Title: Contextual Adminbar Color Author: Jb Audras Published: 25 Nofeembar, 2019 Last modified: 27 Nofeembar, 2025 --- Raadi kaabayaal ![](https://ps.w.org/contextual-adminbar-color/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=2201208) ![](https://ps.w.org/contextual-adminbar-color/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2201208) # Contextual Adminbar Color Qore [Jb Audras](https://profiles.wordpress.org/audrasjb/) [Soo Rog](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/contextual-adminbar-color.0.3.1.zip) * [Faahfaahin](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-adminbar-color/#description) * [Dibu-eegisyo](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-adminbar-color/#reviews) * [Rakibaad](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-adminbar-color/#installation) * [Horumarinta](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-adminbar-color/#developers) [Taageero](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contextual-adminbar-color/) ## Sharraxaad This plugins provides custom admin bar colors to differentiate environments (staging, preprod, production). It’s really **easy to use** and **developer-friendly**. The plugin provides a settings screen which several options: * choose between several color predefined schemes. * use a favicon to better differentiate your environments in your browser’s tabs. * add a custom message in your admin bar, like “Production website”, “staging version” or whatever your want. * choose the user roles that will see the color scheme (other roles will see the default admin bar). It also offers few PHP constants you can use in your `wp-config.php` file (see Frequently Asked Questions below). Since WordPress Core will probably deprecate alternate admin color schemes in mid- term, this plugin is meant to be use by those who rely on colors to know is they are in staging, preproduction or production environment. Last but not least, all provided color schemes are accessibility-ready! ## Sawir-shaashado * [[ * Plugin settings screen. * [[ * Use favicons to differentiate your browser tabs. * [[ * Front-end rendering. ## Rakibaad 1. Activate the plugin. 2. Good to Tools > Adminbar settings to configure the plugin. 3. Save your changes and enjoy 🙂 ## SBI ### How to use the PHP constant in wp-config.php? Use `CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_COLOR` to force color scheme. Accepted values: `blue`,` red`, `green`, `purple`, `orange` and `darkgray`. Example: `define( 'CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_COLOR',' purple' );` Use `CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_MESSAGE` to force your custom admin bar message to display. Accepted values: any valid string. Example: `define( 'CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_MESSAGE',' This is the staging website' );` * `CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_FAVICON` to force a favicon. Accepted values: `0` (don’t force a color based favicon) or `1` (force WordPress Admin to use the favicon that is related to your selected color scheme). Example: `define( 'CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_FAVICON', 1 );` * `CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_SETTINGS` to remove the settings screen from WordPress Admin, and manage the plugin’s settings only within the `wp-config.php` file. Accepted values: `0` (remove the settings screen) or `1` (keep it). Example: `define( ' CONTEXTUAL_ADMINBAR_SETTINGS', 0 )` ## Dibu-eegisyo ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/233d778d8aa6296afee9174e88034408e4d30655e0b437748825b5e030e65e1c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Très pratique !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tres-pratique-78/)󠁿 [Jean-BriceM](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jean-bricem/) 8 Janaayo, 2025 Présent sur toutes mes sites en pre-prod ! 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/34f6c789ee6d7cb85d1642d91d7fbe62532b8089872214a8a60c8e00b001f17a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[highly useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/highly-useful-10/)󠁿 [omeld](https://profiles.wordpress.org/omeld/) 14 Sebteembar, 2022 and unobtrusive ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/aa1577ab2b2325af74f2bae3ba9662b306a7450d9ab89b4c64686dcdad8e5472? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just what I needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-what-i-needed-1133/)󠁿 [evaldash](https://profiles.wordpress.org/evaldash/) 3 Sebteembar, 2021 Works as expected, would be great if compatibility with recent Wordpress versions were checked, since it’s a really useful and simple plugin.

It gives me the safety to know exactly which environment I work on without having to worry. Sometimes things look just alike in your DEV, STAGE and PROD environment. And with this little plugin, it is immediately obvious which environment you work in. And it also works on WP 5.6 – just checked… ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ec6a49f01b047a37da956a20ebc3f4097c99fc4f559c9be8fecce6b38a758acd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and very usefull!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-very-usefull-5/)󠁿 [Pedro Mendonça](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pedromendonca/) 5 Febraayo, 2020 Really enjoy this plugin. It’s simple and well integrated with WordPress admin UI. I really like the optional configuration through wp-config.php. After configuring it once in wp-config.php, I won’t ever need to reconfigure because it doesn’t loose settings on importing settings (eg. staging <-> production). Great job @audrasjb!
