Hide Admin Bar from Non-Admins Plugin

Hides the WordPress toolbar (admin bar) for all non-admin users. Simple plugin with no settings to configure.

Install, activate, and you’re done.

This plugin hides the WordPress Toolbar (admin bar) for all visitors and users without the ‘administrator’ role. It’s a very simple plugin with no settings to configure.

Use this plugin for sites with only one admin who needs access to the dashboard and the admin bar.
This plugin is super lightweight, with just a few lines of code.
If you need to show the toolbar for other user roles, use the filter habfna_show_admin_bar_roles.

This plugin is a tweak of the code by Yoast to hide the admin bar for non-admins only.

FAQ

How do I block non-admins from access the WordPress admin area?

This plugin does not handle any user redirection. It’s only for hiding the admin bar. If you are building a site that needs more robust user management, consider our WordPress membership plugin, Paid Memberships Pro.

Paid Memberships Pro allows anyone to build a membership site—for free. Restrict content, accept payment, and manage subscriptions right from your WordPress admin.
