Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to ‘Settings > Hide Adminbar’ to configure the visibility for user roles. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin hide the admin bar in the WordPress dashboard?

No, it’s lightweight and has no performance impact. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0ed06d5ee25d3359e0496869d96fc17d04dea11d8295ffc8520c5ad78a76e106? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super easy to use — just select the roles you want to hide the admin bar from.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-easy-to-use-just-select-the-roles-you-want-to-hide-the-admin-bar-from/)󠁿 [Kirtikumar Solanki](https://profiles.wordpress.org/solankisoftware/) August 25, 2025 It’s a great solution for site owners who want to provide a clean, distraction-free experience for users without backend access.
