Toolbar

The black bar at the top of the admin and (for logged-in users) the website.

Visible core toolbar items

Tick the WordPress items to show; unticked items are removed in the admin and on the front end. Default: Site name, Edit, My account, Search.

Available: WordPress logo menu, Site name, Edit site (block themes), Comments, New content, Customize, Archive / search, Edit, My account, Updates, Search, Widgets.

The mobile menu button and the Ctrl+K command palette always stay.

Visible toolbar items added by plugins (Pro)

Plugins often add their own menus (SEO, analytics, caches, store badges). Only ticked ones are shown; every other plugin item is removed. Default: Kinsta Cache only.

• Items of plugins that aren’t active are greyed out; you can still tick them in advance.
• Plugins not in the list are added automatically the first time their item appears in the toolbar (open a few admin pages).
• AiryPress’s own live visitors counter and maintenance badge have their own settings.

Known items: Kinsta (Clear Caches), Gravity Forms (Forms), MonsterInsights (Insights), SEOPress (SEO), Yoast SEO (SEO), The Events Calendar (Events), WooCommerce (Store coming soon badge), Query Monitor.
