Most of these questions pertained to simple snips that could be added to a themes functions.php file or the must use plugin directory (<a
href="http://technerdia.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2NvZGV4LndvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcvTXVzdF9Vc2VfUGx1Z2lucw==" target=\"_blank\">mu-plugins</a>) for multisite installs.</p><p>Because of these questions, I&#8217;ve put together 30 different examples of how to customize the WordPress Admin Bar. As well, I&#8217;ve included two PHP Classes that wrap up various aspects of the examples for easier use within your functions.php file.</p><div
class="br">&nbsp;</div><p><strong>How to use the snips</strong>:</p><ul><li>Access the Active Theme for a Website and open the functions.php file. Paste the snips below into the file, then test.</li><li>For multisite installs: If you use the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ (must use plugins) folder, these snips will activate across every Website on the Network.</li><li><strong>WordPress Admin Bar Not Displaying</strong>? Add &lt;?php wp_footer();?&gt; at the bottom to your themes footer.php file.</li></ul><p><strong><em>The example snips below have been tested on WordPress 3.3.2</em></strong>:</p><ul
