# admin bar gone?

 * Before I upgraded from 3.0.5 I noticed that the admin bar had disappeared.
 * I’m not overly fond of the thing, but I want to ensure everything’s working as
   it should.
 * The most recent change I made previous to this was to add a small change to child
   functions.php that changes the height of the header.
 * I dont remember for sure but I think that initially after this change, the bar
   was still there and has gone sometime since. I have tried removing the child 
   function code, to no effect.
 * I have one plugin which previously caused no problems, mini meta widget. I have
   tried disabling the plugin to no effect
 * The upgrade to 3.1.1 didnt fix things either.
    Anybody able to explain this??
   Ta, much appreciated.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Hi esmi
    thanks for your reply
 * As I say I have only 1 plugin which was installed long before the bar left and
   I have tried deactivating it to no effect But I will try resetting the plugin
   dir as you suggested
 * Switching themes does not help…

 * Does your current theme have a call to wp_footer in its footer.php template file?

 * Hi esmi
 * Yes it does
 * As I say the only change I can think of between it being and not being there 
   is the changes to the child function file, which change the height of the header
   image….
 * Other wise Ive not done much else structurally code-wise since 3.x was installed…
 * The theme Im using is a custom child theme of the TwentyTenHTML5 theme
    The child
   theme only adds 4 files:
    - front one column page template.php
    - header.php
    - functions.php
    - styles.css
 * Ive tried switching to several different themes with no effect, all of which 
   are high grade themes (thematic, twentytenhtml5, etc) and all call wp-footer….
   
   Is there a place it can be turned on and off in the cp? I may have done this 
   and not remember… 🙂

 * Oh God I am such an idiot!!
