Show Me The Admin

The WordPress toolbar makes it really easy to move between viewing your site and editing your site but sometimes the toolbar itself can be intrusive.

“Show Me The Admin” is a WordPress plugin that hides your toolbar and enables you to make it appear, and disappear, using a variety of methods.

Features include:

• Hide your toolbar and make it appear by typing a phrase
• Hide your toolbar and show WordPress button in top left corner to click to appear
• Hide your toolbar and make it appear when mouse hovers near top of window

Show Me The Admin is also multisite-friendly. Please use the Show Me The Admin GitHub repo to contribute, submit issues, and suggest features.

Your “Show Toolbar when viewing site” profile setting must be enabled.
