WordPress Admin Toolbar

Build toolbar extensions through the public PHP API. In WordPress 7.1 the bar is also present by default in the Post and Site Editors, except in Distraction Free mode, so every node must tolerate those contexts.

Add a capability-aware node

add_action(
	'admin_bar_menu',
	static function ( WP_Admin_Bar $bar ): void {
		if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
			return;
		}
