my admin bar was randomly gone. I ddn't notice at first but I installed BuddyPress and was thinking maybe it was due to this and their specific admin bar stats for guests etc.

I de-activated BuddyPress (for now) and still no admin bar. Then I did the cliche user profile toggle switch check and sure enough... it was off. Great, quick easy fix and then I'm on my way. Problem with this is - when I toggle it on and save the changes, it refreshes with the thing UNTOGGLED. What is the issue here? The thing literally unchecks itself every refresh and basically wont let me save it to keep the admin bar on. Tripping me out, never had a untoggling toggler toggling tog in my life LOL. Can't find the culprit

Try adding this code to your theme functions.php file:

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
  show_admin_bar( true );
}

If this doesn't work, try logging into your site using a new "Incognito" window and see if the Admin Bar shows up on the front end. If it does, you probably need to clear the cookies for your site. Hope that helps!
