 * Hi all. I have searched the forums and haven’t found an answer yet that has worked.
 * i have some problems with my admin bar not showing up on pages. It was there 
   yesterday and I was happily navigating between front and back end. I now always
   have to type /wp-admin/ behind my homepage to enter this area. I have looked 
   around on the internet and tried the following:
 * 1: Check if my theme has wp_head();
    It does 2: Check if my theme has wp_footer();
   It does 3: Check if my profile has the admin bar thing checked on I do have it
   checked on 4: I have the latest wordpress installed and my theme is fully functional.*
   generatepress is the theme. 5: I have tried activating another theme like twenteseventeen
   and it did not help. 6: I deleted cache to see if that did the trick but it did
   not. 7: I checked if the problem was also there when i tried a different browser
   and sadly yes. 8: I have also disabled all of the plugins (no change) and then
   activate one by one. Thanks for taking the time, Korin

 * I experienced the missing Admin Bar due to the following.
 * **Scenario to cause the issue**
    1. Browse your site without being logged on.
   Web pages are cached for five minutes to improve performance. 2. Then, login 
   to your web site and start browsing Web pages are not cached. If a previously
   cached page that is not expired is present, then it will use the cached version.
   No Admin Bar will display.
 * **Solution**
    If you logon and go to a page where you do not see the Admin Bar
   at the top of the page, hold CTRL and press F5 to refresh the page.

 * My Missing Admin bar was just a cache issue!
 * In my case I have recently added caching to my .htaccess file.
 * Not seen this issue before – your reply has certainly saved me some serious time
