If you are reading this then no doubt you are currently updating an old theme or coding a new design for WordPress and you are wondering where that WP Admin bar has got to…..
Well if you don’t see the WordPress Admin Bar on the front end then it is likely your theme is missing two functions:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
The CSS for the admin bar is loaded through the wp_head() function and the navigation is pulled through the wp_footer() function.
wp_footer() should be added just before your HTML closing body tag and is used by plugins usually for such things as add Java.
<?php wp_footer(); ?> </body> </html>
wp_header() should be called just before the closing your HTML head code and is used for things like CSS, Meta data and so on. If you use script in your head and have java there, that may need to be written after the wp_header() function is called.
<?php wp_head(); ?> </head>
