In this post I am showing what happens when all plugins are disabled:
01-1-all plugins inactive
Just to show no plugin is enabled
01-2-admin-adminbar visible
In the Twenty Twenty default theme you can see the admin bar, as expected for admin
01-3-testuser-adminbar visible
In the Twenty Twenty default theme you can also see the admin bar for a normal user (testuser)
In this post I am showing what happens when all plugins except wpForo are disabled:
02-1-Only wpForo plugin active
Just to show wpForo is the only plugin that is enabled
02-2-admin-adminbar visible
Once again, in the Twenty Twenty default theme you can see the admin bar, as expected for admin
02-3-testuser-adminbar NOT visible
This is where things change: a user who is not admin, will see extra padding where the admin bar would be. This happens when "Show Admin Bar for Members" is set to No.
did any of you manage to solve this issue, or are you using a workaround?
Thanks
I remove the space with the code I posted on page 1
add_action('get_header', 'remove_admin_bar_weird_css');
function remove_admin_bar_weird_css() {
remove_action('wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb');
}
and add it again when the admin bar is displayed with css
.logged-in.admin-bar {
margin-top: 32px;
}
and so everything is ok
Thanks @tutrix - this is still a workaround though, isn't it?
I am trying to get to the bottom of whether this issue affects only specific situations or not.
The guys at wpForo seem to suggest this is a localized problem (meaning it does not affect everybody), although I pointed out I was not the only one with this issue.
You would still have the issue, if you hadn't added the extra code, would you?
this is a very old problem with Wordpress when the adminbar is hidden
you can find many similar questions over google search
most users or authors will not see it because they are working with the visible adminbar
I only saw it because I run several blogs and am also often logged in as testuser without the adminbar
Nope, did not solve this :/

But the adminbar is not hidden, that's my entire point. If you check this post above, you will see that WordPress itself behaves normally when all plugins are disabled.
But when you activate only wpForo, with the "Show Admin Bar for Members" set to No, that's when you notice the problem.
How do you explain it?
Thanks

"Show Admin Bar for Members" set to No = means the adminbar is hidden
and only by hidden Adminbar you see the now empty margin-top 32px
and the 2 codes solve the problem
the first code remove the "margin-top 32px" so all is ok when the Adminbar is hidden
the second code add the margin-top 32px so all is ok when the Adminbar is visible
sorry, for me this is not a very big problem
i added the 2 codes and everything works fine
