Why is there a 'Navigate to admin' footer banner on my website?

Why do I see a Shopify footer banner showing up on my website with the wording, “Navigate to admin” ?

This suddenly showed up after the completion of nesting a few menu items to build drop-menus.

@RRGoodluck

Hi, @RRGoodluck !

Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.

This admin panel is shown on your store since you are logged in and can be very handy when making changes to your store. Rest assured, your customers will not see this bar as they are not logged into your profile. For instance, if you access your site on a different device, or through an incognito tab, you will notice that the panel is not visible.

If you would like to remove the bar completely, you can follow the steps below. Before doing so, I recommend creating a backup when making changes to your code.

  1. From your Shopify admin, to to Online Store > Theme.
  2. Find the theme you want to edit and then click Action > Edit code.
  3. In the Assets section, click any style file (.CSS) to open the file in the online code editor.
  4. Add the below code at the end of file: #admin-bar-iframe{display:none!important;}

That should remove the bar from your store even when you are logged in.

I’m having issues with this bar causing me not to be able to click on links in the page. The links work on any other browser that I’m not logged in to Shopify on, and they work whenever the bar does not come up (because it doesn’t come up on all of the pages, only a handful). I’d really love to be able to disable this somehow without messing around in my CSS, especially since it won’t even let me click on the “navigate to admin” link in the bar.

Hi, @AlizonD !

Thank you for joining this thread.

I understand that you are having a similar issue with this bar preventing you from browsing through your Shop. To provide some context, this admin panel is shown on your store since you are logged in, so that is why you are not seeing it on your other browsers. Have you tried viewing the page on the Theme Editor and seeing if these issues persist?

At the moment, the admin panel is not able to be disabled without changing some code in the theme. I will be sure to pass on this feedback to our developers to see what can be done about this in the future.

Thanks again!
