New: Better Admin Bar 5.0
The WordPress admin bar, reimagined
Replace the admin bar with a clean quick access panel, or hide it for specific user roles. A better way around WordPress for you and your clients.
PRO from $39 a year. The free version is on WordPress.org.
Try it: open the panel and click a widget.
Features
Everything the admin bar should have been
Free on WordPress.org. Set up in a minute under Settings → Better Admin Bar.
Quick access panel
A small floating button on your website. One click and the dashboard, the customizer, a new post and "Edit this page" are right there.
Drag & drop widgets
Pick the widgets, put them in any order and give them your own names.
Your colors & icons
Choose from 2,000+ line icons with a searchable picker, set the colors and the icon size, and watch the live preview as you go.
Put it anywhere
Drag the panel to any edge of the screen. It remembers where you left it.
Hide it per user role
Remove the admin bar for subscribers, customers or any other role with a few checkboxes.
Export & import
Set the panel up once, download your settings as a file and import them on your next client website.
Agencies & freelancers
Made for client websites
Your clients don't need the full admin bar. They need "Edit this page" and a way back to the dashboard. The quick access panel gives them exactly that, in a friendly layout that doesn't cover the website.
Fewer "how do I edit this?" emails for you.

I've been using Better Admin Bar for a while on my client sites and it works a treat! The Pro version is an absolute must-have for anyone creating sites for clients! Bargain for the price and the features it gives! Makes life so much easier for the client and reduces support queries for you!

This is a great plugin which keeps getting better. The Pro version is well worth buying for the extended level of control. If you're running sites for clients and want to give users a simple means of accessing some key admin functions or even a page-builder aware direct way to edit page / post / CPT content, then you should check it out.

I had a play and I've got to say that I really like the fact that it takes on a single job and makes it easier. I can see this being really handy for clients who don't know when to use the Page Builder and when to use the Block editor.

This plugin is great because it allows me to quickly access the areas of the website that I need to get to. No more searching through the admin bar to find what I need. A no-brainer to install on all of my websites :)

This fantastic plugin makes it so much less complicated for my clients to browse and edit their sites. I highly recommend the Pro version, worth every penny.

FAQ
Good to know
Who sees the quick access panel?
Logged-in editors and administrators, on the frontend of your website. Visitors never see it. With PRO you decide per widget which user roles see it.
Can I use the panel and keep the admin bar?
Yes. The panel and the admin bar settings work independently. Remove the admin bar only if you want to.
Does it change the admin bar inside the dashboard?
No. All settings apply to the frontend of your website only.
Can I install PRO next to the free version?
Yes. PRO includes everything from the free version and takes over your settings. While PRO is active, the free version switches itself off.
Are my settings deleted when I delete the plugin?
Only if you check "Remove all data when the plugin is deleted" under Misc. Deactivating the plugin always keeps them.
