  • Uses WordPress native functions for maximum compatibility.
  • Instantly removes the admin bar from all frontend pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable Hide Admin Bar for All Users?

Go to Settings > Hide Admin Bar Settings in your WordPress admin and find the option on the main Settings tab.

Can I use this with other visibility conditions?

Yes, all visibility conditions work together. The plugin evaluates conditions in order: global settings, role-based, capability-based, and then Pro conditions (time, URL, device, per-user). If any condition triggers hiding, the admin bar is hidden.

What happens if I accidentally hide the admin bar for administrators?

The plugin provides a secure reset URL on the settings page. You can also access the reset URL directly to restore all settings to their defaults without needing the admin bar.
