  2. Dear Sarah Gooding
    Not need for a plugin. Add this code in functions.php
    add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );

  3. Thanks Puanthanh, but not everyone is comfortable editing files so it’s nice to let people know about a plugin ;)

    • There are too many useless plugins. Copy and pasting some code into a file isn’t hard and people can learn. I hate… hate… hate… when I’m searching for a solution and the site has nothing but plug-ins… such as this site.

  4. This is available, just scroll down the page at http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.1 under themes…

    Allow turning off the admin bar via no_admin_bar() function, or show_admin_bar filter.

    Much easier.
