What it does
The default WordPress Toolbar comes with a fixed set of items, and many of them go unused on a typical site. This add-on, built to work with Admin Menu Editor Pro, lets you clean that up. You can hide single items or whole groups, drag the rest into the order you prefer and change titles, URLs and CSS classes. You can also add your own items that point to pages, links or actions you open often, which keeps the Toolbar focused on the tasks you actually do.
The plugin handles both single sites and multisite networks, so you can shape the Toolbar for one install or manage settings across a whole network. Export and import tools let you move a finished configuration to another site or network, which helps agencies and admins keep the same layout everywhere. It has been tested in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, with partial support for Opera and Safari, and it suits anyone who wants a tidier admin area without editing code.
Best for
- Administrators who want a cleaner, more focused admin Toolbar
- Agencies keeping Toolbar layouts consistent across client sites
- Multisite network owners managing admin settings centrally

Questions about AME Toolbar Editor
Do I need Admin Menu Editor Pro to use this?
Yes. AME Toolbar Editor is designed as an add-on that integrates with Admin Menu Editor Pro, so it extends that plugin with tools for customizing the WordPress Toolbar rather than working on its own.
Can I add my own links to the Toolbar?
You can create new Toolbar items from scratch and point them to pages, links or actions you use often. You can also edit the title, URL and CSS classes of existing items.
Will it work on a multisite network?
It supports both single sites and multisite networks. You can manage Toolbar settings for one site or across a network, and export and import configurations to copy a layout between sites or networks.
Which browsers does the editor support?
It has been tested in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, with partial support for Opera and Safari. Most admins using a current mainstream browser should be able to work with the editor without trouble.
Is AME Toolbar Editor free?

Version 1.5.2, released Aug 11, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
