I’m not seeing it on your site.

Have you checked while logged out?

The admin bar appearing across your entire site is normal, but only for logged in users.

Hi James,

A friend, not a user, noticed it on the subpages. I turned off show toolbar header for me. Purged cashing, reloaded in and selected Visit site, and the header toolbar was still there. Went to second browser, cleaned history, goggled site and went to a Pro staff page, and it’s there.

Did you log out of your site before checking? You need to do that.

Here’s what I see: https://snipboard.io/zC1X6S.jpg

If you still see the admin bar after logging out from your site, please use https://snipboard.io to share a screenshot.

A friend looking at my site sent me this image in messenger, asking why she was seeing this.

It might be that I sent her a link while logged into WordPress. How would I turn off WordPress auto log in, which only seems to auto log me in when I navigate to a non homepage?

Unless you’ve added a plugin that sends direct login links, the only way to log in to WordPress is by entering your username and password at wp-login.php.

No such plugin. From btoopen.ca I was getting the toolbar showing me as auto login when navigating the site even though I had the toolbar turned off. And I was clearing site cache and browser history. Just added inactive logout plugin, cleared cache and history – toolbar and auto login is no longer happening. Might be fixed.

I’m still not sure what you mean by auto-login.

WordPress does keep you logged in for 2 weeks if you choose the “remember me” option when logging in with your username and password, just like most sites do.

If you log out as mentioned earlier, you will need to enter your username and password again to log in, again like most sites do.

If anything is behaving differently, that would mean you used a plugin to modify that system.

Yes, I read that WordPress will keep auto log you in after for a couple days of last activity or you can asked it to remember your for a longer timeframe. Two issues was with toolbar turned off it would still appear on sub pages and it showed ne logged in

Logging out with “Remember me” deactivated took me to the logging screen. Clearing history and browsing again to the website just repeated the cycle, always having a toolbar even though it is turned off on all profiles. With the last plugin active I can now view my site as a visitor without the toolbar showing and being logged in.
