 * Morning all,
 * I’ve tried a few things so far, and have searched the forums, but cannot find
   anything that will do the job.
 * I want to completely remove the black dashboard access bar at the top of the 
   screen.
 * I’ve installed a few plugins, and am currently using the ‘Remove dashboard access’
   plugin. None of them get rid of it though.
 * They all seem to limit the access to specific users. I want it so that admins
   can still see it and access it once logged in, but all other user roles and non-
   logged in people cannot see it at all.
 * So far, the one I am using removes access to it, but the black bar that says ‘
   WordPress’ etc, is still there.
 * Can the bar not be removed?
 * Also, there is an option in the iThemes security plugin I have installed that
   says, ‘Hide backend. . . ‘ If I tick this, will it remove it from admins aswell?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * By default the admin bar is not showed to logged out users, if it’s showing then
   most likely either a plugin or your theme is adding it, or if you use a caching
   plugin it’s misbehaving.

 * Thanks, it was buddypress. .
 * The option in the buddypress settings showed ‘Show toolbar for logged out users’.
   Changed that now.
 * Is there a way I can completely hide it though? I have a log in/register form
   in my sidebar, so don’t need the admin bar/tool-bar/dashboard.

 * Anyone know how to completely remove the black bar?
 * Does the ‘Hide backend feature’ in iThemes remove this? If so, will it still 
   show for admins? (Cause admins will need it obviously)
