Overview

About this plugin

Remove WP Admin Bar is a lightweight and powerful WordPress plugin that allows you to control the visibility of the WordPress admin bar based on user roles.

The WordPress admin bar (toolbar) appears on the front end for logged-in users. While it is useful for administrators and editors, it can be distracting, unnecessary, or confusing for subscribers, customers, contributors, or clients.

This plugin gives you full control over who can see the admin bar — without writing a single line of code.

Perfect for membership sites, WooCommerce stores, client websites, LMS platforms, multi-author blogs, and agency-managed WordPress installations.
