CSV stands for Comma-Separated Values, and CSV files are text files that look something like this:
Username,Email,Address,Contact johndoe,john@example.com,"71 Pickering Street, Singapore, Singapore",+65-91234567 janedoe,jane@website.com,"24 Raffles Lane, Singapore, Singapore",+65-81234567 marysmith,mary@smith.com,"83 Riveting Road, Singapore, Singapore",+65-97654321 bobsmith,bob@smith.com,"84 Riveting Road, Singapore, Singapore",+65-87654321
Essentially, the CSV file format is meant to represent tabular data. The above CSV file represents the following table:
| Username | Address | Contact | |
|---|---|---|---|
| johndoe | john@example.com | 71 Pickering Street, Singapore, Singapore | +65-91234567 |
| janedoe | jane@website.com | 24 Raffles Lane, Singapore, Singapore | +65-81234567 |
| marysmith | mary@smith.com | 83 Riveting Road, Singapore, Singapore | +65-97654321 |
| bobsmith | bob@smith.com | 84 Riveting Road, Singapore, Singapore | +65-87654321 |
Due to their tabular nature, data in a CSV file can very easily be imported into and stored in an SQL table. The commands to do that, however, are not very well-documented online.
If a CSV file does not open as a text file on your computer, that’s because your computer is opening the file with a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. In such a case, to see the file as text, you will want to open these files on a text editing software such as Notepad.

Whenever you are logged in to WordPress, there is a black admin bar that shows up above every page. On front-end pages, you can call show_admin_bar(false) in one of your plugin or theme functions to remove it. Individual users can also hide the admin bar on their account’s profile page.
All of this, however, doesn’t work if you are on a backend page. No matter what you do, the admin bar will always show up in those circumstances, unless you remove the admin bar programmatically — this article is here to show you how, as well as why you would want to do such a thing.
