# Cannot edit menus – corrupt PHP?

 * Hi everyone, I’ve had this problem for quite some time and I don’t know who to
   go to. I’ve had it on several different versions. I’m not really techy but I 
   use Genesis framework with a free theme: Adaptation. I’ve tried deactivating 
   my plugins and recently updated both genesis and wordpress with no change.
 * I go to the menu part of my site /wp-admin/nav-menus.php and I can’t see any 
   of my menus. Most of the buttons don’t work on the page, including screen options.
   When I click “create a new menu” I go to this page /wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action
   =edit&menu=0 and the pages and posts on the side are no longer clickable.
 * Something is definitely corrupt. I don’t know how it got this way and cannot 
   edit the code myself to fix it. Does anyone have any tips or can direct me to
   someone who can help me? I would consider taking all my post and pages and just
   starting over but I don’t know how to do that either.
 * Thanks!

 * Try [Using Your Browser to Diagnose JavaScript Errors](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors)
 * But you’re using a premium/paid theme, so it’s best to go to the support site
   where you bought the theme – [http://www.studiopress.com/forums/](http://www.studiopress.com/forums/)–
   for help with customizations and issues. You paid for support when you bought
   the theme, so you should contact the people who sold you the theme.
 * These forums are for free themes available in the WordPress theme directory at
   [http://wordpress.org/themes/](http://wordpress.org/themes/). See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)

 * Hmmmm, The theme I’m using was free. Plus, I don’t think it has anything to do
   with the theme. I’ve changed it several times trying to sort this out.

 * The theme may be free, but it is built on and uses Genesis, which is a premium
   framework. Use the StudioPress forums for the forums where you got the theme.
 * If you don’t think it is the theme, use the link to [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors)
 * And do a reinstall of WordPress from the Update menu.

 * [@angelav88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelav88/) angelav88 did you
   get this resolved? I also am seeing one of my sites with this problem and it 
   seems the only thing new is the latest WordPress.

 * Nope, I didn’t fully resolve it. I found a work around though. I changed to a
   theme that allows me to edit the menus a different way. It’s a free wordpress
   theme.
 * Also, it was not because of the theme being on genesis. I still cannot edit the
   menus here: /wp-admin/nav-menus.php? even though it’s a purely wordpress theme.
