I like the addition of the admin bar, but is there any way to remove specific items from it... for example I don't use comments on my site so I have no need for it in the bar. As well as appearance since I'll never change the theme nor the widgets (don't use those either). thanks!

Posted 1 year ago #I agree that it's kind of an imposition especially on sites that require a login. You can turn it off under Users > Your Profile and there is also code that you can add to the functions.php of your theme to turn it off globally, but right now those are the only options AFAIK.
-
Posted 1 year ago #Ya I added the remove code in my functions.php file but I would rather keep it. It's kinda nice to see the page, see an error, and goto the edit page right from it. It's very handy but filled with things I don't care to look at or would ever use.

Posted 1 year ago #I'm also digging the custom menus but wish I would have seen it before building a new client site... they would have liked it instead of using the exclude page plug in that I used. Ha, oh well... next time maybe.

Posted 1 year ago #It's also very easy to have an "edit this page" link on the page which only appears if you are logged in and have edit capabilities. Personally I don't think I need the admin bar and I think it tends to homogenize all WP sites. Of course if you are running a business you pay a lot of money to have a unique look. I'm glad that there are ways to turn it off.

Posted 1 year ago #It's very easy to exclude pages from the menu without a plugin. The custom menus thing is more about being able to add pages, especially pages that are outside of your WordPress installation.

Posted 1 year ago #I have a high traffic intra-net site where users really have no need for the Admin Bar at the moment. I disabled it globally using Ozh's plugin.
That was just one more option in my case. Works like a charm so far.

Posted 1 year ago #No need for a plug in... just toss this in your functions.php:
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' ); -
Posted 1 year ago #That's all the plugin actually is as well, just the same filter. I was being the lazy sort today because I let them use a theme switcher for personalization, and didn't feel like editing multiple theme function files. The plugin was a hard and fast solution. Plus, it's just so darned cool!

The plugin is 'better' since it's not theme dependent.
If you run MultiSite, OR single site actually, put it in the mu-plugins folder (if you don't have it, make it on the same level as the plugins folder). That will AUTOMATICALLY run on your website, and never be able to be turned off.

First you have to sneak up on the code ninjas or team pirates and stab their pockets.

Posted 1 year ago #Does anyone know a simple way to disable the Admin Bar for "subscribers" only?
I actually like it for my own use, but would really rather have it hidden for the vast number of subscribers who would not use any of its functionality.
Thanks!

Posted 1 year ago #function yoast_disable_admin_bar() {
if ( 2 == get_current_user_id() ) {
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'yoast_disable_admin_bar' , 9 );I think? It would go into your functions.php... I'm using it now.
-
Posted 1 year ago #@consumerdesign, that disables it for a specific user (whomever has the user ID of 2 in the example). I'm looking it do it based on the user role.
Thanks to you, I found that Yoast article on the issue and it got me on the right track. I'm thinking something along these lines (notice bold section):
<?php function yoast_hide_admin_bar_settings() {
?>
<style type="text/css">
.show-admin-bar {
display: none;
}
</style>
<?php
}function yoast_disable_admin_bar() {
if (current_user_can( 'publish_posts' )){
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'yoast_disable_admin_bar' , 9 );Any thoughts?
-
Posted 1 year ago #OK, figured it out and seems to be working with my testing. Let me know if anyone sees any glaring problems with this.
/* Disable the Admin Bar for subscribers. */ function my_function_admin_bar(){ if (current_user_can('publish_posts')) { return true;} else {return false; } } add_filter( 'show_admin_bar' , 'my_function_admin_bar');*Technically this disables it for "contributors" as well, but in actuality, I want it hidden for anyone who doesn't post articles. You should be able to tailor it to your needs based on the user role privileges.

Posted 1 year ago #hm oh ya, ha... I thought I checked it and it removed it for everyone. Oh well, I got it from somewhere but it looks like you have it anyhow.

Posted 1 year ago #Ummm you are aware theres an option to enable/disable the bar in the user settings (per user), yes?
-
Posted 1 year ago #Can't you also do something like:
function my_function_admin_bar(){ global $userdata; if($userdata->user_level == 1) { return false; } else { return true; } } add_filter( 'show_admin_bar' , 'my_function_admin_bar');so in turn just admins would be
if($userdata->user_level < 9) { -
Posted 1 year ago #@messy-h: ya but they can go back in and edit that correct?
-
Posted 1 year ago #@messy-h - Yes I am, but this turns it off by default and it solves it with one block of code once as opposed to switching it off 700+ times for all of my subscriber accounts.
@consumedesign - I don't see why that wouldn't work. I went with the curent_user_can, since the level method is depreciated (as of 3.0). I just picked an appropriate capability from here.
I have custom profile pages, so the Admin Box checkbox option doesn't appear at all for my users. I'm not sure how the individual selection would be affected by this mod.
-
Posted 1 year ago #Ahh I forget they are deprecated... though I have 3.1 and still working fine for me. I just don't like the current_user_can and would rather have someone tagged as a number ha...
-
Posted 1 year ago #This would be a better way to go I guess:
function my_function_admin_bar(){ if (current_user_can('manage_network')) { return true; } else { return false; } } add_filter( 'show_admin_bar' , 'my_function_admin_bar'); -
Posted 1 year ago #@rubinsandwich: Admin Bar Disabler
Disable the WP Admin Bar in 3.1+ entirely, or only for roles and capabilities which aren't in the 'whitelist' or that have been specifically excluded in the 'blacklist'.
-
Posted 1 year ago #Nice! Looks like that just got posted yesterday. I'll give it a shot.
The obvious advantage of a plugin (other than simplicity) is that it won't get overwritten during theme updates.

Posted 1 year ago #The bar affects the layout and presentation of the site. This should be in the hands of the site administrator, not the individual users.
It was pretty easy to add the line to functions.php, but that's a hack. There should be an option in the Site Admin to disable it site-wide.

Thanks for the code, guys. I hope the WordPress devs will add a feature to disable this or someone creates a plugin to do this.

You can hide parts of the admin bar with CSS. To remove the comments and the appearance options add this to your stylesheet:
#wp-admin-bar-comments {display:none;}
#wp-admin-bar-appearance {display:none;}
