    Users used to have a userbar floating around the site and be able to edit their profile information, but they no longer do and when I try to access it via the url (/wp-admin/profile.php) it says they can’t access it.

    How do I enable them to access it?

    Have you installed any profile editor plugin or slimier(i.e woocommerce)?
    Can you please share error screen shot?

    Hi Firoz, thanks for your help :).

    I do have Woocommerce installed, and Oneall Social Login http://www.colormeforum.com is the website :). It just says sorry you don’t have permission to access. It lets me (admin) in but it won’t let subscribers or customers in.

    If you have woocommerce installed then you can allow user to edit profile on fronend. You have to use following short code.

    [woocommerce_my_account]

    Hi Firoz! Thanks for getting back to me!

    Will that allow them to edit everything they could otherwise? If that’s just the regular “my account” page it’s not what I want at all.

    I miss the user bar, it tells them they’re logged in and that’s important….is there a way to get that back?

    Hello Alundra,

    Will that allow them to edit everything they could otherwise? If that’s just the regular “my account” page it’s not what I want at all.

    It will allow to edit name, email id, password and addressed. What else you want to edit?

    I miss the user bar, it tells them they’re logged in and that’s important….is there a way to get that back?

    Please refer following article to restore Admin bar

    I want them to be able to change how their name displays, their avatar, things like that. Everything I see when I change my user stuff by clicking on the profile (wp-admin/profile.php).

    My theme has that correct code where it’s needed, that’s not the issue :(.
