Here is a variation of some code I found on Yoast.com to disable the WP admin bar for non-admins only.
function yoast_hide_admin_bar_settings()
{
?>
<style type="text/css">
.show-admin-bar {
display: none;
}
</style>
<?php
}
function yoast_disable_admin_bar()
{
if(!current_user_can('administrator'))
{
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
add_action( 'admin_print_scripts-profile.php', 'yoast_hide_admin_bar_settings' );
}
}
add_action('init', 'yoast_disable_admin_bar', 9);
Just copy and paste this code into your functions.php or another plugin/theme file that can add hooks. Save/upload and watch it work.
Let me know if you have any trouble using this.
