Admin Bar Editor – Toolbar Customization with User Role based access & Custom menus

The only thing better than this plugin is the entire suite. While this is the best on my list for custom admin bars, it is a whole new level when working with the rest of their plugins.

I manage several client sites, and the default WordPress Admin Bar is always a mess with plugin notifications and useless links. Admin Bar Editor is the perfect solution to clean this up.

It allows me to hide specific items based on user roles, change icons, and even add custom shortcuts (like a “Get Support” link) directly in the top bar. The UI is modern, fast, and doesn’t drag down the backend performance.

If you run an agency or care about White Labeling, this plugin is a must-have. 5 stars!

If you have lots of plugins, which’s the usual situation for someone who’d want a plugin like this, occasionally there’d be conflicts ranging from mild annoyance to deployment delaying. Support is excellent, however, so these issues always come to pass. I guess all of the low ratings are simply a result of poor timing because the plugin does indeed work, and work well when it does.

Helps remove the clutter of those plugins that add stuff in admin bar. I think that if you have a plugin, there should be an option to not have something up there. After a while there is too much stuff there.

I’m not easily installing plugins, but this one is seemingly one of the necessary and really useful plugins.

The admin bar on one of my websites recently started to overflow with admin bar menu entries (which even ended up in 2 lines). Additionally, I didn’t use most of the admin bar menu items.

It’s really weird that WordPress so far doesn’t offer any option to control the admin bar (nor the admin menu), as logically many plugins try to place their entries there – until it’s overflowing and confusing.

The only option WordPress currently offers is to completely “unshow” the admin bar, which again is unpractical for not having an “edit this page” link etc. available.

Additionally, it disturbed me that the admin bar is placed at the top of the website, where I already have all the browser and website menus.

This nice plugin does exactly what I was looking for: the admin bar entries can easily be changed (even differently for backend and frontend!) – and the admin bar can even be moved from top to bottom.

One idea for the future: another nice option would be to show the admin bar as a floating, expandable button (to free up the bottom space, which would make it even easier to check a website’s design).

And you should get rid of the very old negative reviews, as they are obviously out of place or “fake”!

Thanks for the great work and please keep this nice little plugin up-to-date and secure!
