You can enable this option and see the admin menu on the public pages. Also, you can close the admin panel with returning to the recently viewed public page. This solution may be good for content managers but not for frontend developers because admin menu may change the design of some themes. On this video demonstration you can see how to show admin menu in frontend, hide the admin menu and close the admin panel. If you want only “Close admin panel” functionality, you can install [Switcher](https://wordpress.org/plugins/switcher/) plugin. ## Screenshots [[ ## Installation #### From WordPress dashboard 1.

However it needs an option to exclude sites. It should not appear when editing frontend with pagebuilders ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d4289c8c4aee8f9ff668a97e14c98eaf396d8797d8ae232281e07712d684ed5a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just Great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-great-272/)󠁿 [joprix](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joprix/) February 26, 2018 1 reply This a powerful tool when you are building your site and adding funtionalities from plugins, so you dont have to be going betwen back and frontend.

The only issue I’m having are the sub menu’s not showing up in some themes, due to z-index issues. Either the plugin needs to set a real high z-index value for the submenus, or have the option for the site admin to adjust that value. Overall though, very good, so even with this little problem (easily fixable), I gladly give it 5 stars without any hesitations. Follow up update: Ok, I can’t fix this with a simple z-index value. However, if I collapse the menu, the sub menus appear, which is a nice compromise I guess. So my guess is that this is a JavaScript issue? Again, the submenu issue happens with some themes, and not all. For example, this plugin works fine with the WP default themes.
