admin toolbar not showing

[Milena]

1) i dont know if its related to the wordpress update, but my admin toolbar is gone.
i mean the one from the front end.

i shot down all the plugins except buddypress, and no- it is not connected to that.
just in case i re-uploaded the css files. it is not showing up.

2) when it is hopefully fixed- i want it shown to both logged in and logged out users. i checked in the proper setting at buddypress.

i found this part in the css

/* hide the adminbar by default */
body #wpadminbar {
display: none;
}

/* show the adminbar for logged IN users */
body.logged-in #wpadminbar {
display: block;
}

do i need to change it to show for logged out and logged in users?

thanks

Ok, sorry about that – the first part is fixed.

It was plugin related. I was using WP frontend Uploader and it unchecked some of my settings for wp. I swear I got a new gray hair from that one.

I do want the login/ register button to be visible on the admin toolbar- for the logged OUT users since I am using another navigation bar.

I played with this code – and added show instead of hide, block instead of none and logged out instead of in- is that good?

@milena you can have it however you want your site to function 🙂 Everything should function as designed without them but if you have a plugin overriding then you may need to add additional code as you have discovered. Note you may need to use !important to override.

What plugins typically override the toolbar function?

Do you have a list of plugins that cause common issues?

[Alyssa]

@teamduce the only plugin I’m aware of is WooCommerce

[Brian]

I’m still not getting any toolbar except for administrators.

[Alyssa]

@teamduce try disabling all plugins, then enable them one by one and test after each one.

[Brian]

Yep, that’s the first thing I always do, TJ.

In this case, the roles stick around even after PMPro Roles is disabled, so I’m wondering if the role change is what’s causing the issue and would like to simply reset the users without having to have them re-register or rebuild the site.

[Alyssa]

@teamduce I hate those types of plugins…just like caching plugins their settings stick around even after you disable theme and sometimes even after you delete them! Good luck, let me know if there is anything on the theme side you need me to check.

@tjchester and Brian, I thought I was the only one whose members weren’t getting an admin bar. Only admin does. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Thanks!

Hi,

I just turned off all plugins except buddypress, and switched to another theme just to see what would happen, and I still didn’t get an admin bar for members.

[Maria]

Then I turned off everything except the buddyboss theme, and I still have no admin bar.

[Alyssa]

@interglobalmedia no idea what is wrong, sounds like you tried everything I would have suggested. Perhaps you should post on the BuddyPress forums.

[Maria]

@tjchester I’m not so sure that it’s necessarily a Buddypress issue. In my last attempt, I turned off Buddypress and Buddyboss was on.

Best,

Maria

@interglobalmedia please clarify if you were using the parent theme or child theme. I can assure you the parent theme displays the adminbar for all users, there is no way for BuddyBoss to disable the adminbar without customization. It is called in the footer.php file if I recall correctly.
