How to Remove All Admin Bar Menu Items?

1 comment

1. I’m solving this getting all nodes from the Admin Bar, iterating through them and removing all that doesn’t have a parent.

   An exception is made to the User Actions menu (“Howdy, user_name”), which needs an extra checking.

   add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'wpse_76491_admin_bar_menu', 200 );
   
   function wpse_76491_admin_bar_menu() 
   {
       global $wp_admin_bar;   
       if ( !is_object( $wp_admin_bar ) )
           return;
   
       // Clean the AdminBar
       $nodes = $wp_admin_bar->get_nodes();
       foreach( $nodes as $node )
       {
           // 'top-secondary' is used for the User Actions right side menu
           if( !$node->parent || 'top-secondary' == $node->parent )
           {
               $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( $node->id );
           }           
       }
       // end Clean
   }
   

   This produces the following Admin Bar:
   

   ---

   The only remnant is the Debug Bar plugin, which is added with a priority of 1000.

   add_action('admin_bar_menu', array(&$this, 'admin_bar_menu'), 1000);

   The problem is that if we hook with a priority higher than 200, we cannot add items to the top-secondary node. And that’s a mystery for me…

   But ok, that’s a developer item and shouldn’t be an issue. And all 4 extra items added by plugins were removed.

   For completeness, an example of what to add after we clean up the Admin Bar. The following goes after // end Clean:

   // Conditional button, 'Go to Site' or 'Go to Admin' rendered
   $title_goto = is_admin() ? 'Go to site' : 'Go to admin';
   $url_goto = is_admin() ? site_url() : admin_url();
   $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( 
       'id' => 'go_to_site_or_admin', 
       'title' => $title_goto, 
       'href' => $url_goto
   ) );
   // end Conditional button
   
   // Conditional Logout or Profile button
   $title_logout = is_admin() ? 'Logout' : 'Profile';
   $url_logout = is_admin() ? wp_logout_url() : get_edit_profile_url( get_current_user_id() );
   $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
       'id'    => 'wp-custom-logout',
       'title' => $title_logout,
       'parent'=> 'top-secondary',
       'href'  => $url_logout
   ) );
   // end Conditional Logout/Profile button
   
   // Codex search form item
   $codex_search = '<form target="_blank" method="get" action="http://wordpress.org/search/do-search.php">
       <input type="text" onblur="this.value=(this.value=='') ? 'Search the Codex' : this.value;" onfocus="this.value=(this.value=='Search the Codex') ? '' : this.value;" maxlength="100" value="Search the Codex" name="search" class="adminbar-input">
   </form>';
   
   $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( 
       'parent' => 'top-secondary', 
       'title' => $codex_search, 
       'href' => FALSE 
   ) );
   

   This will produce a different Admin Bar if viewing the admin or the site.
