 * Hi all.
 * i have some problems with my admin bar not showing up on pages. 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.
 * Thanks for taking the time,
    Sjoerd

 * Did you check the plugins? Deactivate all of them if it solves, activate one 
   by one and find which one cause it.

 * I’ve had the same problem…
    The admin-bar wasn’t showing up. There are a few 
   thing you should keep in mind:
 * * in the index.php use get_header and a get_footer function around the loop.
   *
   in the footer.php use the following line before you end with </body></html>: 
   <?php wp_footer(); ?> * take a look at your code and don’t set the z-index too
   high.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Best regards,
    Brian

 * If your header is positioned fixed or absolute. you can add a z-index. z-index
   defines on what layer/height it will appear. If your header has a z-index of 
   100 and the admin-bar has a z-index of 50, your header will lay on top of the
   admin-bar, so it disappears behind your layer.. You can search for z-index in
   your css-file.
