Overview

About this plugin

Simple plugin to hide the annoying profile dropdown that opens when you accidentally hover the “Howdy” item in the admin bar. A plain Log Out link is added in its place.

0 the plugin can also get the whole admin bar out of your way on the front end of your site:

  • Click the small arrow at the far right of the admin bar to remove the bar completely, including the space it reserves at the top of the page.
  • While the bar is hidden, hover the top-right corner of the window and a small arrow button appears. Click it to bring the admin bar back.
  • Your choice is remembered per browser, and applied before the page is painted, so there is no flash of the bar on the next page load.
  • The admin-bar body class is removed while the bar is hidden, so theme styles that offset sticky headers for the admin bar no longer apply.

The hide/show feature only affects the front end. The WordPress dashboard is left untouched.
