Description

This plugin removes the visible scrollbar from your website across all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) using CSS techniques. It ensures that users can still scroll through the content without seeing the scrollbar, providing a cleaner and more modern look.

Installation

  1. Upload the hide-scrollbar folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install it directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. The scrollbar will be hidden automatically—no additional configuration needed!
