Django Debug Toolbar doesn't appear

Question

I think I have tried almost every solution on the web but the django debug toolbar still doesn't appear on my website. Difficult thing is that it doesn't give any error, or any sign from where I can find the issue.

I have tried automatic as well as manual installation. Following most common things tried:

added my ip to internal ips, even added SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK = lambda x: True
Ran the collectstatic command
checked for any html tags not closing in my pages
Confirmed that debug=True in settings.py

5) removed .pyc files

And so on..

EDIT TO INCLUDE SETTINGS

Settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    # Uncomment the next line for simple clickjacking protection:
    # 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
    'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
)

DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PATCH_SETTINGS = False
SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK = lambda x: True
INTERNAL_IPS = ('bla','bla',)

myproject/myproject/urls.py:

if settings.DEBUG:
    import debug_toolbar
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        url(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
    )

Try moving `'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',` to the top of the list. Also, you haven't shown whether or not you have added `'debug_toolbar',` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`... — rnevius, Feb 21 '15 at 11:53
Debug is set to True, i have tried moving middleware to the top of the list and it didnt have an effect, and yes debug_toolbar is added to installed_apps.. — Shark, Feb 21 '15 at 11:57
Try to throw some exception for your app and check if all of your settings are correct on debug page. — GwynBleidD, Feb 21 '15 at 14:44

Sometimes it could be occurred when your template does not have `` tag. — Chemical Programmer, Nov 21 '15 at 07:29

According to the docs of SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK, it's value is not expected to be a function object:

This is the dotted path to a function used for determining whether the toolbar should show or not.

I.e. try using a normal named function, and reference it with a string in your settings.

Example, in your_project/config.py

def show_always(request):
    return True

And then in settings:

SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK = 'your_project.config.show_always'

(Also, automatic setup did not work for me on one of two systems either, inexplicably; I had to use explicit setup, but you're doing that already.)
