Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu or Standard Admin Menu + WordPress Toolbar Fixed to the Top + Left of the Admin Screens.

== Description ==

### What you need, where you need it - and when. ###

**For WordPress 3.3+ - Backward compatibile with WordPress 3.2 and 3.1** see [Other Notes](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menus-fixed/other_notes/)
**Works with: [Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu 3.6+](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ozh-admin-drop-down-menu/)**

**Fixed Admin Menus Both Ways:** As a companion to Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu **OR** Standalone.

**Now incorporates HoverIntent** to chill the Toolbar drop-down hair trigger, so now you can overshoot Ozh' Menu without the Toolbar menu falsely stepping on it.

* Consolidates the WordPress Toolbar and Ozh's menu and makes them both so that you always have them readily available at the top of your window; no matter how long the page may be or where you happen to be scrolled.

* Compresses upper Admin screen element positions; bringing more of the page content "above the fold".

* If installed Standalone, or Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu is deactivated, the standard WordPress Admin Menu along the left side is made fixed-position in both expanded and collapsed modes; eliminating a lot of scrolling.

* See the [Screenshots](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menus-fixed/screenshots/) for all of the combinations.

For the backstory, a comprehensive overview and support, see the [Fixed Admin Menus - The Plugin](http://blog.imperialearth.com/wordpress/fixed-admin-menus-the-plugin/) page series.

== Changelog ==

= 1.1 =

* Compatibility with WordPress 3.3+. Incorporates HoverIntent on the Toolbar drop-down's hair trigger, increasing the delay for better navigation. Code rewriitten for better compatibility according to conventional practice.

= 1.0 =

* Compatibility with WordPress 3.2+. Makes the standard WordPress Admin Menu fixed-position in both expanded and collapsed modes if installed Standalone.

= 0.6 =

* Now operates Standalone; accommodating the Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu being deactivated without having to deactivate Fixed Admin Menus first. This allows the compressed and fixed position attributes of the WordPress Admin Header to be retained, so the plugin can be used with the standard WordPress Admin Menu as well.

= 0.3 =

* First public release following an encouraging suggestion made by Ozh, after he saw my hack, to develop a companion plugin. Thanks, Ozh!

== Installation ==

= Installation as usual: =

1. Upload plugin directory to your `wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. May be Network Activated by Multisite Network Admin (recommended if Ozh's plugin is Network Activated but it is not necessary that the activation methods match). Network Activation is required in WP 3.2+ for the plugin to work in Network Admin screens.
4. Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu not required but it is really cool. You should try it out. I've used it for years and wouldn't work without it.

= Upgrading =

* Overwrite the current admin-menus-fixed/ directory and all contents.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I configure it? =

No configuration is necessary. It works all by itself.

= This is cool. How can I support your effort? =

== Other Notes ==

**V3.2 and Earlier**
* All three bars fit in darn near the same space as the standard bars do alone. Enjoy more screen real estate and less scrolling!

* Consolidates the Admin Header's User Menu with the Site Title on the left; where all of the other menus are.

* **WordPress Admin Bar is optional.** Automatically adjusts to the display/not display setting of the Admin Bar in the backend.  
  Toggle: **Your Profile** > **Show Admin Bar** > **in dashboard** checkbox. Menus reformat to accommodate the chosen setting.

* Check that the **Show Admin Bar** toggle in **Your Profile** works and the drop-downs extend and you're good to go.
