Hi Chris
There are some suggestions here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/toolbar-not-showing-on-the-site - including clearing your cookies. So try to clear cookies and do it again.
Try disabling your plugins one by one and see if it shows back up.
Some more ideas here - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-toolbar
It could be any number of things, so it might take a little trial and error.

Dan,
Thanks man.
"Show Toolbar when viewing site" was checked off. I clicked it off tried it still didn't show up. I clicked it on and still nothing changed. Any idea?
I can see it on the admin panel but when I click on Visit Site from dashboard or manually visit my site it I don't see the toolbar.

Hi Chris
No problem! Go to Users > You Profile > Toolbar and check off the box "Show Toolbar When Viewing Site"

Hey Devanur and Dan,
Thank you so much for responds. I appreciate your advice on title length and etc. I am new to SEO but curious and persistent.
Dan, It's WordPress. I am using Yoast SEO plugin.
I figured it out what was causing it. It was the site title. on Setting > General > Site Title. When I removed it I don't have the duplication problem any more.
Now I got one more Q: I am working on two WordPress sites. on one of them after I log in WordPress I can see the black drop down bar on my actual site too. It has SEO, Security and Text Rich Snippets. It's awesome and very helpful. how can I turn it on my second site?
Thanks y'all
Chris

Is this a WordPress site? If so, are you using an SEO plugins? Sometimes the code in the header.php file still causes WordPress to spit out more than one title tag. Let us know what setup you have.

Thanks Devanur
Just wanted to clarify that the new recommended length for titles is roughly 55 characters, or more accurately 512 pixels. Screaming Frog SEO Spider will now measure pixel width.

Hi Chris,
Even before addressing the duplicate page Title issue, these titles seem to be very long and stuffed with phrases and look spammy.
As you know, page Titles are one of the most important on-page optimization factors that can accommodate the target terms as they show up in search results. Its better if it is around 55-60 characters in size including spaces with the target term towards the beginning. If the title has to go beyond 55-60 characters, then the essence should be captured in the first 55-60 characters including spaces as Google truncates anything beyond around 55-60 characters and the search engine user cannot see beyond those ~60 characters in the search results.
Though Google seems to truncate titles in search results based on pixel width(512pixels) and not character limit, in general the 55-50 character limit is a safe bet while writing optimized page titles for your pages.Coming to the duplicate page Titles issue on your Wordpress website, you can use plugins like Yoast SEO or All-in-one SEO to customize the titles. Here is the deal, no two pages on the website should have same Titles or Descriptions. They should be unique by at least a word or few characters. You can have a look at your Google Webmaster Tools account for duplicate page Titles and Descriptions and act accordingly. And of course, Screamingfrog SEO spider is a superb tool for the purpose. Hope these help.
Best regards,
Devanur Rafi

Canonical tags
Hi there, I have just noticed that SEOmoz picked up some duplicates links that I would like to resolve but not sure how. For example, the "Finding work in the arts" article has two links: http://www.creative-choices.co.uk/develop-your-career/article/finding-work-in-the-arts http://www.creative-choices.co.uk/develop-your-career/article/finding-work-in-the-arts?utm_source=Website&utm_medium=Website&utm_content=Finding+work+in+the+arts&utm_campaign=Footer+Links Both links can be found on this page http://www.creative-choices.co.uk/industry-news-views/article/what-employers-are-looking-for (see attachment). Would automatically generated canonical tags by the CMS solve this issue? rmxiP
