I have no admin toolbar.

  • My websites were created after 3.4.2 was released. I have never had to update WP on my sites. The first problem I noticed is that under plugins I have no add new option. I have to add all plugins via my cPanel manually. I can get it done but the add new would be so nice. I added the WP policies plugin but cannot get into settings because I do not have the necessary permissions. As I was searching through the forum for a possible solution, I stated seeing posts that users had lost the admin toolbar after updating to 3.4.2. I saw some very complicated (for me) fixes that seemed to work for some users but I don’t have to knowledge to attempt changing php code. I then found a plugin to download the admin toolbar for versions up to 3.4.2. I successfully downloaded and extracted it but can’t see anything different on WP. Selecting admin on the Howdy dropdown just takes me to my profile page. Is the admin toolbar the same as the user toolbar but with more options or one that’s completely separate. I am the only user for my websites and am the administrator yet I don’t seem to have permissions to do some things. Can anyone help this newbie?

    I posted the screenshot on my food site by mistake. It’s the same address but with food instead of homedecor.

    Sorry, you are responding much faster than others. If you have seen the screenshot I will remove the post.

    Please answer to this ?

    This is what I tried yesterday. I deactivated all plugins, changed all 5 themes to the 2011. I did not reset plugins through FTP. When I checked it, the value was equal to what esmi told me to do in a post last night. I didn’t change anything. I have not deleted and reinstalled yet. I added a new adm user & am waiting for the confirmation email.

    Oops! wp-admin seems to be having issues.

    I installed it and activated it. Don’t see anything new. I don’t know if it’s the theme or me, but none of my widgets are connecting for me like links. I can’t move from site to site. It seems I lost quite a bit of capability with the 2011 theme. Before the only issues were that I didn’t have the add new plugin option and some functions were denied because I did not have the proper permissions.

    For example: I want to put the WP policies on my sites. Under settings if I click on WP policies It says I don’t have permission.

    I even lost the little drop down to select admin at the Howdy, Toni.

    have you tried with an another browser first? (cache probl)

    next step is to create a new user

    then if doesn’t solve the pb -> try with another template

    then if it doesn’t solve the pb -> backup all your article and try to do a clean reinstall of the entire website.

    I use Purely Hosting and cPanel. Would I have to delete everything in cPanel before I do that? I did a full backup about 2 days ago and restored. Can I still use that? I actually copied all posts to MS Word so that I could do whatever and not lose that. I was using Firefox because IE has been slow for me. I can’t lot out on WP on Firefox but I as able to login on EI and have the top toolbar functions back. I forgot how to empty my cache.
