It needs to stay closed until the user opens it again. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b0dcbd4f3b249edb9b64090d16c597dd6b82aeee72cd67b618545884e9cd0677? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Garbage UI](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/garbage-ui/)󠁿 [jonathonklem](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jonathonklem/) February 1, 2018 So terrible I had to log in and warn other would-be users. Couldn’t get it to work. Complete waste of time. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/52e99566c7a5aa08f1cc0901fdc84cf6d5c0f5fcbcbfd30f0b3f292a4d256f2b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Poor user experience](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/poor-user-experience-2/)󠁿 [atikju](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atikju/) September 30, 2017 This was just impossible to use. The UI of the admin page of this plugin is just crap! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d7bc3f962eafe8b197679cad401e3885a45d8098b9e3097108f9e3783b8967b8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thank you for nice plugin !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thank-you-for-nice-plugin-4/)󠁿 [yasko](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yasko/) November 18, 2016 Thank you for nice plugin ! I hope you update it everytime. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/69b147891cada0112bf572a061745701b02a03f6c7cbc02c7eecacb1f582a0d4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good plugin. Recommended.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-recommended-2/)󠁿 [mylawacad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mylawacad/) October 31, 2016 This is a good plugin. If you are looking for very customisable top bars -> go here)) You will spend some time browsing through settings tabs (there are quite a lot of them), but later you will be very happy because all those multi-tabs allow to make your top bar feel & look & behave just like you need it without coding. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/037139dceebaa94b6f0146a9ee2ea95eb149932bf6eb9b49e4adf07a43c03258? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best Site Wide Alert Tool, Can Be IMPROVED](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-site-wide-alert-tool-can-be-improved/)󠁿 [Ava Zinn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aeverinezinn/) September 3, 2016 1 reply A good plugin, yet I believe it can be improved. Let me explain why I gave the plugin four stars instead of five. Although this plugin is mainly helpful for a webmaster that has launched launching three web sites since November 1, 1999. The plugin is being (or will be) implemented on the following web sites I run as the webmaster:[ Links are redacted from reviews] (flagship site, launched on November 1, 1999) INNewsCenter( launched November 1, 1999, closed June 30, 2011; revived in 2015 and has since relegated to a section to [Links are redacted from reviews]) Vote For the Girls Internet Franchise([ Links are redacted from reviews] launched on April 28, 2010) I gave the plug at least three stars for being fully customizable, but I did not give the plugin a fourth star because of appearance and the reason why I cannot give the plugin a fifth star is that when creating a new WP theme, I broke down the [Links are redacted from reviews] file into three sections (top navbar for the search and contact link/ menu, inner navbar for the main navigation menu, and bottom navbar–namely “[Links are redacted from reviews]”–for site alters that uses this plugin). Had the PHP function code for the bottom navbar file worked properly, I would have given the plugin five stars since it is to say the least very f**king confusing that made a big f**king difference between a perfect web site and a s**t site. I hope this helps other webmasters that run WordPress sites. ~Ava Zinn [ Read all 39 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-topbar/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “WP-TopBar” is open source software.
