I want to remove top admin bar from wordpress. How to?

Question

whenever admin or any other user logs in a top bar menu ads up. Now I made login for everybody, so I do not want this bar. first I added display:none to admin-bar.css, but the main problem is that wordpress is still adding a white line on the top with: html { margin-top: 28px !important; }

how to remove this as this is causing some design flaws. Thanks!

Has an article about it.

But basically

/* Disable the Admin Bar. */
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );

or also

//REMOVE ADMIN BAR
remove_action('init', 'wp_admin_bar_init');

I believe in your functions.php will disable it. Probably a better way than just hiding it thriough css

THe reason you still get the gap with the menu hidden is because WP adds this css as well

html { margin-top: 28px !important; }
* html body { margin-top: 28px !important; }

So a margin is added up top.... you could negate that css in yours, but just disabling the bar is probably better if that's what you want to do

Answer 2

If you're talking about the top bar that shows up with quicklinks for the admin, you can also disable it per user when you setup their profiles. It's just a checkbox in the admin under the profile. Hope that helps some.

Answer 3

put this function in function.php of your theme

function hide_admin_bar_from_front_end(){
  if (is_blog_admin()) {
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'hide_admin_bar_from_front_end' );

Answer 4

To remove the top margin left by the admin bar, it's not enough just to set show_admin_bar to false. You also need to remove the admin bar bump callback:

remove_action( 'wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb' );

Answer 5

The best way I've found to remove that white space (it's not caused by the admin bar) is to search out this CSS in style.css:

#page {
    margin: 2em auto;
    max-width: 1000px;
}

and switch the 2em to 0em or some variation of the same. That will remove the white space.
