RS Admin Bar (WordPress Plugin)

This plugin customizes many of the default admin bar nodes and reorganizes them beneath the site name dropdown menu. It includes menu items from the dashboard for easy access to common pages on the backend.

To correctly populate the settings menus, an administrator simply needs to visit the dashboard once a month. This is not strictly required, but dashboard menu items won't be listed until this happens.
