Help! I don’t see the toolbar!
If you don’t see the admin toolbar at all, you may have it disabled in your main WordPress settings. To enable it, perform the following:
- Access your user profile within the WordPress admin dashboard. To do so, hover over Users on the left side admin menu, and click on My Profile.
- Within this page, you should see an option labeled Toolbar. Ensure the checkbox is enabled. If not, enable it and save your changes.
If you still don’t see the toolbar, you may have a theme or plugin that is interfering with it. Try enabling a default theme such as Twenty Fifteen and disabling other plugins.
