HELP! How to remove or hide Admin Bar front end

Have tried adding this to your active theme’s functions.php:
add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

Before view your page, try:
– flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as browser and/or server caches (memcached or APC or xcache, etc.).
– To clear cache in your browser, press clrl+f5 keys simultaneously. Also, try different computer/different browser.
– Ask you hosting provider if they are using something to cache your site’s output (like Varnish, etc.; some cut-rate shared hosting account may do that). Varnish (generally) does not cache wp-admin, just front-end.

the code didn’t work either, tried different browsers as well, could it be on godaddy’s server?

Hi @joelpastor,
Please add the following lines of code in your functions.php file in the top, it will hide the admin bar for all the non-admin users.

// Hide Admin Bar For Non-admin Users
add_action(‘after_setup_theme’, ‘remove_admin_bar’);
function remove_admin_bar() {
if (!current_user_can(‘administrator’) && !is_admin()) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}
}

Hope this will serve the purpose!

That didn’t work as well, I added it to the very top of the function.php in my theme folder and it shows the code at the top of my webpage. any other suggestion?

I tried both and no luck at all. I tried this too “Auto Hide Admin Bar” which works temporary, it hide the bar but when you hover over the top edge of the webpage it brings the admin bar back.

whats crazy is that, the admin bar is not showing on my admin log in anymore but it shows on the very basic role/subscriber
