“Edit with Elementor” missing from top Admin Bar when Types plugin is active

Symptoms

The issue happens because WordPress has two ways of including the admin bar on the front-end:

• Hooking into wp_body_open if it’s called in the theme template file (the default way since WordPress 5.4)
• Hooking into wp_footer otherwise (the legacy way)

Toolset Types needs the legacy way because it needs to analyze the whole rendered content before showing its link in the Admin Bar.

As a consequence, Types features code to disable the new way (in wp_body_open) in favor of the legacy way (in wp_footer).

Elementor on the other hand only supports the new way (via wp_body_open).

We believe that Elementor should also support the legacy way because a lot of themes are not using the wp_body_open tag. If a theme does not use this tag, the “Edit with Elementor” link will not show either (even without Toolset Types).

Workaround

Add the following code snippet to your site inside your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'init', function() {
	add_action( 'wp_body_open', 'wp_admin_bar_render', 0 );
});

Please note that this snippet will restore the “Edit with Elementor” link, but will also re-introduce the issue for the “Design with Toolset” link.
