Wordpress admin submenus not appearing - wordpress

When I log into my Wordpress site, I found few problems. The submenus of the admin area do not appear when I am hovering over a menu.
Also the Widgets area is completely messed up. Its very hard to use the widgets.
I tried adding define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true); in my wp-config.php file but it does not help. I've also tried disabling all plugins and going back to the default theme.
Please help me

Base on the issues, it's a jquery conflict or error on the admin area. Please deactivate the plugins one by one and see which causing the issue, you probably has admin styling plugin or something. Thanks
Cheers!

The problem is occur when you use wordpress from Chrome Browser. To resolve the problem, just add the following code in your functions.php located in theme folder.
function admin_menu_fix() {
echo '<style>
#adminmenu { transform: translateZ(0); }
</style>';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'admin_menu_fix');

Dashicons in wordpress (frontend) won't display

I'm creating a website in WordPress. I'm using dashicons for rating (manually) holidays.
It used to work, but after update the dashicons won't be visible for non-logged in users. Only, if you login, you can see the star ratings.
The star rating should be visible on the left top of each holiday deal.
Who knows a solution?
Website url is www.ikwilopvakantie.nl
Dashicons is the official icon font of the WordPress admin as of 3.8..
To load Dashicons for non logged in users:
Open directory {your-website-folder/wp-content/themes/}
Go into the folder of your active child theme ( if you don't have active child theme, open the folder of your active parent theme )
Find there functions.php file and add the provided code at the end of it (
make sure, there isn't ?> php closing tag at the end of file. if so, just remove it ):
function ww_load_dashicons(){
wp_enqueue_style('dashicons');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ww_load_dashicons');
Save changes. Dashicons will loads on your website for all users.
EDIT: there may be some plugin/code, which removed Dashicons from pages. Try to change your code with this one:
function ww_load_dashicons(){
wp_enqueue_style('dashicons');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ww_load_dashicons', 999);
Try this:
<span class="bx-next dashicons dashicons-arrow-right-alt2"></span>
'dashicons-arrow-right-alt2' is the class of the icon.
You can find them here: https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/#arrow-up-alt
This has to go to your functions.php file:
function load_dashicons(){
wp_enqueue_style('dashicons');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_dashicons');
For me the problem was simply that my browser blocker addons weren't allowing the source of dashicons.css
If you're using the plug-in "Asset CleanUp", you can navigate to "BULK CHANGES" and easily use "Remove site-wide rule" at the line, where the url for "dashicon" is listed.
Many of the icons on the official list were appearing blank for me when defined as a value of the menu-item property in the register_post_type function.
If you open wp-includes/css/dashicons.css you will see a complete list of icons available, many of which have different names, for example dashicons-quote is actually dashicons-editor-quote.
Using these values solved the problem for me. I also found this cheat sheet to be helpful if you don't want to go digging through your source files.
Solved for me— For some reason, dashicons was only not rendering when I wasn't accessing the https:// version of the site.

Unable to remove unwanted toggle button on custom plugin details page

I am having an issue with Gift Certificate Creator Plugin. After adding the shortcode [gift_certificate_form] on any post/page, we need to submit the form from the front end.
The details are also displayed in WordPress admin area.So when I checked from Gift certificate > settings. I am getting an unwanted toggle button near to username. I tried adding CSS, to hide but failed. So anyone please help me to find a solution for this.
You CSS doesn't work for admin dashboard if you written those in themes style.css.
You Need to write an add_action to functions.php.
And After I checked. I saw .toggle-row is the unwanted toggle button near to username Gift Certificate Creator. So Use Below Code in themes functions.php.
<?php
add_action('admin_head', 'my_css');
function my_css() {
echo '<style>
.toggle-row {
display: none;
}
</style>';
}
?>

Enable WP-postratings

I've created my own wordpress theme and installed WP-Postratings plugin, but it doesn't work. I add only
<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
It show rating image, but i can't rate anything.
Should I add something to the functions, maybe the reason is ajax, should I add some function?
I'm using the same plugin on my theme
Rating Buttons
if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); }
Rating Avarage
if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { echo ''.expand_ratings_template('<span class="rating-images">%RATINGS_IMAGES%</span>', get_the_ID()); }
If it doesnt work you may have any javascript conflict , try to disable all plugins and try it again.You must be sure that admin-ajax.php is not blocked by server or anything else.
You should add something to the functions. That code is enough.
It usually happened because the plugin is crashed with another plugin. Disable another plugins one by one until you can rate. Then change the plugin that make the issue with the similar one.

Wordpress Admin Bar Not Showing on frontend of site

Please could anyone help me with this problem? The wordpress admin bar is not displaying on the front-end (public visible pages) of my website. It shows when I'm logged in at the backend i.e Dashboard though. User settings are ok (set to show admin bar when viewing the site). I have tried deactivating (then, re-activating ) installed plugins, still no show.
Just a background note:
I recently transferred the site to my webhost (I was developing locally and everything worked and is still working). And I have a custom folder for wordpress. I was wondering if the problem has to do with this.
Please help I have searched everywhere but seems everyone is looking to hide the admin panel instead.
Thanks in advance
Check that your theme includes a call to the function wp_footer() at some point, usually at the very bottom of footer.php. That generates the code required for the admin bar to show.
add this to the end of your footer.php in your theme folder:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
problem solved :-)
Most of the time the wp_footer() call is right where it should be so if you still can't see the admin bar then try the following:
log out of the backend
navigate to the front-end
clear your browser cache
log back in using the absolute url i.e. yourwebsite.co.uk/wp-admin
and then see if it comes up - worked for me.
Also make sure the "Show Toolbar when viewing site" box is checked in your user profile page or whatever you try ain't gonna work my friend!.
I know this is an old question, but another option - If you purchased (use) a pre-made theme make sure that theme does not remove the toolbar in its code.
Does it 'know' that you are logged in ? when in front end ? ie: meta widget shows 'logout' instead of login. if not Did you by any chance play around with the cookie paths?
I got myself confused because I was logged in at backend, but not front end. This was because I'd being playing with the cookie path and forgot to uncomment what I'd done.
First, double checked all of the other items mentioned here (wp_footer(), etc).
Three more things to check:
make sure header.php has <body <?php body_class(); ?>> not just <body>
try disabling plugins one by one if you're still having trouble. (For me, the Simplest Gallery 2.7 with WP 3.7.1 caused a conflict that made the admin bar disappear)
look for function remove_admin_bar() { return false; } in the theme's functions.php - change it to return true.
Just add in your template
<?php wp_footer(); ?> before </body> and <?php wp_head(); ?> before </head>
For me the issue was that I was using http://mydomain.com/wp in the WordPress address but http://www.mydomain.com for the site address. We had added the www to the WordPress address so that GoogleAnalytics would work and that's when the Admin Bar broke.
Adding www to the WordPress address fixed the issue.
To clarify after a lot of searching for a solution, similar to MattKnowles solution but more specific: Make sure that in settings > WordPress Address (URL) and settings > Site address (URL) that if one has www then the other also does and the other way round. Otherwise it seems while you are browsing the site it is a different domain to the admin area and the admin bar does not show.
Make sure site addresses are the same! I had one set at http://www.example.com and the other (WordPress) address set to http://example.com or visa versa.
I had them set this way because I though it was needed for the site to show up when you type the url without the www.
Now that both addresses are the same (with the www) my admin bar works, I stay logged in, I can comment, see preview or draft content, cross-site authenticate and logout, wow!
an entire year of wondering why WP just never worked right across over 30 websites!
Going to change addresses to the same "www" address in the rest of my 30 sites now and enjoy error-free WordPress for the first time ever...it's a great day!
Remember to remove any admin bar code you may have added in your theme's function.php file or in your styles.CSS
Thanks to all who help us here!
wp_footer() ,
add this function to footer.php
My #wpadminbar had a z-index: 99999;
In an act of myopia I made a sticky header that was in conflict with the Admin bar's stickiness. I had a z-index greater than the admin, making it rest behind the visible div.
I made my own sticky less powerful.
Here's a solution that I found.
Need to have <? wp_head()?> and <? wp_footer(); ?>.
More info: http://blog.frontendfactory.com/how-to-add-wordpress-toolbar-to-your-custom-theme/
Still working on this, but there is a conflict with Woocommerce. if deactivated, toolbar is there. Active, no toolbar.
More info here.
I had a sitiation when the admin dashboard was opened in one Chrome tab, but I could not make front-end part opened in the other tab to enter the admin state and show the admin bar.
The front-end always opened as if I had not logged in as an admin in the other tab.
The issue was that I had the site opened in yet another Chrome window (not tab) as not-logged-in visitor.
As soon as I closed all the tabs and all the sessions and reopened the single Chrome window with two tabs (admin / front end) the admin bar appeared in the front end.
Beware of unclosed HTML tags above <?php wp_footer(); ?>. Unclosed tags in the source will have closing tags generated by the browser and can suck in the WordPress admin bar HTML.
...
<div class="hidden-by-css">
<span> You can't see this</span>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
That will cause the HTML generated for the admin bar to get sucked into the .hidden-by-css DIV and your admin bar won't show up.
So make sure you close all your tags. :)
I wanna leave my solution since I tried literally every possible solution on the internet. The website has LiteSpeed and is behind a reverse proxy from Deflect.ca similar to cloudflare, it blocks and caches as well.
The problem is the default cache from Deflect is set on 10 minutes and that caused the problem. Setting it with lower settings and removing all admin caching from LiteCache solved everything.

why is the <?php wp_head ?> tag creating a top margin at the top of my theme header

Hey people, I've been coming here for a while but just decided to join.
I'm new to php and I'm trying to make a website with WordPress as the CMS.
Anyway, I'm basically making my own theme because I don't want my website to look like a blog, and it's going pretty smoothly so far but theres this huge top margin gap in the browser even when I set margins to 0px.
I tried trial and error and found out that it's being caused by: <?php wp_head(); ?>
It's two different things.
1. wp_head() function
wp_head() is a template tag to print whatever plugin / theme specific function used by wordpress action. Read codex for more detail about it.
2. The admin bar
The top margin, is generated by wordpress's admin bar.
To fix this for logged in users you can do a couple of things:
Disable admin bar from the admin:
Go to admin panel
Users >> User Profile
Uncheck 'when viewing
site' on 'Show Admin Bar'
Remove the admin bar from your theme entirely:
Open your functions.php
Add this to it:
function my_function_admin_bar(){ return false; }
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar' , 'my_function_admin_bar');
Remove only the code which creates the css:
Open your functions.php
Add this to it:
function my_filter_head() { remove_action('wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb'); }
add_action('get_header', 'my_filter_head');
Note: Extensive updates are from #hitautodestruct
you neeed to call wp_footer() in your footer
just insert this line <?php wp_footer();?> into your footer.php file
If you have updated your wordpress install to the latest version.. there seems to be some bug with the admin bar...
were it would produce an inline stylesheet appended to the top of your pages.. causing the margin-top:28px
see here
1 recomendation is to put a new function into your functions.php file located in your theme folder.. this will completly remove the bar, so no users of your theme will have any of the same issues!
function my_function_admin_bar(){
return false;
}
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar' , 'my_function_admin_bar');
Not sure if this will help.. but worth a shot.. also turning off the admin bar while viewing the front end of the site under your profile page..
