“View History” now in upper left

    I’m sure that I’m missing something, but I swear before the May update, “View History” was not in the upper left of the admin panel (when you hover over your site name), only “Visit Site” was. It is there, however, and there’s no toggle for it in “Show history” in Settings. I don’t see this mentioned in the release notes, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not there.

    Thanks

    It’s been there for very long time actually. According to the git history it was added in…. 2016! But there is a filter to disable it (simple_history/add_admin_bar_menu_item).

    There are also features like Stealth Mode that can have made it invisible for other users than admins.

    Perhaps you just switched from a site where the plugin was not installed to a site where it was? Or using users with different roles? Other that this I can’t explain it…

    It could have been worse: 20 years, for example. I have no explanation.

    Anyway, I also wasn’t aware of that particular filter, but it works great, thanks:

    add_filter( 'simple_history/add_admin_bar_menu_item', '__return_false' );
