Missing action bar

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m trying to figure out why this wordpress.com site (with a custom domain) doesn’t have an action bar.

    The site has more than two posts, I can see the action bar on other wordpress.com sites, and the footer in the theme calls the wp_footer() function, which can apparently disable the action bar if absent.

    I tried clearing both the browser and server-side cache from the host in case the theme wasn’t updating, but no luck.

    According to what I was able to find elsewhere, there isn’t even supposed to be an option to disable this, except by custom css. I checked the theme for that css and couldn’t find it.

  • Hi there,

    It looks like you’re in the wrong forum. Your site is using the open-source WordPress software and you need to seek help at these forums:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read this document:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    I see. Is there any way to distinguish on wordpress.com between sites that are hosted by wordpress.com and those that aren’t?

    If I log into wordpress.com, I see this site in the “My Sites” page, the login works for this forum, and the forum even automatically detects this site when asking which site I need help with.

  • Yep. When you do a whois search on the URL a WordPress.com site will have WordPress.com name servers. If the name servers say domain control, for example, that’s a GoDaddy hosted site.
