<p>Admin Bar toggle adds a toggle switch to show/hide the admin bar on the front-end. This is much less intrusive, but still allows you to use all the useful features of the admin bar.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hides the admin bar on the front-end by default. This is much less intrusive.</li>
<li>Adds a small toggle button in the top right to activate the admin bar.</li>
<li>Toggle remains in place to hide it again.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>This plugin assumes that the admin bar is active, and hasn’t been disabled in your user profile</strong></p>


Admin Bar Toggle

If your theme has a top menu bar, this plugin is very useful to stop the wordpress Admin bar interfering with your review of the design but keep it handy to use when needed

very useful and still works

Thanks for the plugin! Keep up the good work!
