Admin Module

Clean Admin Bar

Clean Up Admin Bar removes unnecessary elements from the WordPress admin toolbar to create a cleaner, more focused interface. Selectively hide the WordPress logo, site name link, customize menu, updates notification, comments link, new content menu, and help tab. This is particularly useful for client sites where WordPress branding should be minimized, or when the admin bar is cluttered with items from multiple plugins. Each element can be toggled independently, so you keep what is useful and remove what is not. The result is a streamlined toolbar that only shows relevant items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hide the admin bar completely?

This module removes individual items from the bar. To hide the entire admin bar on the frontend, use the Disable Admin Bar Frontend module instead.

Will hiding items affect functionality?

Hiding items only removes them from the toolbar. The underlying features like updates or comments remain accessible through the regular admin menu.

Does this affect all users?

Yes, the settings apply to all users who see the admin bar. For role-based hiding, combine with Hide Admin Bar By Role module.
