Hidden admin bar is not hidden with Branda

Hi @mcstevem

I hope you are doing well today.

Based on the page source it does not look like wordpress site (that template). However, based on screenshot, where your users are logged in, and with review of same page source it seems that your template does not call WP core at all. What I mean here styles and JS files. That is why your admin bar look like this.

First solution will be to edit each user profile and disable this feature: Show Toolbar when viewing site.

Second solution will be to use this CSS in Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS section:

.logged-in #wpadminbar {display:none;}

Note this will affect other roles, including admins.

Kind Regards,
Kris

I can confirm this is an issue. Disabling “show toolbar when viewing site” does not actually hide the toolbar, and using the 'show_admin_bar' filter is overridden by Branda. I’ve had to resort to conditionally adding CSS to hide the toolbar manually.

Hi @lulech23

Thank you for the update.

I checked and can confirm, yes it will be overridden by the Branda plugin.

displays above the newsletter contents for logged-in users when viewing or previewing the page;

Is it any specific role that you would be looking into hiding the bar? You can use Branda > Admin Area > Admin Bar > Toolbar Visibility and disable the front end using Branda instead CSS or that filter.

In my case, I want the admin toolbar to show for Administrators and Editors only. I have Branda set to hide the admin bar for Subscribers and Guests, but the toolbar is not actually hidden for these roles. Instead, the toolbar is visible, but empty (no links). Maybe it’s because I have also customized the content of the admin bar? If so, there would appear to be a conflict between the customization and visibility features in Branda.

Since admin bar hooks in functions.php are overridden by Branda as well, that’s why I’ve had to resort to CSS overrides. Otherwise, Branda forces it to be visible regardless of settings.

This is what our developer did in the page template for the particular custom post type where we want to remove the Admin Bar:

remove_all_filters ('show_admin_bar', 9223372036854775807);
add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

The first line removes all filters being applied to the show_admin_bar hook. It needs to have that very large “priority” number, because Branda set their filter to that priority.

Once that filter is gone, the second line removes the Admin Bar from that page.

Hi @mcstevem

Thank you for the explanation,

I assume that priority will bypass the issue and it is now “Resolved” ?

Yes, at least it resolved the problem we were having.
