In most of our custom WordPress themes, we like to view our pages without the admin bar. Still, while developing or maintaining a website, we like to have access to some of the most common admin items. This tiny menu helps a bit.
What does it do?
- Show the WordPress “Edit post” action
- Show an “Edit with Elementor” action (for those who care)
- Show a link to the Dashboard
- Show a link to the WP Network (if available)
- Show a link to New posts (for public post types)
- Show a link to Menus, Widgets, Plugins and Users sections
- Show a link to ACF, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, FluentForms and WPML (if available)
- Show role-restricted custom links (to be added on the settings page)
This plugin is under active development. Any feature requests are welcome at [email protected]!

FAQ
Right now, quite arbitrarily, we support WPML, ACF, FluentForms, Yoast SEO and WooCommerce. Just because these are plugins we access a lot during development.
But you can add your own through the settings page.
