This option changes WordPress logo in admin bar with your custom branding logo or any other image you provide. It supports transparent png images as well.

Profile Settings

Log Out only

This will leave only log out button visible on the right side of the admin bar if selected

Custom Admin Bar on Front End

These options will help you to hide admin bar or its items on the front end pages when WordPress user is logged in.

Hide Admin Bar on Site Pages

When a user is logged in, he can see admin bar even on site pages, not just admin panel. This option will help you to remove admin bar from site pages when a user is logged in to WordPress.

Show Admin Bar for Logged Out Users

If this option is checked, admin bar will show up on the site pages even for logged out users! It will be publically available on your site's pages. Admin bar customizations created by Cusmin like custom colors, icons and admin bar items, should also work on the public admin bar. Please note that admin bar will not have the default WordPress admin bar items like "Site name", "New+", "Updates" or current user information on the right. Your custom admin bar items should be visible. Some third party plugins like BuddyPress can add theirs admin bar items here, so they could also appear on the public admin bar.

Please make sure that the currently selected configuration is also set as public facing configuration.

Troubleshooting: Admin bar does not appear on site pages, even though this option is checked

• Solution 1: Check theme's function.php and search for "show_admin_bar" filter. The theme could be disabling it. Try to comment it out and see if the problem is solved.
• Solution 2: Try disabling all other plugins. Some plugins could add extra options for managing admin bar on front-end.
• Solution 3:Make sure that your Cusmin configuration is set as a public configuration on Cusmin -> General tab

Troubleshooting: Admin bar does not appear on site pages, even though this option is checked

Solution: Check tag of your theme inside the PHP template. In WordPress default templates, you can find this in header.php. Body tag should look like this:

<body <?php body_class(); ?> >

If you use a custom template instead, that does not have the body_class function, please make sure to add cusmin class to the body tag, like this:

<body class="cusmin">

Cusmin custom styles will be applied correctly after that.

Hide Search Field

This will hide search field in admin bar on the front-end.

Hide "Customize" Menu Item

This option will hide customize menu item on front page admin bar

Hide "BuddyPress Log In button" menu item

This option will appear only if BuddyPress plugin is installed. In its settings, it is possible to set admin bar to show up publicly. When that option is active, BuddyPress will create a login button that will show up in the admin bar. With this Cusmin option, we can hide that Log In button.

Other options

Other options may also appear here depending on installed plugins that add their admin bar items on front admin bar.
