The WordPress admin bar appears at the top of the website when users are logged in. If you don’t need it on the frontend, you can disable it.

Steps

  1. Open your WordPress theme functions.php file.
  2. Add the code below at the end of the file.
  3. Save the file.
  4. Refresh your website.

Done — the admin bar will no longer appear on the frontend for logged-in users.

show_admin_bar(false);
