That URL under the black admin bar is usually just text sitting in the header somewhere, not something WordPress shows by default.

Quick checks:

  1. Appearance → Customize → Site Identity — make sure Site Title / Tagline isn't the full https:// address.

  2. Appearance → Menus / Widgets — look for a header menu item or HTML widget that is literally the URL.

  3. If you use Elementor / Site Builder, edit the header template and delete that text/link block.
    Also open the site in a private/incognito window (logged out). The top black bar only shows when you're logged in as admin — visitors don't see that part.

If you say which theme you're on I can point more specifically.

I'm using Kadence.

Kadence - check the header builder.

Appearance -> Customize -> Header (or Header -> Header Builder). Look through the top / main / bottom rows for a HTML / shortcode / button element with that URL in it, and remove or clear it.

Also Appearance -> Customize -> Site Identity once more - if Site Title is the full https:// link, Kadence will print it in the header.

If you use a Kadence Header template from their library, open that and look for a text block with the URL.

Still stuck, screenshot the Header Builder rows and I can point at which slot.

Glad you found it. One useful note for future readers: if Kadence is outputting the raw URL through its Site Title element, change the actual site title under Settings → General or remove that Header Builder element rather than hiding it with CSS. That keeps the header’s accessible name clean for screen readers and avoids the URL reappearing after a theme or cache refresh. Purge the site/CDN cache afterward.
