 * None of the links/tabs in Shield are working. It’s telling me “Warning: Shield
   Security Is Not Protecting Your Site”, but the link to “Click to jump to the 
   relevant option” takes me to the wrong place. (The URL says it’s the right page/
   tab, but it will only show “Pugin Defaults”, whichever tab I click.)

 * Hi,
 * Sorry to hear about the troubles you’re having.
 * Can I ask you to activate the web browser console and load the plugin settings
   page and share with us the errors that are being displayed there, please?
 * We have a small guide how to do this (please see the 2nd part of the article)
   here:

 * With the browser console open can you click on the “Console” tab (not Network
   in this case) and review any Javascript errors displayed there? Perhaps share
   a screenshot of what you see.
 * After the console is opened, you’ll need to refresh the page to regenerate any
   errors.

 * something is stopping you from switching tabs – this is likely a javascript error–
   there’s nothing else I can think of that would be causing this. You could use
   a tool like snagit. There’s no shortage of tools like this:

 * could you use a similar sort of system to take a quick video of what’s happening–
   it’s possible we’re not understanding the nature of the problem. The more you
   can show us the better – for example we can’t see your admin screen in that screenshot

 * Yep, that was very helpful.
 * So here’s what’s happening.
 * Each plugin/theme on your site has their own set of CSS and JS files that they
   load into the WP admin pages. Some plugin developers are careful, and they load
   these files only in the pages they need.
 * Some plugin developers don’t care about other developers and so they load their
   CSS/JS files into ALL WP admin pages. One of the plugins on your site is loading
   their CSS/JS files on our pages and it’s breaking our admin area.
 * So the only way to fix this is to find the plugin (or theme) that’s doing this.
 * To do this, you will need to temporarily disable each plugin, and test to see
   if it’s fixed. It’s a huge pain, but unfortunately it’s the only way to find 
   the culprit.
 * Here’s how to do it:
    1. Open 2x browser windows, 1 for your plugins page, 1 for the Shield admin page
       that’s broken
    2. Start at the top, and disable a plugin
    3. Open the admin page for the Shield admin and refresh
    4. If it’s still broken, go back to the plugins page and re-activate the plugin
       you just disabled. Then repeat steps 2 – 4 for each plugin.
    5. Once it’s fixed, use this opportunity to turn your Shield plugin back on under
       the “Disable” tab.
    6. if you want to re-enable the plugin that’s breaking your shield UI, you can 
       do so now
 *  - Then could you tell us the plugin that breaking our admin UI and we’ll see
      what we can do.
    - If none of the plugins are causing this, could you tell us your theme name?
    - I’m sorry you have to do this, but every now and again it happens that a plugin
      does this.

 * Thanks. It wasn’t any of the plugins, but switching to one of WP’s standard themes
   removed the issue. I’ve now re-enabled Shield and switched back to our theme.
   This is an in-house, custom theme, which is the basis of all our sites, so I’m
   not sure why it should have been causing an issue on this site.
 * Anyway, thanks very much for the help!

 * The theme is probably enqueueing Javascript or CSS in the WP admin for all WP
   admin pages – best to make sure it enqueues **only the assets** it needs, and**
   only on the pages** it needs them.

 * Oh dear. Now that I have Shield running again we are unable to log in (had to
   add the forceoff file). Doing this lets us log in, but “Click here to automatically
   delete this file” and then trying to log in again gives “Wrong Username or Password!”.
 * Note that this is using PA Modal Login plugin: if I try logging in using ‘normal’/
   wp-login.php it does work… but this isn’t part of the user experience.
 * I’m trying to work around this now, but need to ask a question: where do I find
   the settings that enables/disables the “I’m a human” checkbox during login? (
   I can never find it!)

 * Found it!
 * By disabling this, logging in via PA Modal login started working again, but I
   don’t really understand why this problem has cropped up now. The site has been
   running perfectly fine for at least 3 years, and the “I’m a human” checkbox has
   never appeared on the modal login.

 * I can’t say why that would change, unless perhaps that plugin changed how its
   forms are generated?
 * You could try using Shield’s newer Antibot Detection System on the login forms
   in-place for the bot checkbox.
