Feel free to follow, I’m kind of curious to know what caused this 😉 * [Tonis_troubles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonis_troubles/) * (@tonis_troubles) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-backend-is-loading-without-style/#post-13442340) * I had this same issue, for me it had to do with changing to PHP 7.4.8. After I changed back to 7.3.20 everything worked fine again.
