No Edit Bar showing up when I log in

Permalink
My first Concrete5 install... I read in the forums that it could be the javascript interfering but have spent hours testing with no such luck. Any help would be much appreciated!

Header:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if IE 8]>         <html class="no-js lt-ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!-->
<html class="no-js">
<!--<![endif]-->
 <?php 
    Loader::element('header_required'); 
 ?>
<head>

Have you tried closing the html?

I see </body> end tag, but not </html> tag

Try removing this line from your footer:
<script src="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/assets/js/jquery-1.9.js"></script>


Concrete5 adds JQuery automatically, so having two lots of it causes problems.

have removed it, but still no change...

The theme probably has JQuery plugins that require the JQuery v1.9 file, whereas Concrete5 uses v1.7.2 (last time I checked). Try removing a few other scripts from the footer until the edit bar returns and then you may find that script requires a higher version of JQuery than 1.7.2.

Check the forum for advice on how to handle changing the default JQuery version Concrete5 uses.

Could be your short tags..
Where you have this
<?=$this

Try changing them to this
<?php =$this
