 * Hi,
    I no longer see wordpress icons on Admin. They are now displaying as squares.

 * I think it was right after wordpress updating to version 4.7.5, but i don’t know
   for sure.

 * Try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves
   the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them
   individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). – switching to the
   unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen.) for a moment using the WP dashboard
   to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).–**
   MANUALLY** re-updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your
   computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders **EXCEPT the
   wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory.** You may need to delete the
   old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading
   the new ones. Please read the [Manual Update](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first. – **Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything(
   including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really
   goes wrong. You can never have enough backups! **
