Do you want to remove comments from your WordPress admin bar? It’s easy with our code snippet. Let’s take a look.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

global $wp_admin_bar;
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('comments');
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'remove_comments' );

Well explained! thanks for sharing
You need to remove the Admin page itself; the code above will not do it alone in WP 5.4
/**
* Removes Top Level Menu
*/
function prefix_remove_comments_tl() {
remove_menu_page( ‘edit-comments.php’ );
}
add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘prefix_remove_comments_tl’ );
yep, this did the job for me
Not working for me either…
Avada Child Theme, functions.php
