By default, WordPress may show the admin bar on the frontend to logged-in users. But with some themes or setups, guest users (non-logged-in visitors) might still see the admin bar — especially if you’re using caching, preview modes, or injected templates.
The Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles plugin makes it easy to completely hide the toolbar for all guest users with just one setting.
