Support » Fixing WordPress » Dashbaord menu GONE!

  • I updated from 3.2 to 3.2.1 and now the left side dashboard menu is GONE. I can access things from the admin toolbar… but where the heck is the leftside menu.

    I have php 5.2.17

    And everything looked fine in 3.2

    I have upgraded 10 other WP sites to 3.2.1 and they all work & look fine all on the same hosting account & server.

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Here’s what it looks like…

    See it here

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Ok… first I cannot get to my Installed Plugins menu because the side menu bar is gone and it is NOT listed on the Upper Admin bar. So I cannot deactivate any plugins.

    I have tried switching to the 2011 theme with no difference… although switching themes makes no sense since it is not the theme that is broken, but the wordpress dashboard / admin area.

    I have uploaded a fresh WP-Admin & WP-includes folders through FTP… no change.

    I cannot deactivate any plugins.

    The reset the plugins folder using FTP.

    switching themes makes no sense

    Any theme can impact the WP admin area.

    YAY… success! I found a way into my plugins dashboard by going to UPDATES from the top admin bar… then I updated a plugin and at the end of it, it gives you the option to go to the Plugins list.

    Then I deactivated all plugins. Reactivated one by one and found the one that caused the issue:

    So thank you for helping me be more diligent and offering other areas to research!

    You’re welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted in the end. 🙂
