 * Hi Guys
 * I have a weird issue with wordpress that i have faced for the first time, the
   CSS for the ADMIN panel or the dashboard is not loading.. this is a fresh install
   for a new blog site, I have tried removing and then doing a fresh upload of wp-
   includes folder using FTP,
 * I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing wordpress but nothing seems 
   to be working, There are no Plugins installed or activated, only a custom theme
   i have developed, please if some body can guide me as to how can i go about removing
   this issue that would be most helpful.
 * Thanks for all the help in Advance.
 * Cheers-
    Saurav Jaiswal

 * What is the URL of your site?
 * Does this occur with different browsers/computers?
 * Does the CSS appear in admin if you switch to the default twentyfourteen theme?
 * If you are unable to get to the option to change themes to try this, in admin
   you can switch to the default theme by connecting by ftp and deactivating the
   current theme by renaming the folder of that theme – perhaps by adding ‘-old’
   to the end of its name.

 * Well i tried switching it to default and was able to do it using the dashboard
   but the css for the dashboard did not work with the default theme as well
 * What else can we do… Any suggestions

 * Try adding the following line to your wp-config.php
 *     ```
       define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
       ```

 * OK i did add it at the end of the WP-config filebut it does not seems to change
   anything… what was your plan with this…
 * Is there any other steps that needs to be followed after adding this.

 * Adding this line can sometimes fix this kind of problem when there are no obvious
   clues and issues with the theme and plugins have been rules out.
 * Have you tried accessing the admin on other browsers/computers?
 * You said you already replaced the wp-includes folder – did you also replace the
   wp-admin folder? If not, can you try that?

 * Can you see what values you have set for WordPress Address (URL) & Site Address(
   URL) at Settings => General?
 * If so, what are they each currently set to?

 * This
    `define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );` worked for me. Just make sure
   you’re using the ‘ (the straight one) and not the ’ (the curly one) — I think
   one is an apostrophe, the other is a single quote. It made all the difference
   in my case.
