Disable the new admin bar in wordpress

Yep a geeky thing .. today word press updated to version 3.1

It comes with a new “admin bar” that can upset older themes, however disabling it is not that hard (if you know your way around wordpress coding)

in your themes folder there is a file called functions.php

add this to the end of the file:


< ?

function loudas_hide_admin_bar_settings() { ?>

<style type="text/css">
    .show-admin-bar { display: none; }
</style>
< ?php }

function loudas_disable_admin_bar() {
    add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
    add_action( 'admin_print_scripts-profile.php','loudas_hide_admin_bar_settings' );
}

add_action( 'init', 'loudas_disable_admin_bar' , 9 );

?>
