 * I’m new . . . so I don’t even KNOW all my problems, yet.
    BUT (1) the time is
   incorrect and (2) I can’t get the VISUAL editor to work right. It uses HTML and
   doesn’t have the helpful menu bar on top. (3) Finally, how do I get dashboard
   from the front page? I’ve been using “edit entry”

 * I am having the same problem with the Visual Editor. When I create a new post,
   the visual editor text box will not accept the cursor. No way to type there. 
   When I select the HTML page I can input.
 * Also, the kitchen sink ribbon is not displaying.
 * I also cannot click the icons above the editor ribbon (the insert photo, audio,
   etc. icons).
 * I had the problem with the icons being inactive in version 2.7, but only for 
   Contributors – the Editors and Admins could use them perfectly. Now, no one can.

 * My understanding is that there’s a HUGE problem with VISUAL for most 2.8 users.
   I got “lucky” — a friend corrected certain files BUT, unfortunately, I can’t 
   tell you how he did it.
 * So the major value of my note is to suggest you find someone who can fix the 
   files.
 * GOOD LUCK
