WP Extended vs the Hide Admin Bar plugin

The Hide Admin Bar plugin has 20k+ active installs on WordPress.org. If you only need this one job, that’s a fine choice. If the site also needs other modules on this list, it’s one less plugin to update.

The difference: Hide Admin Bar does the same core job inside WP Extended, so it shares one settings screen, one update and one support team with every other module you use.

For developers

Hide Admin Bar has 1 hook for changing its behaviour per project, without editing the plugin.
