I, too, am having a version of this issue. I do not have Buddypress, but when someone with a contributor role logs in, for example, the admin bar shows up at the top even though I’ve unchecked the ‘show toolbar when viewing site’ in ‘edit user’ in the Admin panel. I’ve tried adding code into functions.php to make this invisible to specific roles. I’ve used a plugin to try to remove the admin bar – nada. Just can’t get rid of it.
Am I missing something in Geodirectory setup? I do NOT want to allow users to see the wp-admin area so it is toggled to ‘no’ in Geodirectory Settings –> General. I just want them to use the Geodirectory forms that available to them via the loginbox widget.
My concern is that users will see that tool bar, click on +New –> Event, for example, and go nowhere. When you do that, it just reloads the homepage. That will frustrate users!
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
