How to block/hide items from the top bar of wordpress?

[pazazta]

I have in the top bar of items that I want to remove such as “Yoast SEO”.
I want to remove it only from the top and keep it on the regular menu

In general, top admin menu bar menu is blocked automatically if its correspondent main admin menu item was blocked.

In order to block “Yoas SEO” just at top admin menu bar use this code:

add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'block_top_wp_seo');

function block_top_wp_seo() {
    global $wp_admin_bar;
    
    if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
        return;
    }
    
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('wpseo-menu');

}

Insert into the active theme functions.php file for the single site or setup as a “must use” plugin to aplly it globally to all sites.

How about to opposite way?
Administrator can see some items in top bar.
But shop managers can’t see them (it is not blocked from admin menu)

So how to make sure shop managers can see some plugins’ items in top bar?

[Vladimir]

Top admin menu bar items are the duplicates of the similar items from the main left side admin menu. So if use has access to the admin menu item, then he should have access to the similar item at the top admin menu bar.
If user does not have access to the main admin menu item, then you need to grant him such access, adding to a role a capability, which has administrator, but does not have this role.

Hi Vladimir,
Thanks for quick reply.
I have few plugins, which shop managers can see in left menu but can’t see on top admin menu bar.
May it be related with plugins?
Rank math
Pressable cache manager

Pressable cache management plugin also have same issue.
Admin can access both left and top menus.
Shop manager can access only left menu.
It is related with plugin itself? Where they should update?
