Admin Bar Fix

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 78% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Both reviewers call it a lightweight, well-made admin bar hider, with one saying its ghost mode beats the alternatives they tried.

   Nice little admin bar “hider” with really useful toolbar tweaks

   This is the best lightweight admin bar fixer I’ve tried (and since Better Admin Bar changed the core behaviour I tested like 10 similar plugins). It is even better than original Better Admin Bar, now when I have “ghost mode” on and leave the admin bar, it remains open for a little while, which is great when you have plugins like Query Monitor and Laps and you need to interact with them.
