

It doesn’t hide the new menus that were added in 2.5, but some more CSS will handle that.
My added code purely deals with the built in content of user_info, dashboard, admin.
In my first post I failed to post correctly and some code was lost, I do use your code at lines 34 and 35. Here goes again, I hope:

Whoops, accidentally deleted someone’s comment about themes (clicked “Delete” instead of “Approve”). If that was your comment, please post it again. Sorry.
That would be my comment you deleted heh XD I don’t rember exactly what I said but here is what I can remember:
Anyway I would like to know if there is an easier to add new Admin bar themes. The way I did it was to edit the php file and add a new folder (/wordpress-admin-bar/themes/custom1)and copy then modify the css file from another admin-bar theme.
Also I noticed while debugging that if I log in as a subscriber (maybe other user levels) that it gives my the option to change admin-bar settings in the admin-bar but if I click on it it tells me “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
I realized after I posted my comment and did not see it show up that because I posted two URLs my comment would get get sent for moderation. I hope I explained this well if not email me at trm96@trm96.com

lol, there’s much easier ways. I made sure to include an API and a filter. No need to edit anything inside this plugin’s folder.
For theme developers, you just call a function (details here), but that’s if your CSS file and images are inside your current theme folder (i.e. if you want to distribute a WP Admin Bar theme with your WP theme).
Otherwise (i.e. adding a theme via another plugin) you’ll need to modify the themes array via the “
wpabar_themes” filter. An example plugin can be found right here.As for the not being able to edit the options for subscribers, I just tested and I didn’t have any problems.
is there a way the admin bar stays the same for all the nonadmins?
Hi Viper,
For your information, the other plugin I use “Lighter Menus) does list all my plugins.
Thanks or your attention,

I love the new admin bar. Though I have one concern.
It would be nice to have the admin bar appear to all the users as the way set up by the administrator instead of users(non admins)going in and change. I am not a php person so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This new theme is really great. Congretulations on the 3.0!
You have to add a float layout to the div’s in the wordpress-admin-bar.php file.
style="float: left;"andstyle="float: right;"this is a ie-hack, otherwise it won’t ‘work’ (covers the other menu) with version 3.0.0 in IE7 ;)

Hi,
I think I found a bug: I installed Admin bar in my Wordpress MU and two of my mu-plugins (MU tags and signup question) got listed in submenus.

Nevermind. It is not a bug in Admin bar. There are a small bugs in those plugins. Thanks for your great plugin.

Nice plugin man. I just lack one thing: a link to the website. I’m often not able to move quickly from administration to the outer-site. Yes, it’s because I hid the area where the link usually is. But anyway, it would be nice to have such a link in the bar. What do you think?

I know about this option and maybe I will do it so finally, but for some reason I thought that direct integration into the plugin would make more sense… I can’t say why, maybe I dislike long lists of active plugins…

Excellent plugin so far! really appreciated! But also got some issues: cfromsII and nextgen gallery links does not show up in the bar even if they are selected iin the admin menu of adminbar. also some selected options within “manage” dont show up (e.g. redirection of the redirection plugin i use).
any hints or known issues about this?

Hi, i have a suggest to optimise the Plugin, look at #348 at wordpress-admin-bar.php
echo '#adminmenu,#dashmenu,#user_info,#footer, #sidemenu, #submenu ';
if ( !file_exists( ABSPATH . 'wpmu-settings.php' ) ) echo ', #dashmenu';
echo ' { display: none; }
#wphead{border:none;}
' . "\n";
This looks better for me :)
Thanks for your fine Plugin!
If you hide #user_info, then the “Turbo” linked added in WordPress 2.6 won’t be there. The #footer is at the bottom, so it’s not a big deal plus it adds a little spacing which is nice IMO.
I’ve come up with a twist on your changes though. I’ll include it in the next version. :)
Thanks for your answer :)
I have found a user is going 1 step further, look here:

I have just the same problem like marco – no links for the nextgen-gallery :-/

I was just wondering, I mean all the plugins settigns can only be mde for the currently logged in user, isn’t there a way to set certain defaults for non-admin users or will they simply only see menues that their user class allows them to see ?
I am just worried they will see links to admin areas where they are not supposed to play around..
nevermind I tested that by logging in as a subscriber, and almost all menus were gone whic his perfect, except I saw 3 plugins menu udner the settigns menu, but when I clicked them I was told I had not sufficient right. which is also good, but how to hide these menus from teh settigns menue if the user has no rights to click them anyway?
is there someway Ican modify these plugins so they do not show up udner the settigns menu?
The plugin works very well, but the idea would be to add a control options in plugin/adminmenu setting to use the plugin only to the levels chosen (subscribe, editor..)…

Yeah, I need to update this plugin for 2.6 to better handle that. It’s on my long, long list of things to do.
Hi,
I am using your admin toolbar on a plain WP installation, and it works wonderfully. I want to use it on a WPMU installation.

I have a feature suggestion for WPMU. I am already using your plugin (with a few minor hacks) on one of my MU’s. Like it a lot. You did a great job with Setings/Admin Bar hiding menus check box option. What would be great is a possibility to have similar Admin Panel where WPMU Admin can set default menus for all new blogs created so it doesn’t have to do it for every blog manually. And than, if he wants, he can use current panel to enable/disable menus for particular blog. Please let me know what do you think about it and how difficult would it be to accomplish something like that? It would be a great feature. There’s a similar (hiding menus) plugin that already does something similar but the problem is that you can enable/dissable menus for all blogs only – http://wpmudev.org/project/Menus
Yeah, I need to update most of my plugins so that WPMU admins can set up defaults. *adds it to his todo list*
Next week – next month – next year?

I expect it’ll be months before I overhaul this plugin as when I do do it, I’ll probably just end up recoding the thing quite a bit to support it showing up on all blogs on the network (rather than just the user’s blog).
In the meantime, just modify the
$this->defaults['hide']array. That should do the trick.Thanks. Btw, this plugin is more than good. Keep on developing it. I plan to use it on all of my future MU’s.
One more thing. Any idea on what will happen to this plugin when WP reaches 2.7? Menus look quite different. Thanks.

Is there a way to change the admin bar so it doesn’t load individual settings for every user but all accounts get the same settings?

Two things i’m not clear about.

And second ..with the plugin installed. The Site Admin menu is shown to normal users. They get a access denied message, but how do I hide that from them ?

I am running Wordpress MU. I love this plugin and offer it to all of my users. The problem I have is with one plugin in particular. I come here because the menus work fine when I am not using the Admin Bar.
When the adminbar is not active, the top menu option ‘upgrades’ takes me correctly to http://domainname.com/wp-admin/upgrades.php, but when I activate the adminbar, it takes me to http://domainname.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=upgrades.php which leads to an error.
I have had a few plugins that have done things similar, but not longer use them. I have to use this plugin and my users need to be able to access the option. I don’t want to give up the AdminBar for my users. I will continue to use it and correct the address when I need in that area. worth it to me but I can’t tell my users to do this.

2.7 Suggestion -
Would it be possible to have the adminbar – and leave the sidebar as well? That way we could utilize the frequently/needed stuff only up top, and the rest of the menu would still be available on the side.
Know you’re working on it – so this is only a suggestion!
Love this plugin!
v3.0.4 is fully WordPress 2.7 compatible.
EDIT: Er, it’s settings page is all funky, but the bar itself works on your actual blog. I’ll fix the admin-side of it soon.
Okay, v3.0.5 just uploaded. The settings page actually works now, as does using the admin bar in the admin area (it won’t hide the default navigation menu — just collapse it if you don’t want to use it).
I really need to test my code more before uploading.
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
Regards
Many thanks for all your work! Happy to report the latest version is working perfectly with WP 2.7 here at Greywulf Towers :D
Thanks again!
I just updated to the latest version of your plugin and it shows the bar in the footer of my blog. It used to work fine under the last version of WP, I disabled it until an update to make it work for WP 2.7.

P.S. am running WP v2.7
Hi,
Unfortunately 1152 pixels width are not enough for the bar with the Hungarian admin interface including the WP Security Scan plugin. The transated text is a bit longer than the generic but it would be useful if you could make the size of the texts and the boxes smaller. Thank you very much :)
[EDIT] Found the possibility of turning on/off the blocks :) Fortunately I don’t need to go into the admin section of the plugin so often :) Thanks again!

Your theme has some CSS that is overriding my plugin’s CSS. Try moving the footer hook in your footer.php file to right before

Hi, I’m using WP 2.7, Fr version.
After I activate the WP Admin Bar, the admin area is completely locked !
First of all I deactivated the other plugins installed in my WP and then I tried to reactivate your plugin but with the same error message… Moreover I make clear I updated the plugin to the latest version (3.1.1).
After all these tests I did another with the English version of WP 2.7 and then… your plugin works !
So there is a problem with the Fr version of WP and your plugin.
Thx for your help, bye !

And that error message is…?
The error message in French after I activate the plugin : “Vous n’avez pas les droits suffisants pour accéder à cette page.”
The translation : “You don’t have enough rights to access this page.”
Thank you for helping me ! Bye.
“You don’t have enough rights to access this page.”
We have problems with spanish wordpress translation, but in catalonian translation works fine (exactly clone installation).
Language doesn’t affect access rights.

I search the Web and I some people mean the problem comes from the fr_FR.php file located in wp-content/languages. They advise to remove this file…
There is one variable in this file : $wp_default_secret_key
I don’t specifiy any value right now, there’s the default (”thanks to put a sentence here”).
Any idea ?

Thank you Thomas !

After you activated the plugin you can restore the php language file into the languages folder.
Thank you for the plugin. Thank you for updating it to WP 2.7. I have Admin Bar 3.1.1. I believe that the Logout button does not work at this point. I wish I understood how to fix it but I can offer the following information from the WP site:
“The Template Tag wp_logout_url was added in Version 2.7 to provide a nonced URL for logout purposes. If a theme uses a construct such as /wp-login.php?action=logout to offer the user a logout link that code should be updated to use the wp_logout_url. A good example of the usage of wp_logout_url can be seen in the WordPress Default and Classic themes comments.php and comments-popup.php Templates.”
2 questions: Can you provide sample code on how to set up defaults to hide. I see the defaults array with the blank hide array, but not sure what that would look like. In particular, I would like to hide the ‘Tools’ menu by default for everyone. I just need to see what would go inside the ‘hide’ => array(), line
Also, I noticed in looking at the database structure, all user info is stored in the global wp_options table in 1 row. How many potential subscribers could this plugin support before that field is maxed out? Another option would be to store in usermeta, 1 entry for each user…
thanks, nice looking plugin.
1) Honestly can’t remember how that works. Been forever since I looked at that part of this plugin.
2) Yeah, this plugin needs updating. It’s on my todo list, but near the bottom of it.

Change to this file:

then logout works fine.
Changing that one line worked for me. You’re good. I think this is one more thing that Viper007Bond can take off his todo list. Thank you.

I completely forgot it was nonced now. Thanks, I’ll release an update.
Hello, I run WPMU 2.7. Is there a way to take out buttons on the admin bar for everyone on my network? I am using the version of your plugin included in the 2.7 trunk. Any help would be much appreciated. Also is there a way to set default settings for this plugin for everyone when their account gets created.
I run windows xp and am using chrome by the way…
Very good work :)

Hi,
I’d like to report two (minor) issues (I use WP 2.7). First, I did see the tree structure in the plugin’s options page only the first time I called it. On all subsequent calls until now, all checkboxes are neatly listed in the _same_ row, regardless if they are 1st-level or 2nd-level options:
http://www.klein-aber-fein.de/downloads/wordpress-admin-bar-1.jpg
Same effect in all browser I tried (Opera, IE) and with all themes (my own and the WP 2.7 default theme). The bug (?) doesn’t affect the plugins functionality, but it’s definitively annoying…
Second, the admin bar’s “Plugin” tab icon of the little arrow ist trunctated (cut in half) when the blog is viewed with the Opera browser:
