 * Hey all,
 * I just installed the new version and when I go to my dashboard and try to write
   a new post, the text box stuff is missing ie, bold, italic, centre, indent, fonts,
   font size. None of the icons are showing. How do I reinstall WP?
    Thanks,
 * Steve.

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

 * Hi Esmi, I did a complete reinstall of WP but the dashboard icons are still missing.
 * Any more ideas?

 * is there at least one row of buttons showing? if so find the “Show hide kitchen
   sink button”
 * if not are you in the html edit view?
 * if not can you put your screenshot somewhere. What version of WP did you start
   with, which are you on now. How did you “complete reinstall of WP”

 * Hi there,
 * There are no buttons at all. I’m in Visual view, It’s a new site install, latest
   version of WP.
 * I uninstalled it via Filezilla (deleted wp) then re uploaded to Filezilla.

 * Try adding `define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );` to the bottom of your wp-
   config.php file (just before the `require_once` line).

 * Hi Esmi,
 * That’s brought up the icons but no definition. ie, the grey boxes are there but
   nothing written/images on them. At least I have the tool tip menu when I hover
   my mouse so that’s a start.
 * Thanks.

 * There seems to be an issue with the images. When I look to alter my theme, none
   of the images are showing up.

 * Check that anti-hotlinking isn’t enabled in your hosting account. If it is, try
   disabling it.

 * I have several instances of WP on various sites all with the same host and they
   all work fine so I don’t think that’s the problem Esmi.
