In WordPress there used to be a link to add a new post or page on the top of about every page.

If you don’t have the menu bar added on the Dashboard you won’t see this button anymore. Luckily, there is a way to get it back in an even better way!

Simply go to Users->Your Profile. Where it reads “Show Admin Bar”. Check the box that says “in dashboard”. Then save your settings.
