Admin Page Appears Weird

Perhaps try re-upload the wp-admin and wp-includes folder from a freshly downloaded copy of WordPress.

It looks like the css has not loaded try keys CTRL + F5 it could need a cache refresh, also there are pre-requistes for 3.2.1, this plugin checks to see if your server has the right php and mysql versions.

There is also the JQuery that the admin panel now uses for the menu’s, are you sure there are no plugins that might be affecting the jquery.

You should be able to just re-install WordPress from the Updates page and press Ctrl+F5 to load the stylesheets.

That’s what I did but it’s still not working.

@digital Raindrops
I use MySQL 5.0, Surely that’s fine?

what plugins do you run?

@jakesyl
None. *sigh*

Apparently, a lot of people have this problem. Try googling “No CSS on admin page”… It’s in so many forums! But none has any solutions. And there are a few topics discussing about this problem on the WordPress forum too – but all have no solutions.
Even my friends say that it happened to their blogs but they don’t know how to fix it and what caused it.

There are millions of users that have not had this problem, so it is likely specific to some server configurations.

What version of PHP and JQuery are supported on your server?

Create a file with notepad and add a single line!
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Save the file something like mywebinfo.php, then use ftp to upload it to your website root folder.

Then in a browser enter the url to https://YourWebsiteUrl/mywebinfo.php

And have a look at the setup, which version php etc:, then delete the file.

The minimum requirements hve changed to PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0

Thank you, Digital Raindrops.

This is what I got:

PHP Version 5.2.14

MySQL 5.0

OK, so I guess it’s my PHP then. Sorry, but how do I fix that? Is it advisable for me to upgrade to 5.3? I heard that it could mess up some mess certain things up.

“It is not only about deprecated functions which are creating Warnings or Notices but TCPDF library for generating PDF has created some wired problems due to which I have to roll back to the older version, as it was one of the crucial functionality of the application.”

Thank you.

What FTP client are you using to transfer your files? I’ve seen this issue occur when the client doesn’t correctly process files between it’s binary and passive configuration modes.

[Just an aside: Never (repeat. never!) use Dreamweaver’s FTP client to transfer WordPress files. It makes things very bad.]

@thewebatom

I use Filezilla, which should be alright, right? *sigh*
I’m seriously new at this. I haven’t even got my page up properly yet. And now this happens… I’m really clueless right now.

Interesting, I’m starting to run out of idea’s. What’s your URL?

Oh, should I add that I’m using Mac OS X (10.6)? Does that make any difference?
And it’s just as messed up in Safari as it is in Chrome, Opera and IE.

How do I check my JQuery? (I don’t even know what that is? Sorry. ?? )

It’s shafieza.com

– Your operating system doesn’t make a difference.
– jQuery is fine on your site, I just tested it myself for you.

In the footer of your theme there is some code that is worrying me:
</iframe></noscript></object></layer></span></div></table></body></html><!– adsok –>
<script language=’javascript’ src=’https://a12.alphadomainservices.com/hosting_ads/gd02.js’></script&gt;

It looks like an adware or spam injection. Can you go to your browsers “view source” option inside the dashboard and copy/paste the source code to pastebin.

– Who are you hosting your website with? If it is a dodgy free host, they could be injecting scripts into your pages which is interfering with WordPress’ ability to load the CSS.

@thanks for testing it for me! ??

OK, I don’t know anything about those codes.

Here’s the source:

Ah, that might be it. I got my domain from MadDog and I figured since they offer free hosting, I might as well use it.
I shall try a new web host.
Don’t know if a new host would fix it, but I’m willing to give it try.
But before I actually do that, is there any hosting that you recommend?

Thanks.
