Dashboard missing and I can’t access the theme editor

Log in:

https://webwritinginfo.com/wp-login.php

I know how to login. ?? I’m talking about once I login and I’m in the control panel.

Here is a screenshot of the blog (upgraded to new wordpress):

Versus one of my other blogs that was a clean install:

I can’t do much with the first blog until I know how to get that left hand side dashboard.

Any idea how I can get this to appear or do I need to clean it out and then restart from scratch?

Not sure why the links aren’t working. Let me try again:

Hi there, sounds like your dashboard is not fully expanded, find the icon of the small house at the very top left, underneath is another small link which should open the left side of the dashboard, once opend you should have three columns, for finding theme editor, plugins, and appearance the sidebar is self xplanatory.
hope it helps.

PS. judging by your screenshots, you have the full dashboard.

Hi Mike,

It looks like I uploaded the same screenshot twice – here is the actual one that I’m having a problem with:

I have a large house, but nothing in the corner.

Thanks for your attempt to help!

Hi again, well the latest screenshot shows no leftbar, the only thing I can suggest is reuploading wp-admin directory, maybe a fresh copy.
hope it works out.
mike.

Thanks for the help! I think that will probably work.

hi courtknee-
im having the same issue you were (are?) – nothing on the left hand side. im not a programmer at all, do you have any advice for me on how to fix this? ack!

ahh – i found the culprit…
“lighter-admin-drop-menus” (i just deleted the entire folder using cpanel and everything seems to work now)
