show_admin_bar(false) still adds CSS and JS

[ahmednuaman]

I'd expect show_admin_bar(false) to totally hide the admin toolbar. Instead it leaves fragments in the app, for example in the header it still adds:

<link rel='stylesheet' id='admin-bar-css'  href='/wp-includes/css/admin-bar.css' type='text/css' media='all' />
<style type="text/css" media="print">#wpadminbar { display:none; }</style>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
	html { margin-top: 28px !important; }
	* html body { margin-top: 28px !important; }
</style>

And in the footer:

<script type='text/javascript' src='/wp-includes/js/admin-bar.js'></script>

Could not reproduce. My guess is that you're calling show_admin_bar( false ); too late.

Both _wp_admin_bar_init() and wp_admin_bar_render() return early and don't include any styles or scripts if the toolbar is properly disabled.

Have you tried disabling all plugins and switching to the default theme (Twenty Eleven)?

When should I call it? I've currently got it at the top of my header.php file, well before WP's header and footer functions.

Replying to ahmednuaman:

When should I call it?

In theme's functions.php file:
​http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/show_admin_bar#Notes

[ahmednuaman]

But I want it to appear within the admin, I don't want it to appear for certain users on the front end, so I followed: ​http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/show_admin_bar#Examples

It will still appear in the admin, since it's a persistent part of the navigation since 3.3 (#17899, #18197, #19685, #19766).

Updated the Codex page. It suggested calling show_admin_bar() in template files before wp_footer(), which is wrong.

It should be called immediately upon plugin load, so functions.php is the appropriate place:

Ok cool, I'll amend the code. Thanks.
