# Admin Toolbar Broken

 * Hello Everyone,
 * I created a custom theme and the admin toolbar that is normally at the top of
   the page is missing. I like that toolbar and I want it back.
 * Basically there is just a big missing space where the toolbar normally is.
 * I don’t even know where to begin to find what part of my code breaks that toolbar.
 * Does anyone have any suggestions on how to track that error down?
 * Thanks!

 * If you change back to the default theme, Twenty Eleven, does the admin bar return?
 * If so, you are doing something wrong in your custom theme.
 * If not, turn off all plugins and see if the admin bar re-appears. If it does,
   turn on plugins one at a time until you find the culprit.

 * Ya it is definitely something wrong with my theme. The admin bar works with Twenty
   Eleven.
 * How do I proceed from here to fix this issue?

 * Does your theme have a wp_footer() call in it?

 * No it did not. And adding wp_footer() fixed it! Thanks Ipstenu
