Admin left column disappeared after 3.2.1 update (7 posts)

    I manually updated the WP version of my site Pharmabiz.net into the 3.2.1 version.

    The installation and database update were successful and the site seems to be running, but the at the administrative dashboard the left column disappeared (the one with appearance, plugins, options, etc.). The rest of the dashboard appears at the bottom right of the page.

    Can anyone tell me how to solve this or which file should I edit (or reload) in order to get the dashboard looking OK again?

    Thank you very much
    Paula

    Try:
    - switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes and adding "-old" to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    - re-uploading all files & folders - except the wp-content folder - from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Hello Esmi
    Thank you very much but I did all of these steps today in order to upload the 3.2.1 vesion of WP.

    Except this step: renaming your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes and adding "-old".

    Should it be "wp-content/themes-old"? Then how will the system work once it is reinstaled if it cannot locate the themes folder?

    Rename your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes.
