Black bar at top of web page
-
Now that WordPress changed their login requirements so abruptly, it leaves me with that annoying black bar across the top of the web page.
I have clicked the check box in my proflie that I thought was the correct thing to make this thing disappear, but to no avail.
It was one (of several) reason that I did not like logging into wordpress.
How do I get rid of it?

Since that isn’t available at wordpress.com, that means your site is self-hosted. We have no such setting in our profiles here. You need to head over to the correct forum for the self-hosted software you are using, which is at http://wordpress.ORG/support/ .

This was the box had next to it: “Show the feedback and progress sidebar after posting”
Does this mean I am saddled with this awful bar because I have to login to comment?
It was the major reason for not logging into WordPress.
@Raincoaster – – – thankyou, I was aware of that. It has annoyed me ever since it first appeared.
Oh, to have a system that allows you to comment without all the fuss. Goodness, commenting used to be fun.

To comment using an email address associated either with a username here at wordpress.com, or at gravatar.com, you will have to sign into wordpress.com. Welcome to the latest .COM un-upgrade.

What I forgot to add is that there is no setting to turn off the admin bar while logged in at wordpress.com.

that is indeed a great pity. I am saddened by this news. It is a great annoyance when using ctrl+f to look for things and find entries obscured by this irrelevant detail of software.
I was well aware of the unnecessary enforcement of the login rule. I was not pleased about it and get vague platitudes as responses to my emails saying that it is wordpress policy now and that there is nothing that WordPress can do about the situation. It would seem that this is the limit of their feeling for democracy: impose it and do not listen to the complaints for they cannot change these things once rolled out.
I am continually disappointed by these “improvements” that are brought in that I might enjoy my experience the more. Somehow, it makes me think that these improvements were not for my enjoyment or experience at all.

WordPress.com has never been a democracy. It is a privately-owned subsidiary of Automattic. And you’re right. The changes are not primarily driven by user needs.

that is becoming increasingly clear. It cuts across the grain of my fundamental marketing strategies though – leveraging the USP take a look sometime thecatswhiskers.nl (it is in English skip to marketing). I was going to host this on WordPress – until this latest happening. I could not bring myself to do that for all the advantages it might have brought me.
Keep it open, keep it simple and offer what nobody else can do. Nobody can take it away from you.
What wordpress are doing is acting against this in word and deed. They are defending themselves where they should be sharing. They are closing where they should be opening. They are scared of losing what they cannot lose.
