The WordPress admin toolbar contains useful shortcuts to different WordPress sections. The shortcuts available within the <\/strong>admin bar change supported <\/strong>a users\u2019 role and permissions in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when viewing the general public <\/strong>pages on the front-end of your website, the admin bar is often a touch <\/strong>distracting. it’s going to <\/strong>also affect your website\u2019s design and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there are multiple ways to simply <\/strong>disable the WordPress admin bar for all users except administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1. Disabling The WordPress Admin Bar for Any User<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

WordPress allows each user to hide admin bar based on user roles by simply editing their user profile. As a site owner, you’ll <\/strong>also edit other user\u2019s profiles and disable the admin bar for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like <\/strong>to disable the admin bar for any particular user in WordPress, you\u2019ll got to <\/strong>edit their user profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply attend <\/strong>the Users \u00bb All Users page then <\/strong>click on the \u2018edit\u2019 link for any user you would like <\/strong>to disable the admin bar for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"user<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This will bring you to the user profile editor page. From here, uncheck the box next to the \u2018Show toolbar when viewing site\u2019 option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"user<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Scroll down and click the \u2018Update User\u2019 button to save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will disable the admin bar for that particular user when they visit the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there are other ways to quickly disable the admin bar for all users except administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This code checks if the present <\/strong>user isn’t <\/strong>an administrator, and that they aren’t <\/strong>viewing the admin dashboard. If both conditions match, then it’ll <\/strong>hide admin bar based on user roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
