No Wordpress admin bar

Katze · November 10, 2016

I created a Wordpress site for my work, I used Wordpress so them employees can easily create and edit pages.

Anyway, work hired an IT guy to work the days I couldn't. Long story shot he has edited something in the php files that has broken the admin bar when you view the site.

Also he no longer works here and wont respond to my emails.

Any idea what he could of changed? I am still learning html, css, php etc.

Also do I need to do anything special to run a Wordpress site on a local machine?

Check this link for the missing admin bar issue, perhaps the solution is there. FTP download all the files to your local drive, use a text editor or some web development software (e.g. Dreamweaver) to inspect files for missing code.

Also, check User accounts' profiles and roles, I think you can disable admin bars there.

As for running a wordpress site locally on your machine, if you're using Windows as the OS, install something like WAMP to create a localhost server, then install Wordpress.
