Plugin: WordPress Admin Bar Improved

WordPress Admin Bar Improved has come a long way since it was updated to work with the new Admin Bar from WordPress 3.1. It went from making the admin bar visible on the homepage and adding a login form to something much more. Now it allows you to hide the admin bar with a slide animation so you can just hide it while navigating the site, without turning it off completely; it’s also added in AJAX search to the search form, as well as AJAX login. It’s also being used more and more by popular WordPress devs around the world. I just recently noticed the plugin was in use over at DevPress. I’ll count that as a win!

Now in WordPress 3.3, there are a bunch of API changes that require updates to the way this plugin functions. With that in mind, the latest version of this plugin, version 3.3.5, will NOT be backward compatible with WordPress 3.2.1 and earlier. If you need this plugin, and you’re using a version of WordPress prior to 3.3, then you need to use version 3.3.4 of this plugin, which can be downloaded here. And just to make sure your site doesn’t break, I’ve added a check to make sure you are using WordPress 3.3, otherwise the latest version of WPABI won’t even activate.

You can grab the latest copy direct from here – Download WordPress Admin Bar Improved

If you want to help test the new version before it goes live, please email me at don at this domain, and I’ll send you a copy! You’ll need to uninstall your current version, and then upload the version I send you.

The new version is live! You can get it in your WordPress Dashboard now.

I’d like to know how I can center this login form as I am using a custom function.php to insert some more links for non-logged in users which I’d like to have on the far left side…
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted April 21, 2011 at 8:21 am
  
  Ovidiu, you can center it by changing up the CSS in the wpabi.css. There are three declarations in that file for style. The bottom one is for #wpadminbar #adminbarlogin. If you swap that css declaration for the following, it will center the item.
  
  #wpadminbar #adminbarlogin {
  height: 18px;
  left: 50%;
  margin: 0 0 0 -175px;
  padding: 3px;
  position: absolute;
  }

perfect. thanks. just what I needed.
now I hope I won’t forget to add the code again if the plugins gets updated :-)

Hi Don,
Great plugin! Is there any way to add twitter and facebook icons/buttons to the wp admin bar improved plugin next to the login form?
Thanks

Thank you, very much for this fine plugin. I think you have a small bug:

I have put my wp in folder so that the wp-instance has the url:

http://example.com/folder/

This works fine, also with multisite, except that the login button send you to:

http://example.com/wp-login.php

Not:

http://example.com/folder/wp-login.php
Reply Flemming Bjerke Posted May 7, 2011 at 4:52 am

Problem solved, in wpabi.php, remove “/” from line 58, the form tag for login.
Reply Ovidiu Posted May 9, 2011 at 5:04 am

can I make another feature request?

the login form displayed within the admin bar, shows: username for user and ***** for pw.
can you change it so when you click into the username field the username is deleted and you can start typing your name without first having to delete the username? same goes for the password field.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted May 9, 2011 at 7:53 am
  
  @Ovidiu – For sure, that will make it into the next version.
  
  @Flemming – Thanks! Will put that fix into the next version.

    New version 3.1.2 released today – includes @Ovidiu’s request for clearing out default values on focus.
    - Reply Ovidiu Posted May 18, 2011 at 12:35 pm
      
      great. what exactly do you mean by:
      
      3.1.2: Added ability to show or hide the admin bar
      
      Is it an option? where does it show? I am asking because I use this plugin on a multisite install and I don’t want to give users any control over the admin bar…
      - Don Gilbert Posted May 19, 2011 at 7:31 am
        
        Sorry about that – should have made it more clear by adding a screenshot – check the post above for the update.
Reply Ovidiu Posted May 19, 2011 at 8:09 am

ok, thanks for clarifying. how about a new feature request: I’d like to be able to only allow logged in users to hide the bar, cause the bar offers some random blog browsing features and more for visitors, would that be possible?
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted May 19, 2011 at 8:37 am
  
  Sure would – but I’d have to make an actual admin panel for the plugin then, and that ~could~ get hairy with multisite – but nothing that couldn’t be worked through. However, that being said, I need to build an admin panel to house other settings, like the menu manager and the like.
  - Reply Ovidiu Posted May 19, 2011 at 11:17 am
    
    I guess you could keep it simple concerning multisite: everything that is not meant for end users check with something like: is_siteadmin or similar (I think that function was replaced) and if false, don’t display…
    
    thanks for considering though.
Reply Don Gilbert Posted May 19, 2011 at 12:28 pm

Another update today – I got excited and decided to do some work on it. This update adds Ajax Search to the admin bar search form. Cool!
Reply Ovidiu Posted May 19, 2011 at 2:37 pm

well, if you need more ideas, how about moving the styling from the hardcoded place in the lugin’s files into your new-to-come options panel for the plugin? ;-)

btw. whats your preferred place for discussions/questions – here or in the wp forums?
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted May 19, 2011 at 2:46 pm
  
  Here is fine – but I prefer the WP forums for support/suggestions/questions. Not a problem though.
  
  As for moving the CSS into the admin page – I’d have to code it so it was a file editor and still keep the css in the wpabi.css file. I don’t want to crowd out the head of anyone’s site with all the CSS for this plugin. It would be like the WordPress theme editor.
Reply Ovidiu Posted May 20, 2011 at 1:58 am

thx. btw. I am having problems with the comments feed of this post using google reader: http://screencast.com/t/O2piTuqiwk which makes following your comments here quite difficult since there is no comment subscription by email.

Hi – I am trying to remove the search feature, the option in settings doesn’t seem to have effect, and in trying to remove code I am not figuring out which lines to remove without there being a critical error.

Also how can I change the background color of the box itself at the top of screen… For example I wish to have blue.

Thank you!
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted June 22, 2011 at 8:42 am
  
  You are trying to remove the AJAX search feature? or the search form altogether?
  
  And which box would you like to change the background color of?
Reply Ovidiu Posted June 27, 2011 at 9:52 am

another note on multisite compatibility: I logged in as a user and they do indeed see the plugin options, just the part for the site admin disappeared :-)

Hi, I left a comment the other day. I guess you did not approve it. Can you please tell me how to get the custom menus to work. I have created many custom menus, and used easy hooks for my footer menus. But your directions say to click the theme location box and add the menu. But it is not there.

All I want to be able to do is add custom links for when my members are logged in they will have links at the top to view.

In an ideal world I would be able to add links to the right of the login form on the admin bar that your plugin provides.

Thank you. Please just let me know if the plugin is no longer supported.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted August 4, 2011 at 10:02 am
  
  Sorry about the late reply – been very busy. The plugin is still being supported. The “Theme Locations” box should be on the Appearance -> Menus page above the “Custom Links” box. If it isn’t showing up, click the “Screen Options” button in the top right, and make sure “Theme Locations” is checked in the dropdown.
  - Reply John Overall Posted August 25, 2011 at 11:09 am
    
    Hi Don,
    
    I am having the same problem in MU the theme locations box is showing but all I get is my regular theme locations not the location for Admin Bar Improved. I am using a StudioPress theme if that make any difference. Or is there something else I need to set to have the location appear.. Thanks for any help..
    - Reply Don Gilbert Posted August 31, 2011 at 5:13 pm
      
      By default, the custom menu feature is disabled, and would therefore need to be enabled for each site. However, I have done no testing with this for multisite, and really have no idea how it will all react.
Reply Sergen Posted July 28, 2011 at 7:34 am

Hi, Great plugin !

But if user enter wrong password, user redirected to /wp-login.php.
İf text (like *wrong username/password) appear, would it not be more beautiful ?
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted August 4, 2011 at 10:03 am
  
  I will add ajax login in an upcoming version.
Reply Erik Stark Posted August 10, 2011 at 2:13 pm

This is quite awesome! Do you know if there’s an easy way to remove certain functionality from the bar once a user is logged in? For instance, all my authors currently only have access to ‘posts’ when they are in the dashboard, but the admin bar still gives them the option to jump to other sections. I know this is a more specific question that many wouldn’t have a need to ever implement but if someone has that’d be great!
Reply Feliz Posted August 15, 2011 at 10:33 am

I am trying to use the login and registration link, but they show up in 2 extra lines outside the bar. Perhaps check for yourself at http://wptest.felizapps.com
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted August 15, 2011 at 4:28 pm
  
  Feliz – you can fix the problem if you put “display : inline; ” on line 49 of the wpabi.css file. In the declaration that begins #wpadminbar #adminbarlogin .adminbar-loginmeta *

    Is this a bug or a feature? Will I have to watch out for my changes to be overwritten with the next update?
    - Reply Don Gilbert Posted August 16, 2011 at 8:13 am
      
      This would be a bug – but I’m not sure what in your template caused it to happen. I haven’t seen it before – but I will do some more testing / checking. I might just add it to the CSS default – but I’ll let you know for sure.
      - Feliz Posted August 17, 2011 at 9:06 am
        
        Version 3.3 fixed the problem.

V3.3.1 When a logged in user navigates away from the site and returns with the remember me option, the admin bar disappears. It leaves an empty box, though.

I like everything I’m reading but when installed on my site there is no login option.

However, logout and enabled menu items do appear in the front office after logging in through the backoffice.

I’ve installed Version 3.3.2 with WordPress 3.1.1.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted September 14, 2011 at 7:58 am
  
  I updated the plugin to work with the upcoming version of WP, and unknowingly broke the plugin in 3.2.1 and earlier. This has been fixed in version 3.3.3.

If Ajax login is disabled the text in the “username” and ” password” fields remains in place when I click on it. This often result in a password pasted or typed next to asterisks by users . Earlier versions didn’t have this problem. Can it be fixed?

  If ajax search, ajax login, and the show/hide toggle are disabled, then the javascript file for the plugin is not loaded. This file also handles the form input fields. Gotta think of a way to better handle this.

Hi Don,
I am trying your plugin on my site and it seems to work very well !!! ;)

I have only a little problem with custom links:
When I go in “Theme Locations” box, i can’t find a “Admin Bar Improved” voice in the dropdown menu….How can I resolve this?

Thanks for any help ;)
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted October 20, 2011 at 1:56 pm
  
  Have you enabled the custom menu in the settings? If so, what version of WordPress are you using (so i can debug.).
Reply Ope Posted October 1, 2011 at 7:50 pm

Hello Nice job so far guys,
Something I would like to see is a way to have the admin bar be hidden upon loading vs just being off? then the user would need to pull the tab to show the bar ? I realize most people want it the other way, but perhaps a toggle to let it show or be hidden , whether logged in or not. Hope that makes sense
Any quick way I can get that to work ?
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted October 20, 2011 at 1:57 pm
  
  The way it works currently (to hold the state between pages) is using cookies. There may be a way to set a cookie from the start, although I would assume that there should an easier way than that to hide it be default – maybe with CSS? Let me look into it for you.
Reply Wayne Heywood Posted October 5, 2011 at 8:20 am

Hi Don,

Loving this plug-in by the way…

One (small) problem.. I’m not sure if this is a plug-in issue or theme!

When I’m on the site, the dropdowns don’t show.. It’s as if they’re hidden behind the page. Got any ideas?

Thanks,
Wayne
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted October 20, 2011 at 1:58 pm
  
  This would be a theme issue – although it *should* be able to be fixed by just adding a z-index to the admin bar as a whole. I’ll check into it.

  In the lang folder, is a wpabi.pot file that you can use with poEdit or other translation applications. A good resource for translating plugins can be found here – Lost in Code – how to translate a WordPress plugin as well as in the WordPress Codex – Translating WordPress page. Hope that helps.
  
  When you finish your translation, send the .mo and .po files that are generated to don@electriceasel.com, and I will include them in the following release of the plugin.

Hi Don, Love your plugin and am planning to use it for my site. However, it is displaying funny on different screen resolution/sizes.

1. Image:- http://i55.tinypic.com/67408n.jpg
Can the bar be center/made aligned with the main width of the website template?

2. Image 2:- http://i56.tinypic.com/34fmfew.jpg
When viewing a single post …there develops a wide gap between the story/article and the right sidebar. However, when viewed in the small size screen resolution this problem is not there.

Can you please refer me a solution as I love the look of your plugin.

- Reply Don Gilbert Posted October 21, 2011 at 11:06 am
  
  Lily – these are all theme specific issues. However, I can help you out. On the first one, that would take some modifications to the plugin specifically for your site, but would be easy to do. I could make those modifications and send you a custom version of the plugin if you would like. On the second one, that’s a simple CSS fix. On line 83 of the style.css for your theme, add a width:960px to the #wrapper declaration. That will fix the problem you are having.
Reply Lily Posted October 21, 2011 at 2:52 pm

Hi Don, I tried the second one and it works perfectly fine. Like every mother I was so worried thinking my ‘baby’ might not get a ‘cure’ for the issue :) Thanks a ton.

As for the first one, I would very much love to try out.

Hi Don,

I am an amateur wordpress user. I am designing a site for my personal use. I am using your wordpress plugin. Can you please help me with two things

1) I dont want the search thing in the admin bar. Can you kindly tell me how to remove that.
2) when a user is logged in. It shows avatar and user name and when he clicks username it shows edit profile and log out. Can this Edit Profile and log out be shown in admin bar itself and also I want it to be right Aligned( meaning the log out should be shown in the top right corner of the website.

Can you kindly tell me what code should I modify.

  Rearranging the default items isn’t really possible in this plugin. Although maybe that could be something in the future that becomes available.
  
  To answer your question about the user menu being in the top right, instead of the left – that’s being fixed in WordPress itself in version 3.3. If you want it now though – you could update to the beta version.

Like several other people here, I can not get the “Admin Bar Improved” location to show up on my theme locations. All I have is “Primary Menu”. I use the Thematic framework. Nobody here who has mentioned this has claimed that their problem was solved. This is a pretty big issue. Can I please have some help?
Reply Charles Posted October 30, 2011 at 5:16 pm

I made a comment some time ago that apparently wasn’t approved. I’m using WordPress 3.2.1. After activating the Custom Menu Items, there is no option under Theme Locations for Admin Bar Improved. It seems as if I’m not the only one with this problem. It’s frustrating enough, but what’s more frustrating is going to this support page (this page) and having my (not rude) comment about it unapproved and/or deleted, without even an e-mail response. It’s fine by me to not approve my comment; if you do not wish to approve my comment here, please e-mail me a response. Just saying “well, I can’t help you” is fine; it will at least allow me to move on and try to come up with a solution myself. There’s few things more frustrating than looking for basic functioning support when there’s nothing to tell you whether people are listening to you or not. I’m not accusing anyone of doing such– just saying that without feedback, I don’t know what I should be doing or not doing to fix the problem.

  This is a very busy company – with a whole lot of clients, and I am not able to check in to comments on the blog as often as I would like. I’m sorry that your comment was not approved straight away – we have very strict commenting rules – namely – every comment must be manually approved.
  
  To answer your question, I have seen that many people are having this issue. The main problem is because they are either using a theme that doesn’t natively support menus, or another menu related issue. However, this has been addressed and will be fixed in the next update – due out over thanksgiving weekend.
Reply Tyler Reinhard Posted October 31, 2011 at 7:54 pm

Hey! Amazingly useful plugin. Hopefully, I’ll throw a few bucks your way once my site goes live. I’m using the plugin MOSTLY to make styling the admin bar less hacky, and for that it is incredibly useful!!

Feature Suggestions:

* Select which user-roles can see the admin bar by checkbox // hide for all others

* Toggle hide automatically upon login

* Search Disabler

Also, for the people worried about losing CSS info on the updates: put your custom CSS into your in-theme stylesheets, and just delete the CSS styles provided with the update.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted November 23, 2011 at 2:08 pm
  
  Those are good suggestions. I need to rework the way the admin bar is either shown or not shown. I think the checkbox idea would work well.
Reply Lily Posted November 5, 2011 at 3:48 am

Hi Don, I’ve been trying to add menu in the admin bar but it shows up in the navigation bar instead. I tried this following your guide on how to add any menu on the Improved Admin Bar.

In fact, what i was trying to do was change/redirect the default Registration link http://www.mothersforum.org/wp-login.php?action=register to
http://www.mothersforum.org/wp-login.php?action=register&view=forum&accept=true

As you can see I want my visitors to register from the Forum Registration and not the default WP registration link

Reply Bali Rakhra Posted November 10, 2011 at 1:03 pm

Hi

Love your plugin. I’m glad someone is making a admin area for the WP menu bar.

I had a slight issue with one of the functions. I disabled the admin bar for logged-out users in the settings page, but this disabled the admin bar for ALL users whether logged in or not.

I looked in the wpabi.php file and changed the code on line 61 from:

if($this->options['show_bar'])
{
add_filter( ‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_true’ );
}

to:

if (is_user_logged_in() && $this->options['show_bar'])
{
add_filter( ‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_true’ );
}

And now it works. (loads for logged in users, but not for logged-out users)

Was this an error or have I misinterpreted something?

Cheers.

Bali

  That would solve your issue, but I still need to fix the plugin itself. It should be an option of “Show to Everyone All the Time”, “Show to Just Logged In Users Everywhere”, or “Show just in Admin” – I have to think about it.

  I’m not totally sure just yet – I need to figure out what needs to be done to accomplish that. What I’m envisioning is the ability for a multi-site admin to set network-wide settings, with the option to allow users to change/overide the settings themselves. Maybe you could look into that?

Hi Don. Testing your plugin locally and spotted two possible bugs:

1. When Ajax Login is Enabled, regardless of whether login form is present in admin bar, “closs” is added under the search form. It disappears if you click on it. I think this “closs” text is from the Ajax Search results box. Although, it’s misspelled.

2. After logging in using the Admin Bar login form, the BuddyPress Account Menu tab isn’t displayed immediately. It’ll only display after a refresh.

Keep up the good work!

I am using WP 3.2.1 multisite enabled.
After I activate the plugin, I dont see any WPABI menu under the settings tab. In the readme.txt says there is one. Where is it?

  @gixty – This should be fixed in the next version. Are you planning on upgrading your MultiSite to 3.3?
Reply Aleksi Ceder Posted December 13, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Hi Don,

I hope you’re doing well. Seems that wpadminbar 3.3.4 is not working on WP3.3. Do you have any plans on new version with WP3.3 support? Thank you for wonderful plugin.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted December 15, 2011 at 11:36 am
  
  I am getting ready to release the update for 3.3. There were some API changes to the WP_Admin_Bar class, and I had to contend with those. As such, the next version is ONLY going to support v 3.3, and all previous versions of WordPress need to stick with this plugin at version 3.3.4.
Reply Dave Posted December 16, 2011 at 2:51 am

Plugin dont work with WordPress 3.3. Many functions dont work.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted December 16, 2011 at 8:14 am
  
  Dave, if you read the post above, you can see that we are aware that it doesn’t fully function with 3.3. You will also see that we are offering to anyone who would like to the opportunity to test the 3.3.5 pre-release version of this plugin, that is compatible with WP 3.3. Would you like me to send you a copy of that?

You do not have permission to access this page.
This is the message when I try to use the link http://www.tetavoip.it/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wpabi the setting of the plugin, vers.3.3.5.
the problem was born when I switched to version 3.3 wp multisite no problem imagining that because the standard version of WP 3.3 everything went perfectly.
can you give me the information I have no way to solve most access to the configuration of the plugin after activating the multisite.
thanks in advance for your response.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 6, 2012 at 4:20 pm
  
  Not sure why that’s happening. All I can say though, is that I still have yet to test this with MultiSite, as stated in the readme. I’ll look into it and hopefully get it fixed by next version.

Reply Jørgen Skår Fischer Posted December 26, 2011 at 7:31 pm

Hey there.

Great plugin, and awesome followup on the comments!

I noticed however in your 3.3.5 version that a link is broken. Might just be my site (due to the fact that i have WP installed in a folder and not on root), but in the overview of all the plugins the link to “settings” does not include my folder name, and therefore is broken.

Another thing i noticed is that it does not follow my language setup either. It is called “settings” , and my WP-language files default should be “instillinger” (nb_NO)

My last thought: If you could implement a feature so it could be hidden upon first load for fresh users, that would be awsome!

Reply Jørgen Skår Fischer Posted December 28, 2011 at 1:57 am

Hey there. Thanks for an awesome plugin!

I have a few suggestions about features to add, and the looks of the login form.

1. The possibility to decide weather the bar should start out hidden or not

Layout:
I think if you would match the “remember me”, “lost your password” etc. of the login form to the buttons of the navigation (13px size, borders on each side etc so it looks like a normal item on the bar) it would improve the looks :)

Do you have this hosted on a sourceforge or googlecode or anything like that? I would love to make a fork of it, or add to the original project if you don’t have the time.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 6, 2012 at 4:25 pm
  
  I have it on github, but am still working out taking pull requests and all that. If you make some changes that you think are beneficial to the development of the plugin, I’ll take them and integrate into the next version after review. Just email the updated code to don at electriceasel.com. Thanks!
Reply Mike Posted January 11, 2012 at 6:01 pm

Great plugin. One small thing I’m trying to accomplish though is to hide the custom menu for visitors (logged out), but I’m unable to achieve this result. Not the whole admin bar… just the custom menu. How can I alter the code to make this work?

Thanks!
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 13, 2012 at 10:40 am
  
  Great idea! I’ll add that as an option in the next version.
  
  For you immediate needs, you can accomplish this by editing line 83 of wpabi.php. Where it says:
```
if($this->options['custom_menu'])
```
  change it so it says:
```
if($this->options['custom_menu'] && is_user_logged_in())
```
  That should do the trick.
Reply Louis Posted January 11, 2012 at 7:36 pm

I don’t know if your plugin does this, but it would be nice if I could integrate the website nav menu into it. Or at lease the pages.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 13, 2012 at 10:36 am
  
  Currently, you would have to just add all your pages to a new custom menu, and then assign that menu to the Admin Bar Improved location.

Hello

I have installed the plugin and I can see it activated in plugin list but I just can not find it where i can set it up I looked everywhere in settings and is not there. I am using buddypress Could it be reason I do not see settings. I can see the admin bar and has hide and show tabs

- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 13, 2012 at 10:41 am
  
  I have not tested the integration with buddypress, so it’s possible that that is why it is not working. I’ll look into this.
Reply Louis Posted January 11, 2012 at 9:32 pm

Installed, activated, I see the plugin should do what I want. However, I see in your to do list it says to make it work with multisite. So, I guess it doesn’t work with multisite. How unfortunate.

I can’t use it anyway because I use multisite. I thought there was something wrong because clicking on settings under the plugin, I get an error saying “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” I will have to find something else or wait until you make it work with multisite.. I was so looking forward to using this plugin.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 13, 2012 at 10:43 am
  
  You’re right, it doesn’t currently work (as far as I know) with multisite. I have not tested it at all in that regard, and can’t say one way or another. If you would be willing to test it out for me, that’d be great. What version of multisite are you using?
Reply Ovidiu Posted January 12, 2012 at 2:23 am

after upgrading to the latest WP version and the latest version of your plugin the bar is kinda lost to me. It seems its being pushed to the left? would you mind having a look what happened here? se link in my comment here please.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 13, 2012 at 10:47 am
  
  I see that the menu items are not showing up in your toolbar. I looked at the html behind it, and there are no items there. I wonder if you just need to reassign the menu to the admin bar location.
  - Reply Ovidiu Posted January 15, 2012 at 3:23 am
    
    now I am totally confused, how would I reassign anything? I used to just network-activate this plugin for the whole multisite installation. just realized it is working just fine for all sites except for the main site, that is the one I linked to above.
    - Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 19, 2012 at 4:04 pm
      
      If you were using a custom menu, I was thinking maybe reassigning that to the theme location would help. But as you know, this plugin hasn’t really been tested with multisite and isn’t guaranteed to work with it. I’m going to set up a dev environment to do this, but I need to find the time.
Reply Chris Lowry Posted January 12, 2012 at 10:27 am

Hey,

Thanks for this plugin. I know providing the endless support on here can be draining.

Wanted to ask: could there be a way to add a custom message in the admin bar? Either in the adminbar settings, or through a functions.php bit? I need to add a “Not a member? Why not join here…”

Bless,
Chris
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 13, 2012 at 10:44 am
  
  You could potentially add it as a custom menu item, but then it would always show up, so maybe not. I’ll look at this for you.
Reply Majed Posted January 14, 2012 at 2:34 am

I would like to add black vertical line after login button, remember me, lost my password and Register. I am talking about a line like the one you added after the WordPress Logo. Could you help me do this, please?

Also, I suggest including a section in the setting of your plugin enabling the user to choose order of the sections in the admin bar.
Reply Majed Posted January 14, 2012 at 9:38 am

What about RTL direction lanaguges? Is it supported? I tryed it but it messed up my admin page and turn the admin bar LTR direction, Could you help,
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 15, 2012 at 12:01 pm
  
  RTL language support is not integrated yet. I’ll have to look into that. For your other questions, it would be accomplished with CSS. If you are looking to make those things more like buttons though, those would have to be custom menu items.
  
  I am re-thinking how to accomplish this plugin better. Many more people than I ever thought have downloaded and started using it, so I need to up my support and feature set to meet the needs.
Reply Bruce Posted January 21, 2012 at 3:53 pm

Let me start by saying… VERY nicely done! This plugin does nearly everything you can think of, and is well written.

Three of the ONLY things I did not see it could do were:

(1) The ability to change the ‘Howdy’ message (maybe just a field to allow input of a replacement?)

(2) The ability to remove the links under the WordPress logo, WITHOUT removing the logo (I do see that option already exists)
Maybe:
// Remove WordPress links
add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘wps_removewp_admin_bar’, 100 );
function wps_removewp_admin_bar( $wp_admin_bar ) {
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( ‘about’ );
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( ‘wporg’ );
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( ‘documentation’ );
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( ‘support-forums’ );
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( ‘feedback’ );
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( ‘view-site’ );
}

(3) The ability to quickly easily substitute an alternative logo to replace the WP logo

Again, very well done and thanks!!
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 26, 2012 at 12:51 pm
  
  Thanks for the kind words. I’ve put a lot of work into this plugin, and it’s nice to know others appreciate it.
  
  Also, thanks for the great suggestions! It never occred to me to allow people to change the ‘Howdy’ message – that’s pretty easy to integrate. I’ll get it in the next release. For the second item, I have an idea on how to manage all links within in the menu, but that will take some time to code out and should meet your needs. Your last suggestion should be easy to implement as well.
Reply Sebastian Posted January 27, 2012 at 4:16 am

Hello.

very nice plugin. Exactly what I was search for. Thanks!

Is there a way to “initialize” the adminbar for logged out users to be hidden?
Then the user could click on the show link and then log in.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted January 27, 2012 at 4:28 pm
  
  Yes. You can accomplish this by editing the javascript file.
  
  Where it says:
```
if($.cookie('wpabi_show') == 0)
{
	$('#wpadminbar').css('top', '-28px');
	$('body').css('margin-top', '-28px');
	$('#wpabi_min').text('Show');
}
```
  Change it so it says this instead. (Just adding the OR to the if statement)
```
if($.cookie('wpabi_show') == 0 || $('body.logged-in').length == 0)
{
	$('#wpadminbar').css('top', '-28px');
	$('body').css('margin-top', '-28px');
	$('#wpabi_min').text('Show');
}
```

Hello,

I work for a non-profit and trying to use your plugin on this new website I am building. after activation nothing appears on the frontend, the backend did had some changes. The theme I using had a top bar initially that I disabled.

Would be grateful if you can advise. I have very little knowledge about coding.

Thank you!
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted February 10, 2012 at 1:10 pm
  
  If you disabled the top bar in the theme, then that might be what’s overriding the setting for the plugin.

Don, I’m unable to logout using the admin bar improved. Surely it’s a simple fix, but I don’t have any idea how to go about it. Thanks for any info.
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted February 10, 2012 at 9:21 am
  
  Did you remove the “My Account” menu from the admin bar? If so, there’s your issue. In the latest version of WordPress, the logout link is only in the My Account menu – so if you remove it, you can’t log out. Just go to your settings and re-enable the My Account menu item.
Reply Ryan Posted February 9, 2012 at 12:14 pm

Don, very cool widget. I like it very much, good job.

Is there a way that I can disable the menu item if someone is logged in and keep it enabled if they are logged out? I am sure this is very simple but having difficulty finding it.

Keep up the good work. Thank you so very much. Ryan
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted February 10, 2012 at 9:23 am
  
  Looking to implement that in an upcoming version. Not able to do so yet.
  - Reply Ryan Posted February 10, 2012 at 12:48 pm
    
    Don,
    What I ended up doing is adding a ‘!’ in front of is_user_logged_in() so the code looks like this:
    
    if($this->options['custom_menu'] && ! is_user_logged_in())
    {
    $this->add_custom_menu();
    }
    
    It works like a charm! However, I noticed that until the page is refreshed the menu continues to stay there.
    
    Is there a way that when the user clicks Login button that the whole page would refresh? I think that will solve my issue.
    
    Again, excellent work. Thank you very much. Ryan

Hi! This is a very nice plugin, just what I was looking for… the ability to quickly show and hide the admin bar without having to go to my profile… AND even better, the ability to add a menu to the admin bar. The fact that the menu is crated using the standard Menu system is GREAT!

I’m not certain, but I think I’m seeing the following. When the using the plugin to hide the admin bar, when it slides up and out of sight, the page regains the space that it was occupying and shifts up… all as expected and desired. But I’m finding that the tiled background image does not also get shifted up, and so the space where the admin bar was now shows the bottom edge of a “previous” tile. IOW, what appeared to be (and is supposed to be) the first iteration of the tiled image remains shifted down by the height of the admin bar, and that space is filled in by the bottom of an earlier iteration that would normally not be there.

I hope that made sense! :)

This isn’t a problem when the bar is disabled — the page hasn’t been changed, and it displays correctly. But it’s a bit distracting, especially as I’m using a gradient-like bg image, and so there’s a very visible narrow band at the top of the page.

Anyway, thank you for this plugin!

Have a great weekend.

I can also use the custom menu as a widget, but I don’t see any place where I can possibly stick that so that it would show up on the admin bar. Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?
2. any word on removing the “howdy”?

- Reply Don Gilbert Posted April 18, 2012 at 8:27 am
  
  For the custom menu in the admin bar, you just have to enable it on the Admin Bar Improved admin screen, and then navigate to Appearance -> Menus. Create the menu that you want to place in the admin bar, and then save it. Now, in the “Theme Locations” box on the left, there should be a location labeled “Admin Bar Improved”. From that dropdown, select the menu that you just created.

Hi Don,

Love the plugin, it’s save me a lot of time in having to code the admin bar from scratch. I just have a couple of questions. Is there any way to force the page to refresh or redirect to another location once a user logs in through the admin bar? I have a welcome message that displays once a user logs in and noticed it doesn’t display unless I manually refresh the page.

Also, if a user enters the wrong info a pop up messages opens stating the error, is there any way that I can have the error to go to my personal “error” page? Maybe this could be a future feature? Thanks again.

Also, what would it take to add a button to allow users to login with facebook or twitter?
- Reply Don Gilbert Posted August 17, 2012 at 8:52 am
  
  You can turn off the AJAX login in the options. The login for will still show, but it won’t AJAX refresh.
  
  Redirecting to a custom page on error is not available right now. If I get enough requests for that, I’ll see what I can do.
  
  Ability to login with Facebook or Twitter would be a massive undertaking requiring time that I don’t have available right now. However, I’m willing to work with someone to implement this if you know anyone.

  Looks like you have it set to 40px already. If you are wanting the log in and register text to be in the center of the blue bar, you need to set the line-height css property to 40px as well.
  
  #wpadminbar > ul > li a { line-height: 40px; }

Don,
Any progress with multisite capability? I’m not looking for anything special other than it to work with multisite and have the same ability to use custom menus like the existing plugin with its features.

Look forward to your response. I’m having a heck of time finding something that works, and since you’ve done such a nice job with this so far, just hoping you decided to expand on it a bit.

Thanks in advance.

  Give me a rundown of what does work for you with the current plugin, and what it’s missing. I don’t have a multisite install to test it on, and since I’m not that interested in using it on multisite, I don’t feel qualified to set the requirements.

Hi, Just wanted to say that I’ve tried other login options and this one, by far, is the most productive! Thank you. I have two questions:

1) How do I go about changing the login bar’s color? I’m re-stating Angelo’s question above.

2) I’m seeing an issue where the bar doesn’t “remember me” and all info has to be re-entered. What might be causing this issue?

Thanks again, will definitely be sending money your way (this plugin deserves it).

  Some basic CSS should have no issue getting the customizations you need. I haven’t looked at this in a while, but I should update it and put some better usage docs together.
