Remove Admin Toolbar

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 · 100% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Great for those sites that have users logging into the site, but they don’t need the admin bar as everything is done via the menus

   A.) I didn’t need one of those huge plugins with all its options, this simply and perfectly does the job. It removed the toolbar for all users except the admin. B.) Why the heel does WordPress have this as a default and unchangeable option?! Who’s this for? Who wants to allow users into the toolbar?! OK OK, before you rant back on me I know it must be for some of you out there, but c’mon it should have a main toggle somewhere to turn it on and off right? Cmon wordpress (Automattic)!C.) C.) Get this, you’ll be in heaven.
