This is much less intrusive, but still allows you to use all the useful features of the admin bar. * Hides the admin bar on the front-end by default. This is much less intrusive. * Adds a small toggle button in the top right to activate the admin bar. * Toggle remains in place to hide it again. **This plugin assumes that the admin bar is active, and hasn’t been disabled in your user profile** ## Installation 1. Upload the `admin-bar-toggle` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or search for **Admin Bar Toggle** in your WordPress admin area. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Once activated you will see the toggle on the front-end of your website. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7e82baf713b85227eec26a6bf3ec154b283c11d5aa1f9dcbfd6aed393fadbbe0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thumbs up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-up-116/)󠁿 [wp.kytten](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpkytten/) August 10, 2018 Thanks for the plugin!
