Missing admin bar

  • Hi all.

    i have some problems with my admin bar not showing up on pages. I now always have to type /wp-admin/ behind my homepage to enter this area. I have looked around on the internet and tried the following:

    1: Check if my theme has wp_head();
    It does
    2: Check if my theme has wp_footer();
    It does
    3: Check if my profile has the admin bar thing checked on
    I do have it checked on
    4: I have the latest wordpress installed and my theme is fully functional. *generatepress is the theme.
    5: I have tried activating another theme like twenteseventeen and it did not help.
    6: I deleted cache to see if that did the trick but it did not.
    7: I checked if the problem was also there when i tried a different browser and sadly yes.

    Thanks for taking the time,
    Sjoerd

    Did you check the plugins? Deactivate all of them if it solves, activate one by one and find which one cause it.

    I’ve had the same problem…
    The admin-bar wasn’t showing up. There are a few thing you should keep in mind:

    * in the index.php use get_header and a get_footer function around the loop.
    * in the footer.php use the following line before you end with </body></html>: <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    * take a look at your code and don’t set the z-index too high.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    the theme has this

    * in the footer.php use the following line before you end with </body></html>: <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    Also checked this and it is there.

    * take a look at your code and don’t set the z-index too high.

    For this one i need some help, where do i check something like this?

    Thanks

    If your header is positioned fixed or absolute. you can add a z-index. z-index defines on what layer/height it will appear. If your header has a z-index of 100 and the admin-bar has a z-index of 50, your header will lay on top of the admin-bar, so it disappears behind your layer.. You can search for z-index in your css-file.
