The Admin Bar

If you enable the admin bar in your profile, you will see the Admin Bar as a solid black bar that appears at the top of the page. The admin bar can be switched on or off on the “live” website in your profile settings.

Starting from the left, the admin bar contains a small WordPress logo drop-down menu, which includes links to WordPress updates, WordPress site, documentation, support forums and feedback. Then, a link to the dashboard, a link to Edit Comments an Add New dropdown menu for Post, Media, Link and Page.

Across the rightmost part of the admin, the bar contains a small picture (avatar) of whoever is logged into the site. Following the avatar are the username of the person logged in and the Search icon that toggles to the Search box once clicked.

The username is a dropdown list which consists of the following:

·         Edit My Profile - a link to a Profile page.

·         Log Out - a quick way to log out of your admin control.
