First, try adding this to wp-config.pphp
define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
If that doesn’t help, remove it and …
This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/ On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site. You can then use its admin bar menu to turn on/off plugins and themes one at a time.
Thank you for the assist!
Okay so I tried adding the concatenate script – the site wouldn’t load at all. So I removed it as suggested.
I activated the Twenty Seventeen theme, still doesn’t work with that theme.
I installed health check. Still doesn’t work with ONLY that active plugin.
I also noticed, that where you would normally go into Customize and it brings up the activate menu/section items for the unique active template you are using, nothing is there. It is all a complete blank for any template.
Again, the only active plugin at this time is health-check
PUt the define back in wp-config.php but do it correctly — after the opening <?php
define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
THe first example had the wrong quotes in it. Use this one.
give me a minute, I am going to completely remove all other plugins and themes
Okay, the only plugins on the site are health check and hello dolly. The only template is twenty seventeen.
It still won’t let me manipulate any links into sub-menu locations, and no info shows up under the customize option.
no errors shown, but interestingly – after adding the debug line of code, I am now able to manipulate the menu items! so at least part of it is fixed. I will edit the menus, then try reactivating the other theme and plugins, and will update when done!
so this is all it needed at this time to make it work again:
define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);
I think that’s it! I activated the theme plugins, and everything seems to work!
I just have to figure some stuff out. Thanks again!
Okay, so I do need to turn the debug on and off in order to move the menu items, which I find odd – as most people would not have the level of access I do with FTP/config files in normal usage. But I can work with it.
What is still not working is adding new links to the menu. Down on the right-hand side where you would normally be able to add posts/Custom Links/Categories. None of those are able to be added to the menu.
Have you tried *just* the concatenate scripts line?
I did – that made the site not load
I just realized that none of the widgets are moveable either. Even with the debug line set to true
