What This Tool Does

Hide admin bar for non-admin users removes the WordPress toolbar from frontend pages for users who are not administrators. Customers get a cleaner storefront and portal experience, while administrators still see their normal WordPress toolbar.

This is a presentation control, not a permission system. A customer can still try to visit /wp-admin directly unless Admin Dashboard Access is also configured.

When to Use This

• Your members see the black WordPress toolbar after logging in.
• Your storefront should look like a branded customer portal, not a WordPress admin session.
• You want support staff and administrators to keep toolbar shortcuts while customers do not see them.

How to Configure It

1. Go to ArraySubs -> Settings -> Toolkit.
2. In Admin Bar, turn on Hide admin bar for non-admin users.
3. Click Save Settings.
4. Open the storefront as a customer and confirm the toolbar is gone.
5. Open the storefront as an administrator and confirm the toolbar still appears.

Settings Reference

Important Notes

• Administrators always keep the toolbar.
• This does not block direct /wp-admin access.
• This does not change user roles or capabilities.
• Use it with Admin Dashboard Access for a complete customer-facing cleanup.
