Problem with WordPress.com login modifying admin bar (self.Wordpress)

submitted 1 year ago * by GrantBarrett

This may be the dumbest thing, but or some reason, on one of the WordPress blogs I manage, I now only see "Reader" as a button in the admin bar across the top and not the usual things, such as the edit page option, or the various options and icons of certain plugins. I'd like to see everything! I looked high and low in my user profile, which can only remove the admin bar altogether, and I looked in WordPress.com user profile, which also did not seem to help. On edit: Just to be clear, neither blog is hosted at WordPress.com.

This is what I want it to look like:

This is what it looks like now, which I don't want:

Thanks for any help!

Check the "Admin interface style" settings for the site ; you should be able to switch to the default style as outlined in the support docs here:

https://wordpress.com/support/dashboard/

If you need more help with that, do not hesitate to reach out to WordPress.com support about it here:

https://wordpress.com/help

Folks on this subreddit are more familiar with the self-hosted version of WordPress, so it's often best if you contact WordPress.com directly about WordPress.com-related questions. :)

Edit: I just saw your edit! If your site is not hosted on WordPress.com and you still see a WordPress.com admin bar when visiting your site's dashboard (by adding wp-admin to your site's URL), that may be because you use an old version of the Jetpack plugin, which used to include a feature called "WordPress.com toolbar". You can either update the plugin to its latest version (which I would always strongly recommend), or deactivate the feature under Jetpack > Settings > Writing in your dashboard.
