 * Hi, I need your help please.
    I just updated to WordPress 4.5 within the dashboard
   area and now the blog doesn’t work and my dashboard looks odd. It’s just words
   with no graphics as before.
 * blog.matthobson.co.uk
 * Thanks for your attention. I hope to resolve this very quickly.

 * Try [manually resetting your plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)(
   no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to `/wp-content/
   themes/` and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force
   the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (
   theme functions can interfere like plugins).
