Hide Admin Bar for a Specific User
If you’d wish to disable the admin bar for a selected user only, it’s very easy.
Navigate to the Users page and click on Edit for the specified user.
Inside the edit user screen, uncheck the ‘show Toolbar when viewing site’ box and click on update profile.
After saving the changes, this specific user won’t see the admin bar again.
There aren’t many reasons to disable the toolbar for less than one user. you’ll want to cover it instead for everybody or show it only to users of a particular role.
We can do this by employing a WordPress function or by employing a plugin. i will be able to show you both options. Let’s start by adding or editing functions that change the code.

Scroll to rock bottom of the file and paste your chosen desired function from below.

add_action(‘after_setup_theme’, ‘pfwp_remove_admin_bar’);
function pfwp_remove_admin_bar() {
if ( !in_array( ‘administrator’, (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles ) ) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}
}
Make sure to click on the Save Changes button after pasting the functions.
If you don’t wish to use functions and would like employing a plugin, follow the section below.

The first and therefore the easiest method to cover the WordPress admin bar is by employing a plugin.
First, navigate to Plugins -> Add New and look for Hide Admin Bar supported User Roles.

After activating the plugin, navigate to Settings -> Hide Admin Bar Settings.

All the opposite users, including the administrator and therefore the editor will keep seeing the bar.
In the third option, you’ll be ready to disable the admin bar to users supported their roles.
If for instance , you’d wish to hide the bar to all or any role users except the admin, author, editor, and contributor, confirm you check all boxes except theirs.
Whatever you chose, don’t forget to scroll to rock bottom of the page and click on on the Save Changes button.
