# Missing menu for editing

 * My menus have been stable for a while, and work fine. But I thought I’d slightly
   change the wording to a couple, and went to the area where one does this (Appearance–
   Menus).
 * All the lists on the left are greyed out, and the menu I had created is no longer
   on the right. However, the menus on the site are there and work fine, provided
   I don’t want to change anything.
 * I have edited the native css with minor colour changes, but I have not done the
   latest Frontier update. Site: [http://www.bapt.org.uk/](http://www.bapt.org.uk/)
 * What has happened? How can I fix it?

 * > What has happened? How can I fix it?
 * I honestly can’t tell.
 * Have you recently edited any php code?
    Have you recently enabled any plugins?
   Try disabling your plugins to see if any causes the problem. You can also try
   reverting to the default themes that are packaged with WordPress ( twentytwelve,
   twentythirteen, twentyfourteen ). These are standard troubleshooting procedures.

 * I don’t know anything about php. Don’t know about plug-ins, and have been enabling
   and dis-abling a bit randomly. But the menue editing area has come back.
 * I imagine that if I experiment with reverting to a different theme, I lose any
   custom CSS that isn’t where it belongs (outside styles.css)?

 * So both of your issues just went away? Your site may be haunted 🙂

 * The values on `Frontier Options` are saved on the database so those are not lost
   when you temporarily change to another theme. The changes on style.css are also
   not deleted when a theme is _deactivated_ you only lose those when the theme 
   is _deleted_ or _updated_.

 * Yes, haunted – the obvious answer!
 * I’ve been experimenting with moving CSS to Custom Styles – some works, some doesn’t(
   perhaps it just needs to be slightly different). But I’ll leave that migration
   until another time, I think – can’t afford for it to not be working tomorow.
 * Thanks for your help!
