Sometimes, the best intentions completely miss the mark. This is the case of the new WordPress Admin bar; to me, ita big nuisance that interferes with the development of a template. The WordPress Admin bar appears at the top of your blog if you are logged into WordPress.

You can turn the Admin Bar off on a user-by-user basis by editing a user’s settings. But if you want to turn it off for the whole site, here’s how:

1. Locate the functions.php file in your blog theme directory; for example /wp_content/themes/your_theme/functions.php.
2. Insert the following line:
   add_filter( ‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );
3. Save the file and upload it to your web server.

Important: When you edit the functions.php file, make sure you insert the line before or after an existing function. To locate the beginning of a function, find text that looks similar to the following:

function some_text() {

And then add your line:

add_filter( ‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );

function some_text() {
