Admin Bar Wrap Fix

Description

Fixes the wrap behavior of the WordPress admin bar when it has too many items. Keep it neat; don’t spill/overflow into the content.

Check things out on GitHub at https://github.com/KZeni/Admin-Bar-Wrap-Fix

Screenshots

  • Too many items to show with plugin (it at least shows the left icon & truncates text as needed).
  • Fewer items shown with plugin (shows normally).
  • What WordPress currently does without this plugin (overlapping items hijack hover and makes things inaccessible, and the user experience is generally broken).

FAQ

Shouldn’t this be fixed within WordPress itself?

I would think so. This has been submitted as a patch at core ticket #44438 & core GitHub pull request #1082, but I figured it would still be beneficial as a plugin to solve things for people in the meantime.

Really great, as this fixes many strange overflow issues on narrow viewports. The functionality should be finally merged into WordPress core!

So far, I’ve performed acrobatics to manage the page normally. I have often narrowed my browser down to tablet size. I was looking for a solution on the Internet. I accidentally stumbled upon this plugin. Great. Partial solution to the problem but I can live with that. Regards,

Love this plugin – it’s straightforward, works great, and solves something that’s been a long-time frustration of mine. I made two small tweaks for spacing and readability for my own site, in case they’re of interest: /* Improve spacing and prevent Site Title from eating WP Logo */ #wpadminbar .quicklinks > ul > li, #wpadminbar .quicklinks .ab-item { max-width: 100px; } /* Media Query – Min-Width: 1061px */ @media only screen and (min-width: 66.3125em) { #wpadminbar .quicklinks > ul > li, #wpadminbar .quicklinks .ab-item { /* Reset the spacing. */ max-width: initial; text-overflow: clip; } } Without the max-width, the site title wound up eating the WP logo on the left side a little bit. Thx so much for the awesome plugin!!

1.2

Released May 31st, 2021

  • Mobile admin bar is now accounted for as plugins have recently been adding their own items to the mobile menu as well & potentially causing items wrap onto a new line outside of the admin bar given the available space. Instead of wrapping to overlap the actual content, it simply offers a horizontal scroll for when there are too many items to show on screen at once (keeping the items all within the admin bar’s one row of icons.)
