Hide Admin Bar

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 74% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   Pff, someone left a 1 star review just because you easily can fix it with CSS. Cmon. The plugin does what it says without hassle. Clean 5 star from me. I would like to add a feedback here too: In the settings you can hide the admin panel for specific user roles – would it be possible to implement hiding the admin panel for specific usernames?

   My problem was me – after installing BuddyPress – that I had two login options – the wp-one and the BBpress one. In order not to confuse my new visitors – with that plugin I was able to disable the WordPress-plugin. This topic was modified 1 year, 12 months ago by yesnotes.

   So many plugins want to do a million different functions. Not this one. It just does one thing, but it does it well.

   #wpadminbar {display:none} works just as well using CSS. I can’t believe someone would actually use a plugin for this! LOL This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by gtswhitt.
