The plugin adds a special button to the right side of the WordPress Admin Toolbar that only displays when you are outside the admin area of WordPress on the front-end. Clicking it will make the admin bar slide off the page to the top left corner, leaving only the hide\/show button visible. Clicking the button again will restore the Toolbar to its original position. The shown\/hidden position is remembered between page visits so that it can be kept hidden away until you are ready to bring it back.<\/p>\n\n<p>There are no options or configuration. Just install and activate the plugin. When you exit the admin area, you will see the button to the far right of the Toolbar.<\/p>\n\n<p>I actually like the WordPress Toolbar. It's a convenient way to go back and forth from the admin area to the public website. However, when I'm doing design modifications for a theme, the Toolbar can be visually distracting. I wanted a quick way to hide the WordPress Toolbar when needed, but otherwise keep it around. I tried several plugins but they didn't work as I wanted or didn't even work at all in some cases. So I decided to build my own.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Contributions Welcome<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin is on Github. <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/jr00ck\/hide-wp-toolbar\">Submit a pull request<\/a> if you'd like to contribute.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload entire <code>hide-wp-toolbar<\/code> directory to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the public area of the site and click the right side button to hide\/show the WP Toolbar<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id='are%20there%20any%20settings%20for%20this%20plugin%3F'><h3>Are there any settings for this plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Nope.
