Activity

Yes this hides it, not removes it — the entire thing still loads. You should be able to disable this so it does not load every time and slow the theme down.

Notifications should be moved to a templete part.

Rigth now if you disable the admin bar with something like (add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’);) your notification systems break.

This is pretty standard with well coded buddyrpess themes.
