    Wow.

    I just updated 2 sites to WordPress 3.2–both identical themes/plugins. On the first site, everything went smoothly.

    On the second site, I’ve lost the entire left handed column with Dashboard, Posts, Media, Links, pages, comments.

    It’s just gone. I’ve tried restoring a backup which didn’t help using Backup DB which didn’t help.

    I also tried to reinstall wordpress using the reinstall button.

    Note, the only way that I could do the above functions was by copying and pasting links from my other wordpress blog.

    How can I fix this problem?

    thanks

  • Ah ok thanks…I didn’t know how to access my plugins, but that did the trick. I turned off WP-insert and it fixed the problem.

    So do we just have to wait till they update it?

    I know that this post says resolved, but many people like WP-Insert and use it frequently. I just upgraded one of my sites and had the same problem with the Menu sidebar missing. I just deactivated WP-Insert and it is back, but I don’t like this update if its going to do that. I will not upgrade my other sites to 3.2 until this problem in conflict with some plugins shows resolved. It stops important work and it is an annoyance.

    Everyone : I have update Wp-Insert to version 1.7.4 to be compatible with WordPress 3.2. Those who have not upgraded your WordPress installations upgrade Wp-Insert prior to updating WordPress. If you have already upgraded and lost your menu..

    1) Login to your site via FTP.
    2) Goto wp-content/plugins/
    3) Delete the folder Wp-Insert
    4) Login to your WordPress admin.
    5) Click Add New under Plugins menu and install and activatre Wp-Insert.

    Regards.

    For those with multiple writers on their sites that would like to keep track of or allow each writer uses their own ads, a simple modification to the themes function.php will allow the user via the profile to paste their own ad codes in without effecting or having a negative impact to the pulbished article by injecting unwanted java etc. into the article… this will place their add at the endof their article right before “comments”

    mikebiz74 – It’s flagged resolved because the issue with 3.2 is resolved (though NOT with wp-insert, but thank you namith.jawahar for the fix! I’ll update the master list!)

    For the record, WordPress.com is not “official” when it comes to www.remarpro.com. It is official only for WordPress.com, as it is a separate business. The difference is that Automattic/WordPress.com donates a number of staff members to contribute to the open source project, and Matt founded both, so sometimes people get confused. www.remarpro.com, wordpressfoundation.org, and wordcamp.org are the official sites.

    I recently upgraded to WordPress 3.2 and now I can’t add tags to my posts or even do quick edits.

    Does anyone know why or can help me with this? Thanks!

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Hi esmi,

    I’ve deactivated all plugins and that didn’t work.

    I haven’t tried switching to the Twenty Eleven theme because I’m currently using the Weaver theme which allows a newbie like me to use freely the set options to design my site. I’m afraid that if I change themes everything I’ve built up so far will be gone ??

    As for your 3rd suggestion, what do you mean by resetting the plugins folder? Can you enlighten me a bit on this?

    Thanks so much for your help esmi. I truly appreciate it ??

    aelabalos – New topic please.

    Jane – Thanks ?? I just mean it’s officially WordPress (as opposed to say OttoPress, or WPMUTutorials, both of which are hella useful, but not official resources of anything).
