It certainly can be a theme related 'problem'. To prevent unexpected problems in a theme, I frequently disable the admin bar while working on it. Look in functions.php (or similar) for code that looks like this and remove it:

function my_function_admin_bar() {
    return false;
}

add_filter('show_admin_bar', 'my_function_admin_bar');

    add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false'); is enough. WP have a default function to return the boolean.

  • @bueltge You are right, that is enough. The reason I posted this code, was because of this topic: inkthemes.com/community/threads/where-is-my-admin-bar.7109

On your theme function.php or on similar file look for 

show_admin_bar( false );

or 

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

If you find one then remove it.

And I found also that in your Profile (wp-admin/profile.php), you have a checkbox labelled (in french):

Afficher la barre d’outils lorsque vous visitez le site

which means literally:

Show admin bar when visiting the website

(Sorry I don't have an english intall just now so the sentence in English must be a bit different, but you get the idea ;-))

I wasted quite a few hours on this and there is another reason that does not seem to be noted anywhere.

You need to make sure that in settings > WordPress Address (URL) and settings > Site address (URL) that if one has www then the other also does and the other way round. Otherwsie it seems while you are browsing the site it is a different domain to the admin area and the admin bar does not show.

Check that your theme includes a call to the function wp_footer() at some point, usually at the very bottom of footer.php. That generates the code required for the admin bar to show.
