## 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](https://halfelf.org/2017/make-wordpress-gay/),
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](https://gist.github.com/pento/bc4574b8eb0f4500efbeb75ec7d8630c).
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 WordPress.org 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.

### Do you support this plugin on forks of WordPress?

No. It was developed for WordPress and so forks remain unsupported. I have no intention
of developing and testing this on any other version.

## 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: Code efficiency improvements
 * Maintenance: Renamed the LBGT style to Pride (Traditional)

#### 1.1

 * Enhancement: Added option to define whether the flag appears behind or inline
   with the admin bar menu options
 * Enhancement: Instead of just the LGBT pride flag, this now supports 14 different
   flags from the community
 * Enhancement: The menu bar text colour will inverse when certain flags are used,
   allowing them to be more readable
 * 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)

#### 1.0.4

 * Enhancement: Not only follows all of the WordPress coding standards but also 
   the gold-standard WP VIP standards too. This is one well written plugin, even
   if I do say so myself
 * Enhancement: Improved the plugin meta data and added donation information in.
   Just because

#### 1.0.3

 * Bug: Fixed PHP errors that occurred upon first activation

#### 1.0.2

 * Enhancement: CSS is now compressed
 * Enhancement: Further code quality enhancements made
