WordPress already includes a per-user “Show Toolbar when viewing site” profile option. This plugin is for stores, membership sites, LMS portals, customer dashboards, and client-facing websites where administrators need a role-based policy instead of editing users one by one. Choose the roles that should not see the front-end toolbar, review user counts and role recommendations, and save the policy from Settings > Admin Toolbar. #### Built for customer-facing WordPress sites Use it for: * WooCommerce customer accounts * SureCart customer portals * Easy Digital Downloads buyers * Paid Memberships Pro members * MemberPress members * LearnDash students * LMS and customer dashboards * Client-facing logged-in websites #### What stays protected * Administrators are never affected. * wp-admin screens are never affected. * Logged-out visitors are not affected. * Roles you do not select are not affected. #### Smart role recommendations The settings page detects supported active plugins and highlights relevant customer- facing roles when those roles exist: * WooCommerce * SureCart * Easy Digital Downloads * Paid Memberships Pro * MemberPress * LearnDash These are recommendations only. You remain in control of which roles are selected. If no supported plugin is active, you can still use the generic role-based control. ## Screenshots * [[ * Settings page showing global status, detected integrations, role selection, and summary in a clearer section layout. * [[ * Detected integrations and recommended customer-facing roles in the settings screen. * [[ * Plugins screen showing Admin Toolbar Visibility Control active. * [[ * Front-end view confirming administrators still keep the WordPress toolbar. ## Installation 1.

No. The plugin only controls the front-end toolbar. wp-admin screens, including the block editor, are never affected. ### Can administrators lose access to the toolbar? No. Administrators are protected and will continue to see the toolbar. ### Does this replace WordPress’s per-user toolbar profile option? No. WordPress still has the per-user setting. This plugin adds centralized role- based control for site owners. ### Are any roles hidden automatically? No. The plugin can recommend common customer-facing roles, but you choose and save the roles yourself. ### Does this work with custom roles? Yes. Any editable role except Administrator can be selected from the Role Selection table. ### Does this use CSS to hide the toolbar? No. The plugin uses WordPress’s `show_admin_bar` filter. ### Does this track users or send data externally? No. The plugin does not track users, send external requests, or include upsells. ### Does the plugin include Hindi translations? Yes. The settings screen includes bundled Hindi translations for sites using the Hindi locale. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Admin Toolbar Visibility Control” is open source software.
