Admin bar not working, Fatal Error in admin-bar.php?

  • My site is using the EvoLve theme, which is working well with one exception, not sure if it’s related to the theme or not. The admin bar that appears normally when I am signed in doesn’t show up, but is simply white space. At the bottom of the page, I see an error being displayed, which reads

    Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/japancpi/public_html/wp-includes/admin-bar.php on line 198

    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I’m not very experienced with trouble-shooting WordPress yet. Thanks!

  • Switch to the twentyten theme and see if the error goes away.

    Nope, same problem on the twentyten theme. Thanks for the suggestion, now I know it’s not the theme that’s causing the problem.

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    Just deactivated all plugins, then reloaded my main page, and no change.

    I should note too, that I had a previous installation which I completely removed, and then reinstalled from scratch, before reimporting my content from my backup (which also gave me trouble, though I was able to resolve that). It failed to show me the admin bar both before and after that reimport, though.

    EDIT: Is there any way that I can just disable the admin bar? I won’t really be using it anyways, and it wouldn’t hurt me in any way to just get rid of it.

    Go to dashboard, users, your profile.
