This gives you options to change who sees the Admin Bar based on their user role, change or override the default styling or remove the Admin Bar altogether. It adds a menu to the Admin Bar which gives you the ability to disable it on a single page or sitewide for a single browser session. WP Custom Admin Bar supports Custom Roles. ### Donations [Contact Me](http://wesleytodd.com/contact) ## Screenshots * [[ * The Administration Options Page * [[ * The Admin Bar Menu * [[ * Styled Admin Bar used on [heyNordyne.com](http://heynordyne.com) * [[ * Styled Admin Bar used on the [Hot Tub Things Blog](http://blog.hottubthings.com) ## Installation 1. Extract ‘wp-custom-admin-bar’ and transfer it to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Visit the setting page to customize your admin bar (be sure to save your settings!) ## FAQ Can I disable the Admin Bar for just one browsing session or on just one specific page? Yes you can! As of version 1.0 there is a menu item in the admin bar to disable the bar on a page by page basis or for the entire site. This setting is for a single browser session, so if you close your browser the settings reset. When I disable the Admin Bar for a given User Role, does it hide the options in their profile page? Yes. Thanks to Rick for the suggestion. Does this plugin support custom roles? Yes!
