can't edit webpages after upgrading to 5.5.1

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I had a good look through the forum and saw that this has been a common problem - after upgrading I can't edit any pages, the edit tool bar has gone. I didn't create my websitehttp://www.hikekorea.com but use to be able to manage it fairly easily until this upgrade. Can anyone offer me some advice? I'm not to computer savvy.

You're using a custom theme that does not have the following code - insert this into the footer (immediately before the closing </body> tag) of your theme files.
<?php Loader::element('footer_required'); ?>

Thank you so much, I passed that quick fix info onto the web creator, and that sorted it out, and I would've never known that.
Thank you again.

Thanks @glockops. This really helped me out when I upgraded as my web developer has gone MIA.

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I had that moment after upgrading where I thought "Well that went surprisingly well" then I realised the edit bar was gone and I spent 3 hours trying to fix it. Who would have thought it would be that simple.

I'm having this same problem and just checked my footer.php file. It already has that exact coding you suggested to insert. I'm using the Clearview theme.

Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

I placed it at the bottom of the default.php file which made it work. This may help you.
