Admin Bar is Missing¶
The Admin Bar at the top of the page should display on the frontend for logged in users.
Immediately after logging in, if the admin bar does not display until you manually refresh the page, this could be due to the Instant Click setting.
Here's why: When you enable Instant Click via LiteSpeed Cache > Cache > Advanced, some themes (e.g., dService, Blocksy, and more) will prefetch the home page content before logging you in. As a result, the prefetched version from browser cache does not include the admin bar.
To verify that this is what is happening, turn on the browser developer tools, check the HTTP response header for the login page request. Make sure the Disable Cache option in the tool is not selected. The HTTP response header should show the status code 200 with (from Prefetch Cache) appended. If you see this, it confirms that Instant Click is the problem.
Solution: Turn off Instant Click when using an incompatible theme.
```
But the solution for me was not Instant Click which was off but rather ESI > Cache Admin Bar
Perhaps someone can update the documentation to include this check for other users.
