front end admin bar resolutely missing

  • I’m installing and customizing a new site, something very simple. I’m using the 2016 theme with the simple child theme, and I also use Yellow Pencil. But sparingly. And no blocks. No interest in jumping into that bottomless pit, so I’ll stick with the classic editors.

    Thus far I am the only registered user. I have admin status, of course. According to my user page, I should be seeing the admin bar on the front end, but no such luck. On my other sites I do see the admin bar, just not on this one.

    I have read various threads here, but nothing has worked out. I really hope someone will be able to tell me how to fix this, because I hadn’t realized how much time that up-front admin bar saves.

    Any suggestions much appreciated.

  • You need to think about the reasons why the admin bar is not visible. There are following ways in which admin-bar can be hidden.

    1. By using CSS. I checked there isn’t any CSS in the HTML source of your site that could hide the admin bar
    2. Bu using a plugin for the same. You would like to check if there is any such plugin active
    3. By using WordPress filter and putting this code in the functions.php file of your theme/child theme. You would like to switch to another theme to check if this makes any difference
    4. By disabling the checkbox Show Toolbar when viewing site after editing a user in the Users section in the admin area.
