Additional Info

Idea Behind / Philosophy: This is something that I have found super useful when it comes to customizing WordPress. I have been writing custom menus for quite a while and realised there is not much out there like this. No more code snippets, copy pasting or including files, simply install the plugin and away you go using the built in WordPress menus. A simple but powerful plugin to give you more customization powers over the admin toolbar.

Future Features

More power over menu locations with options to pick which locations you want to use and the menu order in relation to existing WordPress menus.
Options page to remove other standard toolbar menu items.
(you can uncomment these in the code now if you’re keen 😉
Ability to change the WordPress „Howdy“ welcome message

3 new toolbar menu locations added to your existing locations.

FAQ

Does this display menus to admin only or everyone?: The menus created will be visible to anyone logged in.
Can you make it show only to admins?: You could quite easily but you would need to know a little php. You simply need to add a conditional statement to the plugin to make sure only the admin user role can see the menus.
Do you have to use all 3 menus?: Nope! If you don’t assign a menu to the locations, they simply won’t show up.

This is really helpful. You can make shortcuts to setting page of each plugin, specific post, external link, anything you want. If you are disgusted with many left menus, you should install it. solve problems with one click.

I used this to add a dropdown of pages in the admin bar. It is good — simple and easy to use. It could be improved two ways: * add an option to always show the admin bar, even in „fullscreen“ mode (I found another plugin to do this, for now) * add an option for a menu to output the admin edit links, rather than the front-end links (I had to use custom links which isn’t as easy to maintain)

Hi, I must congratulate you for identifying this problem and putting this together. Simple and easy… perhaps you could build on it an make it more intuitive, like a drop down it is now, with all current admin items dynamically updates as they grow, so we would not need to go to the dashboard ever again… just a suggestion, but very helpful, a fresh breath of air
