Help!  I wanted to hide the WP admin bar at the top of the webpages … I found some help on WP.org, which advised to drop a line of code into the functions.php file.

I did so, but it didn’t work, and there was a disastrous side effect – I couldn’t navigate back into my admin area, or log out of the public website – I kept getting re-directed to a blank page.

I’ve deleted the new line of code, and re-saved the settings in functions.php, so it SHOULD be back to normal … BUT IT ISN’T!  The problems remain.

I’m no programming genius.  I don’t know what to do.  But I have a horrible feeling …

The current contents of my functions.php file are as follows.  Can anyone either (a) suggest changes to bring normality back, or (b) advise how else to restore normal functions?

thanks!

Okay, in the end I just deactivated, deleted, and uploaded the latest version of Mantra, which SEEMS to have overwritten functionality back to normal.

I saved screenshots of my settings … next time I’ll just export Mantra settings before doing anything ambitious.

There’s still the question of how to (safely) hide the WP admin bar, if anyone has a suggestion …

Users > Your Profile, uncheck “Show Toolbar when viewing site” 😉

Thanks Zed … though I was trying to hide the bar from users, whilst making it available to myself.

In the end I found the admin-bar-disabler plug-in, which did just that …

The admin bar is ONLY visible to authenticated users, so your visitors will never see it.
