 * Hi I have a blog that I haven’t looked at for awhile.In W/P admin The dash board
   left column shows post,media,comments,profile,tools But it doesn’t show links,
   pages,appearance,plugins,users ? Ive tried screen options. How can I get those
   other categories to show ? or have I been hacked?

 * Are you sure that you are logged in with full admin status. Sounds like you only
   have Editor status or below.
 * > or have I been hacked
 * I’m afraid that’s a distinct possibility. This is why you should always ensure
   that you are running the latest version of WordPress. See these resources for
   recovering after a hack:

 * Using PhpMyadmin (or another MySQL management tool), first backup your database.
   Then navigate to your wp_usermeta table and locate the meta_key called “_wp\_capabilities_”
   for your user_id. Change the meta-value for this record to:
 * `a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}`

 * I check wp log/in details they are correct. Thank you for your time and reply!!
