# Admin edit bar gone

 * Installing the plugin doesn’t do any damage. But as soon as I upload a custom
   avatar on the profile page and apply it, the admin edit bar that should be above
   all pages when logged in disappears. It is still there on the back end in wp-
   admin but gone on the front end. Deactivating the plugin doesn’t bring back the
   bar either. Can you help me get it back without having to restore from backup
   and losing all my most recent work on the site that isn’t backed up?

 * Hi Theovillage,
 * The toolbar can be turned on/off from the [Administration](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels)
   > [Users](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Your_Profile) > [Your Profile](http://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Your_Profile_SubPanel).
   Please check that you haven’t disabled the _Show Toolbar when viewing site_ option.
 * Best regards,
    Cătălin

 * Hi Cătălin,
 * Thanks for getting back quickly. On the Your Profile Page I have the following
   sections based on my plugins:
 * Name
    Contact Info About Yourself Appointments+ Avatar Connect your account to
   one or more social networks
 * Thant is it. There is absolutely no option for turning the toolbar on or off.
   Perhaps this is due to the theme I’m using which is WP-Brilliance from Solostream.
 * It was the mere act of uploading a photo and then clicking update that took out
   the toolbar. It was there before the new photo was uploaded and applied and gone
   as soon as the change was made.
 * I have no control over it because my theme is not displaying an option to turn
   it off and on. Is there any other way to access this option to turn it back on?
 * Thanks,
    Ian

 * I researched some more and apparently the check box to turn the tool bar on and
   off was removed in version 3.3.

 * No, the toolbar can be turned on/off, but it’s no longer possible to hide it 
   when viewing the administration screens.
 * If you have access to the database please take a look at the `show_admin_bar_front`
   value from the `wp_usermeta` table matching your `user_id`.

 * This issue should be addressed to the theme/plugin that hides the _Personal Options_
   section from the [Users Your Profile Screen](http://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Your_Profile_Screen).
 * The value of `show_admin_bar_front` is set to `false` in [WordPress core](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.2/wp-admin/includes/user.php#L96)
   if `admin_bar_front` is not set when updating a user profile.
