Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/azanumer/wp-admin-bar-customizer/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Brand the WordPress admin bar — add your own links, remove the clutter, set a custom colour, and hide the bar for selected roles. No code needed; everything lives on one settings page.

Features

  • Custom colour — pick your brand colour; hover states are darkened automatically.
  • Remove items — hide the WordPress logo menu, site name, comments bubble, + New menu, updates bubble, search form, My Account menu and more.
  • Custom links — up to 20 of your own links (support page, analytics, client dashboard), top-level or nested under an existing menu node, optionally opening in a new tab.
  • Hide the bar for roles — subscribers and customers never see the front-end bar. Administrators are never hidden, so you can always get back to the settings page.
  • Safe — only manage_options users can open the page; all saves are nonce-checked and every value is sanitized (hex colours, URL-escaped links, allow-listed node IDs).

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate it from Plugins.
  3. Go to Settings → Admin Bar.

Notes

  • Custom link IDs are generated from the link title, so two links with the same title would collide — give each link a distinct title.
  • Parent node IDs you can nest under: site-name, my-account, new-content, or any node ID added by another plugin.
  • Uninstalling deletes the single wabc_settings option.
