    Hi, I want to make the top bar disappear.

    I have all things related to the top bar unchecked on theme settings. I’ve tried to use #top-bar { display: none;} in my child theme but nothing seems to work. There’s still a black bar on top of the page.

    Please, please, please help.

    Cheers

    Hi Alyssa

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The fourth setting at Appearance > Theme Settings labelled Top Bar should disable the top bar completely. If it isn’t, try switching to the parent theme to see if the problem relates to your child theme.

    Hi Andrew,

    Is there a specific class for the top bar? I don’t want to risk switching themes.

    I realise it can seem like a big move to temporarily switch themes. I assure you that no content loss will occur. When you switch a theme WordPress is just choosing which folder in /wp-content/themes/ to point to, nothing is changed, no files are altered, nothing in the database is removed. It would be best to isolate why this theme setting isn’t working for you.

    I changed my theme back to the parent theme but the top bar was still there. So I checked the theme settings and anything regarding the top bar was unchecked.

    Thanks for sending your URL. The top bar you’re seeing isn’t generated by the theme. It’s the WordPress admin top bar. Please, check your Plugins list for a plugin that might be adding this functionality.
