1. Sory, my bad. Didn’t remove .php file from plugins folder after I’ve copied it to mu-plugins folder. Thanks.

2. Hi,

   Great plugin, i really love it! Only one small issue: the option for the admin bar shows up at the profile page (for every user) could this option be removed so that users don’t see this option in their profile page?

   Keep up the great work!

   Regards.

   This was done on purpose so each user could customize what items are shown in their own admin bar.

   If you don’t it shown all users, just change the “read” to “manage_options” in the menu add function.

   Thnx! Works great!
   Massive thnx… I love it!

5. Oh, for a few weeks I didn’t get why instead of “Plugins” menu-item there is “Plugins 2”. I thought, it must be some weird bug… but now I have “Plugins 3” there and finally I do understand! 🙂 Ergo, it would be IMHO very nice to style the number for example with darker color, just make it different. Or am I alone who thinks that number can be little bit confusing?

6. 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.

7. 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 would need to activate the bar on the admin side for every new blog and all existing blog (mass activating the plugin for all blogs does active the bar; this just activates the admin bar plugin its self.

   What can I do ?

   Thanks!

   Move just “wordpress-admin-bar.php” to the “mu-plugins” folder.

9. Thanks Viper for your answer. I’ll let you know how that works on our WPMU installation.

10. 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

11. Yeah, I need to update most of my plugins so that WPMU admins can set up defaults. *adds it to his todo list*

12. Next week – next month – next year?

    Since not that many people use this plugin and a small portion of those people are WPMU users, this plugin is far down my todo list.

    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.

14. Thanks. Btw, this plugin is more than good. Keep on developing it. I plan to use it on all of my future MU’s.

16. One more thing. Any idea on what will happen to this plugin when WP reaches 2.7? Menus look quite different. Thanks.

    The current version of my plugin works just fine on WP 2.7. 🙂

    Using my plugin in the admin area will probably require CSS tweaking though due to the new admin area (i.e. to get the default menus to go away). The main-site part works though.

19. 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?

    No, not currently. However if you’re decently skilled with PHP, you could accomplish this via the plugin’s hooks.

21. On MU.

    Two things i’m not clear about.

    Viper said: modify $this->defaults[‘hide’] array. Is this to show the bar across the blog network and not just on the user’s blog ?

    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 ?

    Thanks all. Quicktags and Admin Bar are great plugins for features lacking in MU. Great work.

    No, my plugin does not support that currently. It will only show on blogs the user has access to. It’s not WPMU aware, it merely just works on WPMU.

    WPMU must implement the Site Admin menu oddly. See above though — it’s not coded specifically for WPMU at this point.

    I need to just recode this basically from scratch to fully support WPMU, but honestly between my new job-of-sorts plus existing work, I’m fairly busy and the motivation just isn’t there for me to spend my free time working on this (I originally wrote this for my own uses and it currently meets my needs). Sorry, but that’s just the way it is.

25. Hi,
    Do the plug-in support Right-To-Left language because i have some problems with it..

    The Menus appear in the left of the page and adds some width pixels to it, although i didn’t open them…How to solve this ?

    Thank you,
    Mena

26. I really don’t have any experience with RTL, so no, I haven’t done anything special to make it more compatible.

    Patches are welcome though. 🙂

27. well, okay, if i can do anything i will try…and if i got it working will tell you

    Thank you

28. Is there any way to have just certain user roles see the Admin Bar?

29. Any chance of adding an option so the normal Admin menu is not hidden even if [x] In the admin area is checked? That may improve the user experience a bit, and make it easier to navigate in the same tab.

    I’m thinking something like this:

    
[x] In the admin area
-> [x] Always show standard WordPress Admin Menu

    …

    Since the menu already exists in the HTML, it’ll actually make it even easier. If I’m in ‘Settings > General’ and want go to ‘Settings > Discussion’, I won’t have to mouseover ‘Settings’ and look for ‘Discussion’… I’ll just click on ‘Discussion’ in the submenu above.

    If [x] Always show standard WordPress Admin Menu is checked, just omit this CSS:

    
[style type="text/css"]#adminmenu, #sidemenu, #submenu { display: none; }[/style]

    …

    Thanks for such a great tool!

30. While using WordPress Admin Bar, some links it assumes are incorrect.

    For instance, I installed the wp-gravatar plugin. When WordPress Admin Bar is installed, it refers to http://xyz.com/wp-admin/gravatar (which produces a 404) rather than the correct http://xyz.com/admin.php?page=gravatar.

    There are several other instances of this happening.

    Any fix for this?

    Gotta edit the current_user_can() check in the plugin. 🙁

    I have to update this plugin a little for WP 2.7, so I’ll try and fit that new feature in.

    Cool! Let me know if you need some testing.

    That part of the plugin will be getting a looking at in time for 2.7 (or shortly after).

37. Hey,

    Any chance you can or show me how to implement a “Login” section to the Bar? I hate using the sidebar login.

    Just modify your theme and add a login link at the top or whatever.

39. 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.

    Any idea’s? This is the upgrades premium plugin from http://premium.wpmudev.org.

    Thanks

    It’s compatible with 2.6.x, but is buggy with 2.7.x.

43. this is one of the most amazing plugins i have found for wordpress mu

    thanks for the great plugin

44. Viper, I thought I would bump my comment. I really would like to start using your admin menu again. Any suggestions to my above post?

    Sounds like there’s either a bug in their code or mine, but there’s no way for me to tell as that plugin is not free and therefore I cannot test myself.

    However that part of this plugin will require updating for WordPress 2.7, so if it is my plugin then it will likely be fixed then.

46. sorry to flood your comments, but I answered your question about which plugins gave me trouble, even linked to their homepage, but my comment disappeared. I guess it got filtered as Ihad 3-4 links inside my comment. Please get it back out of your moderation/spam queue as it also contained user/password combo for a testuser so you could see for yourself….

47. I don’t see it in the queue. Let’s take this to my support forums anyway:

48. Thank you for this plugin. Admin Bar 3.0.2 working well with WPMU 2.6.5 subdirectory setup. Working well also on WPsingle test site webhost WP 2.7-RC1-10026, playing well with many other plugins installed 🙂
    Thanks again. Cheers.

    It has some issues with 2.7 (like everything being on the right) though. I’ll be fixing it soon for 2.7 🙂

50. This is a capability I’ve looking for.

    However, it appears to be broken with WP 2.6.5. A blank bar shows up a the top of the page. Nothing else.

    I’d appreciate it if you could fix it.
