Hello all!
I have a quick question that I think would benefit everyone using wordpress.
How do you remove the Wordpress admin bar so that only you, the admin, can see it but other site members or users and visitors cannot see it?
Thanks in advanced

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

I tried out 2 other browsers besides chrome and the bar still appears with the wordpress logo Log in Register and a search bar.
Using Wordpress 4.2.1.

14,268 PointsOh, I gotcha. I'd imagine there is a setting in your theme to disable those links (I don't think you'd have to edit the php files directly to remove those links, but every theme is different).
