# WordPress backend is broken

 * Clicking on elements within the WordPress admin site (the Edit button on columns,
   the Screen Options and Help dropdowns, even the ‘x’ to close notifications on
   top of the screen) does not do anything. I can’t get to the HTML for my columns
   or even get to the Help options. Clicking buttons for things like ‘Add Form’ 
   still works.
 * Here are screenshots of the page:

 * My site is lagunacanyon.org. I’m just trying to expand one of the columns (second
   screenshot). Usually a box will pop up with the HTML, but I can’t get it to show.
 * I have tried this on two different browsers over the past two days. Is anyone
   else having this issue?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-backend-is-broken%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It’s most likely a plugin or theme with a javascript error.
