<h4>Features include:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hide your toolbar and make it appear by typing a phrase</li>

<h3>Filters</h3>
<p>Show Me The Admin has filters setup to allow you to tweak the plugin.</p>
<h4>Filter the settings</h4>
<pre><code>/**
 * Filters the "Show Me The Admin" settings.
 *
 * @param   array - $settings - the original settings

 */
add_filter( 'show_me_the_admin_settings', 'filter_show_me_the_admin_settings' );
function filter_show_me_the_admin_settings( $settings ) {

    // Change the settings

    // For example, change the phrase you type to show the toolbar, default is 'showme'
    $settings[ 'show_phrase' ] = 'hello';

    // Or change the phrase you type to hide the toolbar, default is 'hideme'
    $settings[ 'hide_phrase' ] = 'goodbye';

    // Return the settings
    return $settings;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Filter the phrase to show the toolbar</h4>
<pre><code>/**

}
</code></pre>

<pre><code>/**

 */
add_filter( 'show_me_the_admin_login_text', 'filter_show_me_the_admin_login_text' );

 // Return the text
 return $text;
}
</code></pre>


Show Me The Admin

A well-conceived and well-executed tweak of the admin bar that many users will love. Nice work!



Featured on iThemes Training Plugin Roundup, March 2016

Such a simple, well executed idea that solves a real point of frustration.  Thank you!



Awesome plugin

I really like how well thought out this is. Adding the "notify users of this option" setting is a really thoughtful touch. I also really like the customized keystrokes. Useful, and flexible and just gets the job done right.
Thanks!



Well thought out and executed

Throughout development, I used to keep a second browser open where I remained logged out. Doing so allowed me to view a clean page without the admin bar. This plugin gives me the best of both worlds, an admin bar that is available when I need it, but gone when I don't. The plugin settings offer just enough flexibility so there is sure to be a toggle method that works for you.

There when you need it, gone when you don't

Hides your admin toolbar and enables you to make it appear, and disappear, using a variety of methods.
