WP MiniBar

Screenshots

This is a very simple plugin to hide/show the WordPress toolbar in the front-end of the site, while leaving it alone in the admin section. The toolbar is hidden by default, and clicking ‘Show’ in the top left makes it appear. It can be hidden again by pressing ‘Hide’. The plugin was inspired by the originally excellent but now abandoned ‘Admin Bar Minimiser’ plugin written by David Gwyer. The javascript and css styles used by this plugin are based on that code, but aside from that this plugin is a much more limited (and lightweight) implementation of the concept. There are no settings, no ability to minimise in the admin screen, and no other frills. The main reason to use this plugin instead of ‘Admin Bar Minimiser’ is that this works with sites that can use SSL, and that one doesn’t.
