Pride Bar

Description

Add an LGBTQIA+ flag design to your admin bar.

Originally added to WordPress.com and viewable by Australian users to support marriage equality, I have bought the rainbow flag to everyone’s Admin Bar, via this plugin.

But that’s not all, as it now supports 47 different flags…

1. Aceflux
2. Acespec
3. Aftgender
4. Agender
5. Aplatonic
6. Aroace
7. Arospec (was Aromantic)
8. Asexual
9. Bigender
10. Bisexual
11. Ceterosexual
12. Demiboy
13. Demifluid
14. Demigender
15. Demigirl
16. Demineutrois
17. Deminonbinary
18. Demixenogender
19. Femme
20. Fraysexual
21. Gay Men
22. Gender Nonconforming
23. Genderfae
24. Genderfluid
25. Genderflux
26. Genderqueer
27. Greysexual
28. Hijra
29. Intersex
30. Lesbian (5 stripe)
31. Lesbian (7 stripe)
32. Lipstick Lesbian
33. Monosexual
34. Multisexual
35. Neutrois
36. Non-binary
37. Omnisexual
38. Pangender
39. Pansexual
40. Polysexual
41. Pomosexual
42. Pride (Gilbert Baker)
43. Pride (More Colour More Pride)
44. Pride (Traditional)
45. Queer
46. Quintgender
47. Transgender

And, thanks to code by Mika Epstein, you can modify the positioning of the flag too – allow it to flow behind your Admin Bar menu options or go around it.

How to use? Just install, activate and enjoy a new flag colored admin bar. Different designs are available – head to Settings -> General -> Pride Bar to change the flag and positioning.

Thanks to for Michael Arestad for writing the original code and Pento for sharing it. And particularly to the LGBTQIA+ community for having such awesome symbols.

Installation

Pride Bar can be found and installed via the Plugin menu within WordPress administration (Plugins -> Add New). Alternatively, it can be downloaded from www.ads-software.com and installed manually…

1. Upload the entire pride-bar folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress administration.

Voila! It’s ready to go.

FAQ

Can I submit my own theme?

Yes you can. If you take a look at the plugin folder, you’ll see a sub-folder named css – in that is the CSS for each theme. Simply modify one of those to your taste then, if you’d like to share it, send it along to me and I’ll look to include it in future releases, complete with its own unique name.

Changelog

I use semantic versioning, with the first release being 1.0.

1.4

• Enhancement: No visible changes but I’ve split the plugin into a number of smaller files as it was getting too large and difficult to maintain

1.3.2

• Enhancement: Made some minor code quality improvements

1.3.1

• Bug: As Snoop Dogg once said, “it’s amazing how much trouble you can get in for mis-placed hash”. Okay, he didn’t say that but you can imagine it, right? Yeah, I put a hash symbol somewhere where it shouldn’t have been and broke the Monosexual style. Ironically, the result was that it appeared as just a single color

1.3

• Bug: I didn’t add Intersex last time around, despite stating I had. Now added
• Bug: Fixed some escaping that wasn’t correct
• Enhancement: One year later and it’s Pride month once again. Time to add more styles. 14 more, to be precise
• Enhancement: Improved some wording

1.2

• Enhancement: It’s Pride month, so what better time to add 18 more styles, more than doubling the number available?
• Enhancement: Added a link to the settings page so that you can request additional styles to be added

• Enhancement: CSS is now added to the page header in-line, due to it being generated on-the-fly
• Maintenance: Updated README text as well as the uninstaller (to get rid of the new, second setting upon removal)
