Reasons Why Your Toolbar May Not be Showing

- Posted In Instructions on 12.8.2011 -

Occasionally we get emails from users of the plugin telling us that the toolbar will not show up on their wordpress site. There can be a few reasons for this happening:

1. Most common reason is that your theme does not have proper wordpress code inserted, so make sure your theme has:

<?php wp_footer() ?>

just before the closing body tag, usually this would be done in the “footer.php”.

Also, make sure your theme has:

<?php wp_head() ?>

inside the head tags, usually this would be done in the “header.php”.

Both of these functions are needed for most plugins to work because like ours, many plugins add javascript and html codes using these two functions.

2. Make sure you installed it properly and all of it’s settings. You may want to try deleting the plugin and reinstalling it.

3. Complications with other plugins installed. We suggest temporary deactivating other plugins to see if your Toolbar appears.

Other issues can simply be that your themes code is interfering somehow to allowing the toolbar to display and sometimes not to work properly.

    It seems so, I have tried on different WP installations and that seems to be OK.

    Do you have any idea what might cause a conflict like this one? I disabled all plugins but that didn’t help. I’ve also looked in the source, css and php of the site and plugin, but can’t find anything odd.

    Thanks,
    David

    The toolbar shows up OK, but I have trouble activating the Twitter feed. Any idea how to fix that?

    Thank you,
