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 in the WordPress repository that hides your toolbar and enables you to make it appear, and disappear, using a variety of methods.
- 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.
Your "Show Toolbar when viewing site" profile setting must be enabled.
Show Me The Admin has filters setup to allow you to tweak the plugin.
/**
* Filters the "Show Me The Admin" settings.
*
* @param array - $settings - the original settings
* @return array - the filtered settings
*/
add_filter( 'show_me_the_admin_settings', 'filter_show_me_the_admin_settings' );
function filter_show_me_the_admin_settings( $settings ) {
// Change the settings
// For example, change the phrase you type to show the toolbar, default is 'showme'
$settings[ 'show_phrase' ] = 'hello';
// Or change the phrase you type to hide the toolbar, default is 'hideme'
$settings[ 'hide_phrase' ] = 'goodbye';
// Return the settings
return $settings;
}
/**
* Filters the phrase to show the toolbar.
*
* @param string - $show_phrase - the original phrase
* @return string - the filtered phrase
*/
add_filter( 'show_me_the_admin_show_phrase', 'filter_show_me_the_admin_show_phrase' );
function filter_show_me_the_admin_show_phrase( $show_phrase ) {
// Change the phrase, default is 'showme'
$show_phrase = 'hello';
// Return the phrase
return $show_phrase;
}
/**
* Filters the phrase to hide the toolbar.
*
* @param string - $hide_phrase - the original phrase

add_filter( 'show_me_the_admin_hide_phrase', 'filter_show_me_the_admin_hide_phrase' );
function filter_show_me_the_admin_hide_phrase( $hide_phrase ) {
// Change the phrase, default is 'hideme'
$hide_phrase = 'hello';
// Return the phrase
return $hide_phrase;
}
/**
* Filters the text for the "Show Me The Admin"
* dropdown login button.

* @param string - $text - the original text

*/
add_filter( 'show_me_the_admin_login_text', 'filter_show_me_the_admin_login_text' );
function filter_show_me_the_admin_login_text( $text ) {
// Change the text, default is 'Login to WordPress'
