I just upgraded to WordPress 3.1. I was dismayed to discover an admin bar taking up space at the top of my blog when I was signed in.
Maybe you love the admin bar. I don’t happen to want it there.
How do you get rid of it, if you are like me and don’t want it? Go to Users in your dashboard. Select a user and edit the profile.
You’ll notice that Show Admin Bar when viewing site is selected by default. Deselect. Save. You’re good to go.
UPDATE 2/27/11. If you want to disable the admin bar for a number of users all at once, instead of doing it one user at a time, here’s a solution from WordPress Support:
Need to add below code in theme’s functions.php
/* Disable the Admin Bar. */
add_filter( ‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );
Hat tip to Megan for bringing this solution to my attention.
Thanks for posting this. We just updated to 3.1 and the admin bar definitely needs to go.
Tnanx this was helpful. Now I can disable it for clients.
