 * on the latest wordpress i clicked on “hide site wide” on the admin bar while 
   i was logged in as admin.. i cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to unhide
   it. Can anyone help? why would wordpress add a link making it so easy to hide
   this darned thing and not unhide it?

    1. In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Users > Your Profile.
    2. Then, check “Show Toolbar When Viewing Site”.

 * Hi. Thanks for the quick response but that option seems to be missing. I see 
   two tickers in my profile 1. Disable the visual editor when writing and 2. Enable
   keyboard shortcuts for comment moderation.

 * never mind. i cleared cache/cookies then exited my browser. once i logged back
   in the option was there. it’s likely a bug.. thanks for pointing me in the right
   direction..

 * There is no “hide sitewide” option in WordPress. Were you perhaps using a plugin
   for this?

 * in 3.8 there’s a new feature to hide site wide when logged in as admin and viewing
   the live site..

 * Not in a single install.

 * well it’s there and I have it on single install. I re-ticked the option to “Show
   Toolbar When Viewing Site” as suggested by Dynamic Design Firm and the option
   re-appears to “Hide Site Wide” when viewing the live site while logged in as 
   admin.. It shows up under the Admin Bar menu

 * wow, i feel dumb. it was a plugin. apparently WP Custom Admin Bar includes this
   option but i didn’t read the fine print.. The solution was also to clear cookies
   as I did. Funny coincidence. Thanks..
