The Amazing Disappearing Toolbar!

Permalink
I would specify an individual install and give more information, if I had it. However, this is a problem that rears its ugly head with a great deal of frequency, regardless of the install the site is on.

Logged in, and the toolbar is GONE! (A.K.A. missing, kaput, zilch, zero, gonzo, etc.) I have no clue why this happens, but worse, I don't know how to troubleshoot and fix the issue!

The CURRENT problem is a site that was upgraded from 5.4.x to 5.5.x which permanently disabled the toolbar and, thus, can no longer "Edit" a page or otherwise utilize the toolbar on any page of the site.

There are no particular add-ons that should be conflicting, either.

What I need is a means to test this, determine where a problem exists, and ways to troubleshoot and resolve it! I just don't know where to begin. Can anyone elucidate me on this? This happens FAR too frequently for me NOT to have a method to go to when it happens to me (and I surely cannot be alone in this!)

Thanks for your help,
Darren

I presume you've added:
<?php Loader::element('footer_required'); ?>

To all the page types?

i just found the cause, after hours and hours of frustrated searching...

I had added a bit of jQuery code in the footer (and yes, neatly above the "required footer" php line)

$.noConflict();
           jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
              [your code]
         });


If you have added something similar:
remove the $.noConflict(); line in your jQuery code and the contents of the C5 toolbar are back.
