   I'm not sure what files or lines of code I'm missing. I've just created my own wordpress template based on this tutorial here: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/building-custom-wordpress-theme

   Everything worked out great except I'm definitely missing some crucial files.

   1) My visual edit buttons and top admin bar are missing. I know it has something to do with my theme because when I activate the default Twenty Eleven theme they reappear.

   2) My plugins don't work properly in my theme. When I activate Twenty Eleven theme, they do. This is vague I know...I can provide more details if needed.

   I feel like I'm simply missing some files. Hopefully that is the case. Right now my theme consists of the following pages only:
   comments.php
   footer.php
   header.php
   index.php
   page.php
   searchform.php
   sidebar.php
   single.php
   style.css

   Any help would be majorly appreciated.

   Thanks

   Did you insert

   <?php wp_footer(); ?>

   before your '</body>' closing tag in your footer.php file?

   Do you create your theme from scratch or you do some kind of copy/paste from other files?

   Yeah it's pretty much done from scratch, using the tutorial as a guide.

   This is the website: http://nomiabadi.com

   You can see on the Music page I have the Haiku 'minimalist audio player' installed, but it's not functioning properly. Instead of playing the file within the player, it just opens a Quicktime window.

   Ah I was missing <?php wp_footer(); ?> from my index and page templates. That resolved my issue with the missing visual edit buttons. Thank you Dourou for the reply which seems to have disappeared from this posting.

   Now I am still having issues with my plugins. I think I could be missing JavaScript code, not totally sure yet.

   Figured it out...apparently I have to read ;)

   I was missing <?php wp_head(); ?>
