Control front-end admin toolbar visibility for customer-facing roles on eCommerce, membership, and LMS sites.

== Description ==

Admin Toolbar Visibility Control gives site owners centralized role-based control over the front-end WordPress admin toolbar.

WordPress already includes a per-user profile setting for the toolbar. This plugin is for stores, membership sites, LMS portals, customer dashboards, and client-facing websites where admins need a cleaner front-end experience for groups of users.

Use it to hide the front-end toolbar for roles such as customers, subscribers, members, students, buyers, or any selected custom role.

= Built for customer-facing WordPress sites =

The plugin is useful for:

* WooCommerce customer accounts
* SureCart customer portals
* Easy Digital Downloads buyers
* Paid Memberships Pro members
* MemberPress members
* LearnDash students
* LMS and customer dashboards
* Client-facing logged-in websites

= What stays protected =

* Administrators are never affected.
* wp-admin screens are never affected.
* Logged-out visitors are not affected.
* Roles you do not select are not affected.

= Smart role recommendations =

The settings page detects supported active plugins and highlights relevant customer-facing roles when they exist:

* WooCommerce
* SureCart
* Easy Digital Downloads
* Paid Memberships Pro
* MemberPress
* LearnDash

If no supported plugin is active, you can still use the generic role-based control.

== Installation ==

2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings > Admin Toolbar.
4. Enable toolbar visibility control.
5. Select the roles that should not see the front-end toolbar.
6. Save your changes.
