 * I’d like to add “Plugins” and “Add new plugin” to the Network admin dropdown 
   in the admin bar.
 * What would be the easiest way to go about this?
 * Thanks!

 * This works for me…I’m not sure if you can somehow combine the two items and only
   call `$admin_bar->add_menu( $args);` once.
 *     ```
       add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'add_items',  100);
       function add_items($admin_bar)
       {
           $args = array(
                   'id'    => 'plugins',
                   'title' => 'Plugins',
                   'href'  => 'plugins.php',
                   'meta'  => array(
                           'title' => __('Plugins'),
                           ),
                   );
   
           $admin_bar->add_menu( $args);
           $args = array(
                   'id'     => 'add-plugin',
                   'title'  => 'Add New',
                   'href'   => 'plugin-install.php',
                   'meta'   => array(
                           'title' => __('Add New Plugin'),
                           ),
                   'parent' => 'plugins',
                   );
   
           $admin_bar->add_menu( $args);
       }
       ```
   
 * EDIT: This should go into your theme’s functions.php file.

 * In case anyone stumbles on this topic, this also came out recently: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-admin-bar-tweaks/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-admin-bar-tweaks/)
 * Both variants work flawlessly.
