Hi, Kyle. Thanks for the note here…it sounds like you’re upset, and I apologize this feature has left you feeling that way. We just recently concluded our first usability test and interestingly enough found that the majority of users who’ve installed 2.0.7 have found admin bar Events menu intuitive. The goal there is to make things easier on site administrators. That being said, I can understand if you didn’t want users on a membership site to see it and am happy to help you out in finding a resolution.

To address your specific question: I asked our dev about this and he was able to provide me with some code for your functions.php file that should do the trick. Check it out: https://gist.github.com/2951975. Alternatively, you could of course always disable the admin bar entirely for your frontend users, under their specific profile pages, so no admin bar options at all were present. Your note has also pushed us to plan for adding this setting as a constant that users can enable/disable as they see fit with a line of code in their wp-config file. Thanks for your help in getting that on the docket, too.

I hope this does the trick in resolving your issue and gets the site back to where you want it to be. If there are other features that you think aren’t necessary (the “loads of crap” you reference above), I’d be interested in hearing what those were so we could assess all viewpoints in plotting future release cycles. My email address is rob (a) tri.be should you ever want to send over your thoughts.

Thanks again for your support and patience so far. Please let us know what else we can do.

This works BUT DO NOT use the in you Fuctions.php file in your theme folder.

Wouldn’t let me add code to the comment above. Basically don’t use the first line of code they provided. Just the rest of it.

Hi all, you can add the above code to your functions.php but you likely won’t need the opening PHP tags because PHP will probably already be open but this is something you’ve got to figure out on your own because it’s going to be different in every functions.php file. Basically if PHP is open you don’t need to open it again. If it’s closed from a previous block of code, you’ll need to re-open it. Here is a good intro to PHP everyone should ready before dabbling: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_syntax.asp

I hope that helps!
