Do you want to clean your WordPress admin bar and get rid of unnecessary items? When you’re logged into your WordPress site, you’ll see several links in the top admin bar. While some of them are helpful, not all of them are necessary. By removing the extra links, you can create a cleaner, more focused workspace.
