 * I tried to put show_admin_bar(false); anywhere but it doesn’t work. Is there 
   something I must do before?

 * It should work on the front end. As of 3.3 you cannot remove it from the back
   end any more. If it really bothers you, you can hide it with CSS.

 * go to /wp-includes/css/admin-bar.min.css
 * and add this:
 *     ```
       #wpadminbar {
         display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * the exact CSS path is `html body.home div#wpadminbar.no-grav`

 * Yes, but this leaves a gap of 32px on the top of the body.

 * You really shouldn’t alter core files like that, especially when there is a clean
   alternative. Try this:
 *     ```
       add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'jkr_hide_bar', 99 );
       add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'jkr_hide_bar', 99 );
       function jkr_hide_bar() {
          if( is_user_logged_in()) echo '<style type="text/css">
             #wpadminbar { display: none; }
             body { margin-top: -32px !important; }
          </style>';
       }
       ```
   
 * The code goes in functions.php of your theme, or preferably your child theme.
