Title: Live Admin Bar Last modified: September 13, 2024 --- # Live Admin Bar * Resolved [jusemora30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jusemora30/) * (@jusemora30) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/) * Hey! After the last update I’m seeing the “Live” feature on the admin top bar, is there a way to hide that?? * [AdminBar.PNG](https://1drv.ms/i/s!Ajszb7wLAEY7wdM7GPfYfRm-oqj12Q?e=RPnZGP) * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flive-admin-bar%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [lhornaday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lhornaday/) * (@lhornaday) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18013478) * ```wp-block-code /** * Remove WooCommerce site visibility badge from the admin bar. * * @param WP_Admin_Bar $wp_admin_bar The WP_Admin_Bar instance, passed by reference. */function remove_woocommerce_site_visibility_badge( $wp_admin_bar ) { $wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'woocommerce-site-visibility-badge' );}add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'remove_woocommerce_site_visibility_badge', 999 ); ``` * I had the same question.

The “Live” label shows up on both the live version of the site and the staging version. So now I have clients getting upset about not knowing which is which. * This is really a highly visible spot on the entire website and shouldn’t be presenting misleading information (as many of us have development, staging, etc sites). * [markussss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markussss/) * (@markussss) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18013761) * I didn’t have enough time to think how I can make use of this new feature and align it with already available features like** password protection feature**,** coming soon / maintenance** site and header, and **staging/live migration**. * However, just today I updated my staging (i.e. pulled in a new version from live). I see the WooCommerce label “LIVE” on my staging site now as well. * Two things I want to leave here: 1. the label is **confusing**, you would need an additional tooltip to tell what it actually means for the individual situation which makes it useless 2. it **takes space** and is super **intrusive** in my opinion; why would we make an already bad UI even worse? * Thread Starter [jusemora30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jusemora30/) * (@jusemora30) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18013763) * Thank you [@lhornaday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lhornaday/) ! * That snippet worked perfect!! that LIVE was very annoying lol * [Marty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bozzmedia/) * (@bozzmedia) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18013806) * Related thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-live-label-on-wordpress-toolbar-why/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-live-label-on-wordpress-toolbar-why/) * Github request to make this optional/configurable: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/51389](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/51389) * [ChrisCree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chriscree/) * (@chriscree) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18014080) * This new “Live” badge needs to be easily disabled via settings and should have been disabled by default on existing live WooCommerce installations. It’s causing unnecessary confusion for my clients who have had stores up and running for years. * [marketingspectrum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marketingspectrum/) * (@marketingspectrum) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18014224) * Such an unprofessional move. Can’t comprehend this was discussed and agreed upon by a team. Remove it asap please * Plugin Support [Shameem – a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shameemreza/) * (@shameemreza) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18015645) * Hi Everyone. * We understand your concern about the “Live” feature appearing on the admin top bar after the recent update. We appreciate the feedback and understand how this can be confusing, especially when working with staging and live sites. * Currently, there isn’t an in-built option to disable the “LIVE” label. However, you can remove it by adding a specific code snippet shared by [@lhornaday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lhornaday/) or another one found [here](https://wcwiz.com/remove-woocommerce-site-visibility-badges-from-admin-bar/). * However, The team is already aware of this issue: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/51389](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/51389) * At the time being, we can’t give you an estimate for when the team will look into or fix the issue, as bug reports are prioritized based on a few criteria. Please subscribe to the GitHub issue if you’d like to receive updates. * We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your experience with WooCommerce. Thanks! * [markussss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markussss/) * (@markussss) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18015698) * Maybe we should not call it a ‘bug report’ * I agree with what someone said – everything becomes unreliable when we must add code snippets here and there for temporary “fixes” of “bugs”or confusing situatons due to not well thought through new features. Weeks or months later this is “ solved” and the code snippets stay … very common scenario * I hope you are able to move up the priority. Subsribed to the github issue. * Thanks for the information * [Richard van Denderen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdd/) * (@rdd) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18017614) * It wouldn’t be so much of a problem if it only showed when it would be in maintenance/ coming soon mode. * What makes is so insurmountable stupid that it also ignores the `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE` when that is set. * [Zee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doublezed2/) * (@doublezed2) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-admin-bar/#post-18019290) * Hello [Richard van Denderen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdd/), * Thank you for your feedback. * Our devs are actively monitoring the forums and the [GitHub issue](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/51389) page.
