Admin bar not showing when plugin is activated

You are the first person to mention this issue and I could not recreate it on any of my WordPress sites. Would it be possible for you to send me and admin login to your site so that I can see it in action and debug it in place?

You can email me directly: eli AT gotmls DOT net

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I sent my login data to your email address.

Thank you, I got the email but the password did not work, so I reset the password and now I am in.

I see the problem where the admin bar does not show if my plugin is active. I am going through my code and enabling only pieces of it at a time to see what part is causing this issue.

I will let you know as soon as I have found the problem. Thanks you once gain for giving me the opportunity to troubleshoot this issue on your site.

Aloha, Eli

I figured out that it has something to do with the use of session_start() in my plugin. I removed the session_start from my code and your admin bar is now showing up even when my plugin is active.

You are using the Brute-Force login patch provided by my plugin and this requires an active session to login. This means that, with the session_start disabled in my main plugin code, you will only be able to login from the wp-login.php page. That should be fine for now, but if you ever want to use a sidebar login or any kind of dynamic in-page login form then it may cause false positives on the brute-force protection, which will mean a second step to login.

Other than that everything should be fine and you can now use my plugin without the admin bar disappearing ??

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Aloha, Eli

Hi,

thank you so much for your kind help.

Sorry to bother you again. I still have this issue. The admin bar appears alright on the back end but not on front. What can i do?

Thank you.

I think this is the same problem. Only, my new login patch starts the session in …/plugins/gotmls/safe-load/session.php, try remming out these two lines in that file:

if (!@session_id())
	@session_start();

so it looks like this:

//if (!@session_id())
//	@session_start();

Let me know if that fixes it again for you.

Aloha, Eli

Hi,

i didnt find such a file, i dont even have a folder called safe-load. Although I do have a file called safe-load.php so i did the editing in that file but it didnt work. Sorry.

what version of my plugin are you using?

Sorry, seems like i didnt have the latest version. I upgraded just now and the bad appears even without modifying the file. Sorry about worrying you for nothing and thank you again.
