flemingworks: Is javascript disabled in your browser? That’s what it looks like to me.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Yes, an idea. In my own case a few days ago, I had some kind of block going in .htaccess, and the Dashboard problem immediately disappeared after I had fixed that.
Most of the time, it is a JavaScript problem, I used to face it for one of my client projects. It is caused by JavaScript not working properly or conflicts.
Maybe you can activate the parent theme and see if it works properly.
If it works, there is something wrong with your child theme.
Hi,
Thanks for all the replies everyone. I activated the Twenty Twelve as well as the Twenty Eleven parent themes and in both cases I faced the same problem.
I made sure that firefox has javascript enabled and ticked all the boxes in the advanced panel as well.
Am still having the problem.
@leejosepho what change did you make to the htaccess file to fix it?
Thanks!

I went to my server via FTP and deleted .htaccess, then put this default back in place:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I do not understand very much about all of that, but that worked for me and you can find some good reading about that kind of stuff over here:

Hi, @leejosepho
thanks for sending that through. Before changing the htaccess file I scanned the posts in the link and saw some comments that made me think it might be related to other plugins I am running. So I deactived two plugins I had been running – Slick Contact Forms and WP Coming Soon – and it fixed the problem for me. One of those plugins must have been causing the error.
Thanks!
