[resolved] Moved to home directory, now some functionality is gone from dashboard! (7 posts)

    I moved my site from website.com/blog to website.com following instructions found at http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

    Everything on the public side seems to be fine. I can add new posts, and navigate around the site just fine. However - on my dashboard, the Appearance and Settings drop downs are missing.

    Any clue what I missed?

    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 default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.

    The plugins drop down is also missing.
    So is my template selection dropdown.

    What is there:
    Posts
    Media
    Links
    Pages
    Comments
    Profile
    Tools

    I have no problem doing this outside the dashboard, if someone can help me figure out how.
    I am fairly savvy - just ignorant of WordPress. :-)

    Have you updated the URL fields of your WordPress Database?

    Can you check your current role status - Admin or Editor?

    Actually, no I can't check it. I don't have a users tab, either.

    I've made the changes to the database - all URLs now point correctly.

    just ignorant of WordPress. :-)
