 * We can not edit our menus (plus a few other related problems). We have spent 
   considerable time with Hostgator, but they can not seem to help.
 * With a default theme and no plugins, the editing capability has vanished. In 
   dashboard/appearance/menu under Menu Structure the editing dropdown arrows are
   not visible.
 * Menu Structure
 * Drag each item into the order you prefer. Click the arrow on the right of the
   item to reveal additional configuration options.
 * Home
    Page ↑ | ↓ Home. Menu item 1 of 5. Library Lessons Page ↑ | ↓ Library Lessons.
   Menu item 2 of 5. My Library Page ↑ | ↓ My Library. Menu item 3 of 5.
 * We can not, for example, delete one of the above items.
 * This issue is on all of our sites on the same server.
 * Thanks,
    Bill

 * Are the sites being run under multi-site, or are they individual installations?
 * What version of WordPress are you running?

 * All the site run individually on 4.1.1. Five different ones all with the same
   issue.
 * Oddly, or maybe a clue, is one of them is in a sub-directory and WordPress works
   as expected.

 * I am having the same issue with my menu structure. When I try to make a menu 
   item into a sub-item, it automatically goes back to being a regular top-level
   menu item after clicking Save!
 * Please let me know if anyone has figured anything out.

 * Were your sites working ok before? Did it break with the 4.1.1 update?

 * The sites stopped working with 4.1. We had hoped the 4.1.1 updates would bring
   a fix to our issue. We had thought it was a broad issue. Now it looks like we
   own it alone. We suspect something is going on with the root files. Maybe moving
   one of the sites to a new host will show if that is the case or not.
