How do I remove the admin bar (styling) from frontend only?

When logged in, the admin bar adds the following to my page <head> section:

<style media="screen" type="text/css">
    html { margin-top: 28px !important; }
    * html body { margin-top: 28px !important; }
</style>

Now, I can remove this by disabling the admin bar

/* Disable the Admin Bar. */
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );

or removing it completely

/* Remove admin bar */
remove_action('init', 'wp_admin_bar_init');

I would like to keep the admin bar in the admin interface and only remove the CSS from front end.

I already use CSS reset where I set margin: 0px, but the admin-bar styling overrides this.

So how can I remove the styling from front end?

PS. I know I can disable the admin bar per user, but that’s not what I want.

  1. function hide_admin_bar_from_front_end(){
      if (is_blog_admin()) {
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    }
    add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'hide_admin_bar_from_front_end' );
    

    Edit:

    As @Walf suggested in the comments, this could be writen as:

    add_filter('show_admin_bar', 'is_blog_admin');
    
  2. f you want to remove the admin bar (toolbar) AND the bump CSS from your page, use this:

    function wpse_99333_hide_admin_bar_from_front_end(){
      if ( is_blog_admin() ) {
        return true;
      }
      remove_action( 'wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb' );
      return false;
    }
    add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'wpse_99333_hide_admin_bar_from_front_end' );
    

    The _admin_bar_bump_cb function is the one that inserts the CSS (located in wp-includes/admin-bar.php)

  3. I would do something like this :

    Remove admin bar / CSS in head / body class

    show_admin_bar(false);
    

    or if you just want to : Remove html margin-top CSS in <head>

    function remove_admin_bar_bump() {
       remove_action('wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb');
    }
    add_action('get_header', 'remove_admin_bar_bump');
    

    Tested : Version 4.7.3

  4. I recently had to do this, I just wanted wordpress’s default inline css styles (for the admin bar) removed, but I did want the admin bar to remain. I was displaying the admin bar at the bottom of the page, not the top.

    Here is what got rid of injecting the styles from the _admin_bar_bump_cb function for me. I added the following to my functions.php

    // remove wordpress trying to style the admin bar with inline css
    function hide_admin_bar_from_front_end(){
      remove_action( 'wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb' );
      return true;
    }
    add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'hide_admin_bar_from_front_end' );
