How It Works
Define URL conditions to control where the admin bar appears. Supports multiple condition types: full URLs (https://pluginstack.dev/blog/), path patterns (/blog/, /shop), wildcard patterns (/blog/*, /products/*), and post type matching (post_type=product). Enter one condition per line. The matching engine handles trailing slashes, regex-based wildcards, and WordPress post type detection automatically.
Benefits
- Page-specific admin bar control.
- Wildcard patterns for entire sections (e.g., /blog/*).
- Post type matching for custom post types.
- Exact URL and path matching support.
- One condition per line — easy to manage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enable URL-Based Conditions?
Go to Settings > Hide Admin Bar Settings in your WordPress admin and navigate to the appropriate Pro 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.
