AdminBarNova

AdminBarNova gives you complete control over the WordPress admin bar (toolbar) visibility. With an intuitive modern interface, smooth toggle switches, and advanced features, you can precisely control who sees the admin bar, where, when, and how.

WordPress shows the admin bar to all logged-in users by default. This plugin provides a powerful yet user-friendly interface to manage admin bar visibility while maintaining flexibility and control.

Whether you’re a developer, designer, site administrator, or agency managing multiple sites, AdminBarNova gives you granular control over the admin bar—without editing a single line of code.

🔥 Features

🎯 Role-Based Controls Hide admin bar for specific user roles (Subscriber, Customer, Contributor, Author, Editor) or show only for selected roles. Perfect for restricting access for certain user types while maintaining functionality for others. Custom roles created by other plugins automatically appear in the selection list.

👥 User-Based Overrides Hide or show admin bar for specific individual users. User settings override role settings, giving you ultimate flexibility. Great for providing special access to specific users without changing their role.

💻 Frontend Controls Hide admin bar completely on frontend or show only on frontend (hide in admin area). Ideal for creating a cleaner frontend experience while keeping the toolbar in the admin area.

📱 Device Targeting Hide admin bar on Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile devices with automatic device detection. Perfect for responsive designs where the admin bar might interfere with the mobile experience.

⏰ Time-Based Scheduling Schedule when the admin bar should be hidden. Set specific time ranges and days of the week. Perfect for maintenance windows, office hours, or scheduled content updates.
