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
