Remove the comment and new icons from admin bar?

Client Dash does not currently support modifying the admin bar (toolbar).

It is fairly simple to do though. Either from within your theme’s functions.php file (not advised) or from a new plugin (advised), enter code like below:

add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'my_modify_toolbar', 999 );

function my_modify_toolbar( $wp_admin_bar ) {

    $user = wp_get_current_user();
	
    if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $user->roles ) ) {

        $wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'comments' );
        $wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'new-content' );
    }
}

If you want to see what nodes exist, so you can know what you need to remove, add this:

add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'my_show_toolbar_nodes', 999 );

function my_show_toolbar_nodes( $wp_admin_bar ) {
    
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        echo '<pre>';
        var_dump( $wp_admin_bar->get_nodes() );
        echo '</pre>';
    }
}

By reloading the page, you will see a bunch of information below the admin bar. Note, if this is a live site, everyone will be able to see it.

Note, in the above example, replace “subscriber” with the role you want to remove nodes for.

Hope that helps!
