Due to a typo, version 1.2 *may* accidentally display for all visitors (but will not function for them) - please update to v1.2a, as that resolves the issue (props to matthew maber for noticing the glitch).
I have updated the plugin admin strip two, sporting full support for wordpress 2.1.x and 2.2, along with added support for UTW, which, if detected, adds the current tag count and a handy link to the tags.
The CSS has been updated slightly, so that theme colours don’t ‘bleed’ through to the same degree (translation: it’s easier to read) and have tightened the code up a little.
Pretty cool, eh?
So please do grab the v1.2 update should you have this wondrous invention.. and if not? You might find it a handy addition to your Wordpress blog.

Hi,
I’ve just installed this plugin on my site and I’ve having a few problems. We previously had the old plug which worked fine however since moving to 2.2 and this new version I am unable to see the bar at all in Firefox and it appears at the very bottom of the page in IE. Any ideas ?
Thanks.

I’ve tested it on a couple of sites and it’s okay.. can you send me a screen grab?

I’ve just installed your Admin Strip 2 v1.2a plugin. The bar doesn’t display at all… :(
I switched back to Kubrik theme in order to test your plugin but it doesn’t work!
Is there any known issue ?
Note : I don’t use UTW.
Thanx.

Guillaume,
Which version of wordpress are you using?
I have tested it on about 8 different themes, all of which work a-ok. Including Kubrick. I also tested without UTW enabled and it still functions.
Please do note that the plugin requires the wordpress footer call, i.e:
<?php wp_footer() ?>.. in footer.php in order to function - some theme designers aren’t aware it’s a core part of the template engine and don’t include it.
I’d also be inclined in checking which plugins you have installed, as one may be causing problems with the admin strip.

Guys,
Please download the latest version 1.2b as it *might* fix the disappearing bar trick.
After a direct comparison between my own current implementation and the release there were a couple lines that *might* not have been overly reliable.
Please do give it a spin.

Brendan,
I’m using WP 2.2 and no plugin except Askimet.
I’ve took a look at my footer.php and it does include the wp_footer function call.
That’s weird :(
I’ll try look at the code and find the problem myself.
I’ll check here for new releases :)
Thank you for your soft anyway!
Guillaume

Thanks, I managed to fix mine by changing a few of the plugins and it seems to be working fine now so thanks for your help.

Brendan, I found your site while theme hunting. Sort of off topic but what theme is smackfoo on? Its simple but cool at the same time.

Dave,
It’s pretty much entirely self built. Thanks for dropping by.

do you plan on updating to wordpress 2.3 anytime soon? i just updated and found myself without admin strip because it isn’t compatible..
that said i really like your plugin and would love to see it ported to 2.3 :-)
Sep 27th, 2007 at 5:37 am
I’m not going to be upgrading to 2.3. Indeed I’ll be switching platforms soon.
Keeping plugins up-to-date is not a fun task when the developers keep screwing with fundamental parts of the core.
