    The Admin Bar is only displayed in the frontend for Admin. But I would like to activate it for editors as well. I already restricted access for subscribers (see screenshot). Why does the admin bar only appear for admins and not for editors?

    Thanks!

    Hi Bernward,

    Thanks for your post. I’ve just tested it on my dev site and it works for me. I’m able to display the admin bar for editors. Could you share your Website WP admin access here in private reply so that we could check on it?

    Hello,

    /wp-admin/ is different than the admin bar. GD does not control whether or not the admin bar is visible to users, generally speaking. The control you mention is for restricting access to WP Admin.

    I recommend you try a plugin to manage the admin bar:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/admin+bar/

    I do not see any plugins on your site that I know would incfluence the admin bar visibility. BP, for example, has a setting to hide the admin bar, but GD does not.
