Question

Answer 1

wp_footer() , 

add this function to footer.php

Answer 2

Beware of unclosed HTML tags above <?php wp_footer(); ?>. Unclosed tags in the source will have closing tags generated by the browser and can suck in the WordPress admin bar HTML.

...
    <div class="hidden-by-css">
      <span> You can't see this</span>

    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
  </body>
</html>

That will cause the HTML generated for the admin bar to get sucked into the .hidden-by-css DIV and your admin bar won't show up.

So make sure you close all your tags. :)

I know this is an old question, but another option - If you purchased (use) a pre-made theme make sure that theme does not remove the toolbar in its code.

Answer 4

Most of the time the wp_footer() call is right where it should be so if you still can't see the admin bar then try the following:

1. log out of the backend

2. navigate to the front-end

3. clear your browser cache

4. log back in using the absolute url i.e. yourwebsite.co.uk/wp-admin

   and then see if it comes up - worked for me.

Also make sure the "Show Toolbar when viewing site" box is checked in your user profile page or whatever you try ain't gonna work my friend!.

Answer 5

Still working on this, but there is a conflict with Woocommerce. if deactivated, toolbar is there. Active, no toolbar. More info here.
