In chrome, if you right click, inspect element and then click console tab does it show any error? They normally show up as red links which you can then expand.
Nope, no errors.
I do get these warnings, but not related to my problem

When looking at JS in Menus admin page I compared the bad site and a good one running same 4.0.1 version of WP
The one that does not fail is missing “plupload,json2” on the load-scripts.php? line in the header.
It is possible some files were improperly updated. Stuff like that happens.
Did you try reinstalling wordpress, through /wp-admin/update-core.php ?
(As always, for safety, make sure you have a backup of your files and database done beforehand)
I did re-install it. Through the updates page and then by overwriting all files from a clean download from wordpress.org
It’s the weirdest thing. is there any plugin that will scan the DB for integrity? I wouldn’t think this issue is related to the database, but it could be…
I am uploading an image I have of the Menus page in the WP admin
fb photo of issue
Yeah, that is weird.
Three possibilities that I could be testing if it were me
– simply cleaning your browser’s cache and cookies and trying again. Never happened with wordpress, but I’ve seen various sites look totally bad after an update of their CMS, admin-side, until I cleared my cache and cookies, haha.
– create yourself a brand new admin-power-level account, and see if that new user has the same issue. At times, I found that some admin items were looking weird, and resulted from total clutter in the wp_options for my admin user, creating myself a new admin-level account solved the problem, I just switched to the new account
– or you could try a “cleaner” reinstallation, based on an initial deletion of the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. Maybe files that should have been deleted, weren’t.
Because the FTP-upload can take a while and nobody wants to see one’s site offline while an upload seems to be sluggisly taking forever, a good trick is to upload your brand new wordpress files in a subdirectory (like /reuploading/ ) and, once the upload is done, only then delete the wp-admin and wp-includes directories, after which you’d be simply moving the contents of /reuploading/ to the folder above…
Also, before the heavy operations, are you seeing weird things shown in your website’s apache error log, associated with your IP ? This way, you’ll see if stuff happens when it’s you, as the admin, browsing the site…
Found the actual problem, now I need to determine what caused it
