Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

The WordPress admin bar is powerful — but it gets cluttered quickly. SimpleBar exists to give you back control of your WordPress admin experience.

SimpleBar is a free, lightweight tool that lets you hide what you don’t need and keep your workflow tidy.

SimpleBar gives you:

* Custom colours for your Admin Bar (front‑end & admin) and the left Admin Menu.

* Per‑role controls: hide menu items, add custom links with drag & drop re-order.

* Live appearance preview and accessibility checks while editing colours.

* Seven built-in colour presets.

* Import/export tools for moving settings between sites.

* Discovery of third-party admin bar menu items for role-based hiding.

* Front-end admin bar visibility rules by role and post type.

SimpleBar is both free and open-source, and is designed for developers, web builders, site owners, and anyone who values a clean admin experience.

Notes

  • Reordering is best‑effort. WordPress and plugins may add nodes after our hook runs.
