# WP admin bar missing on frontend

 * Good Day,
 * I’m using the Ultimate members plugin now for some time, after a recent update
   it appears the WP admin bar no longer appears in the frontend, I have checked
   if the admin user role has the check disabled. I can confirm its definitely the
   UM plugin causing conflict as I’ve changed theme to “Twenty Twenty” as well as
   disabled every single plugin, the only time the Admin bar reappears is when I
   disabled the Ultimate members plugin, please can you assist?
 * thanks

 * Hi [@dphoenix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dphoenix/)
 * How many roles are assigned to your Test Account? If there’s more than one role,
   you must set one of the roles as the Primary Role by adding the Priority Number
   in the UM User Role settings.

 * Thanks for the quick reply, this was an installation I originally took over, 
   theres quite a few roles (28 to be exact) ALl of the UM roles are set as priority
   1, the built in WP role such as Administrator, editor etc have no priority set,
   is this the issue? thanks

 * Hi [@dphoenix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dphoenix/)
 * Please go to WP Admin > Users > search for your current logged-in account or 
   test account > And then check the Role assigned to your account that has the 
   issue with missing Admin bar.

 * Ah ok understand now, I see its got 2 roles “Annual Membership”, “Administrator”.“
   Annual Membership” has no wp-admin access and has priority 1, where as Administrator
   does have wp-admin access and no priority. Is that the issue, two different roles
   with different access?

 * Thanks Champ, I beleive you answered the problem, as there were two roles it 
   was taking the role that never had permissions for the admin toolbar, so I set
   the admin role priority to 90 as per the documentation and I can access the toolbar
   again. thanks for the assistance.
