# Missing top bar

 * I’m building a site for an organisation which requires individuals to be able
   to log in. As Administrator, I see the black Admin bar at the top. I’ve just 
   logged in as Author, and the top bar is missing.
 * Previously, all roles were able to see it, and I am relying on it for folk to
   have access to editing their Profile and Public Profile, and also to log out.
   Some people have also been authors, as a simple way of managing events.
 * Why has it gone? And how do I get it back? I have recently upgraded to WP 3.8
   and notice a lot has changed in the presentation of the UI – is that perhaps 
   a factor?

 * If you’re talking about the theme’s top bar, check `Frontier Options -> Display`
   and make sure that “`Enable the top bar`” is checked.
 * If you mean the admin bar then I believe that is set on each person’s profile.
   On `Dashboard -> User -> Your Profile` then check **Show Toolbar when viewing
   site** The admin bar is not actually controlled by the theme.

 * “Enable Top Bar” is checked. That’s not the one I mean (still learning the lingo!),
   it’s the WP Admin one. Thanks for those instructions, I’ve done that for mine.
   I didn’t have to tick it before, so perhaps it’s a WP update change.
 * It’s tricky to get to a Profile without it, so I’d better go through as Admin
   and tick that box for everyone else. At least I know what to do now! Thank you.
