 * Hi,
 * After activating Autoptimize my wordpress admin bar is gone when I go to Home
   >Visit Site.
 * I have tried on Safari, Chrome and Firefox and the admin bar is missing ONLY 
   when the plugin is activated.
 * Help!

 * try disabling JS or CSS (most likely) to see which one causes this glitch. once
   you’ve isolated that, look for the correct JS or CSS-file to exclude from optimization(
   there’s more troubleshooting tips in [the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/faq/)).
 * oh, by default `admin-bar.min.css, dashicons.min.css` are excluded from CSS-optimization,
   did you leave those as is or did you remove them?
 * hope this helps,
    frank

 * Thanks for getting back to me.
    I left the default exclusions on. The only option
   I have enabled is “Optimize CSS” it has also done something strange under the
   footer.

 * happy holidays Sue!
 * that “something strange under the footer” seems to be your unstyled admin menu
   🙂
 * you’ll have to have a look in the HTML source of an un-optimized page to see 
   which CSS is responsible for your admin bar style and try to exclude that (normally
   it’s `admin-bar.min.css` but maybe it’s different in your case).
