# Admin Bar Vanishing

 * So, I recently popped open Buddypress and loaded her up. No problems, except 
   for a weird issue where the default page theme php was loading all the unaffiliated
   page links on the nav menu in the member profile pages. Replace that with a Buddypress.
   php file and a few changes and it’s working.
 * Buuut. Now the admin bar has vanished. Like, gone, there’s a 32 pixel blank space
   at the top of the page.
 * I can’t exactly test plugin compatibility by loading and unloading on the live
   site without causing trouble for clients.
 * I’m still a noob with php, just picked it up six months ago, and mostly because
   no-one else could.
 * Is there a way to force the admin bar to load?

 * This is the buddypress page file, everything else is buddypress core:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header();?>
   
       <!-- Secondary Nav -->
       <!-- Show Secondary Menu if the page is a child or has children -->
       <?php global $post; $children = get_pages( array( 'child_of' => $post->ID ) );
   
       	if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent  || count( $children ) < 1 ) : ?>
   
       		<div class="row subnav">
       			<div class="container">
       				<div class="columns large-12">
       					<ul>
       					    <?php wp_list_pages( array('title_li'=>'','depth'=>1,'child_of'=>get_post_top_ancestor_id()) ); ?>
       					</ul>
       				</div>
       			</div>
       		</div>
   
       	<?php else : ?>
   
       	<?php endif; ?>
   
       <!-- Main Content Area -->
       <div class="row content fullwidth">
   
       	<!-- Main Content Column -->
       	<div class="main columns large-12">
   
       		<!-- Inner Header -->
       		<div class="row innerHeader">
       			<div class="container">
       				<div class="columns large-12">
       					<h1 class="pageTitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       				</div>
       			</div>
       		</div>
   
       			<div class="pageContent">
             			  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       				<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       					<?php the_content();?>
       				<?php endwhile; ?>
       			<?php endif; ?>
       			</div>
   
       </div>
   
       <?php get_footer();?>
       <?php get_wpfooter();?>
       ```

 * I recently took over the site, so still learning. It’s a custom site with lots
   of bits and pieces. The admin bar was there in the initial install, until I changed
   the default profile page.
 * Plugins:
    Advanced Custom Fields + Repeater Field plugin BackupBuddy (Lot’s of
   trouble getting this to complete) Categories Images Category Order & Taxonomy
   Terms Order Custom Post Type UI Directory IFrame Shortcode iThemes Sync Login
   With Ajax Ninja Forms Search Everything TinyMCE Advanced Widget Entries Wordfence
   Security WP Page Numbers WP Smush WP Super Cache WP-Members Yoast SEO
