This code is triggered with the function:<?php wp_footer(); ?>
When a theme is missing this code, or a plugin does something that messes it up, then you will end up with the missing WordPress admin bar issue.
Here are 5 things to check:
If you've done all of the above & the WordPress admin bar is still not showing up, check for CSS/HTML conflicts.
If adding the wp_footer() function to your theme does not solve the issue for you, then there are other things you can do to troubleshoot this error.
If you switch back to a default theme, you may see the wp_footer function in your theme files, but the admin bar still might not work. In this case, you need to switch to a default theme to make sure that your current theme is not causing this issue.
A poorly coded plugin can cause this error as well, so to check if a plugin has caused this issue, you need to deactivate and re-activate all plugins one by one. If this solves your problem then one of your plugins was causing the issue.
Lastly, you can Enable Debugging Mode In WordPress To View Errors In WP-Config. WordPress will now show you warnings and notices that were previously hidden. These warnings and notices can hint towards the file causing this issue.Using Wordpress? Get our lightening fast Wordpress Optimised Hosting.
