About This Plugin
Hide Admin Bar Based On User Roles gives you complete control over who sees the WordPress toolbar.
Whether you are running a membership site, a WooCommerce store, or simply want a cleaner frontend for your subscribers, this plugin lets you hide the admin bar with precision — by role, capability, device, page, or time. Stop exposing backend links to users who don’t need them.
The plugin is lightweight, developer-friendly, and works immediately upon activation — no configuration required to get started.
