  Hi,

  I need to remove the top WordPress bar with ‘My Sites’ and ‘Reader’ from my site jigyasaguru.org.

  I have read two articles on this topic but they are of no help.

  For example:

  Jetpack

  
  I can’t access: Jetpack → Settings → Writing

  General settings –> Writing also does not have thee option to toggle the ‘My Sites’ and ‘Reader’ ‘bar from the site.

  Thanks

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  It’s not possible to remove the WordPress.com admin bar from sites without access to plugins. That means if your site is on the WordPress.com Business plan or higher, you can add custom code to your site, which can replace the WordPress.com admin bar with the default WordPress.org admin bar.

  Because of how WordPress.com sites below the WordPress.com Business plan are set up, it’s not possible to remove the WordPress.com admin bar.

  May I know why you’d like to remove it? If the concern is that your visitors will see it, please note that only users who are logged into their own WordPress.com account will see the admin bar. Logged-our visitors do not see the admin bar at the top.

  Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.

  Thank you. That works. Did not realize that it is not shown to non admin users.

  @avantikaemail, logged-in users who are not admins will see their own admin bar with a reader button and an option to follow your site, but they won’t be able to access admin areas on your site. I hope that helps!
