    I did a full restore a WP backup from last week (because all image files ended up being broken). After backup everything looked good, however menu bar is missing.

    I tried creating a new menu bar in live Preview and can see it, but when I click Publish it disappears again.

    I’ve tried:
    Deactivating all plugins,
    Switching to a new theme,
    Widgets > Nav Menu,
    Menus > Menu Structure,
    Customize > Menus

    Each time creating the menu tabs only to have them disappear when saving.

    FWIW – I noticed in Theme Editor, the stylesheet (style.css) says there are 3 errors that must be fixed before updating. I know nothing about this stuff…

    .top-menu-arrows>li>.top-menu-with-ul:focus:after,.top-menu-arrows>li:hover>.top-menu-with-ul:after,.top-menu-arrows>.top-menuHover>.top-menu-with-ul: after {

    * expected a FUNCTION or INDENT after colon at line 491, col 150

    .top-menu-arrows ul li>.top-menu-with-ul:focus:after,.top-menu-arrows ul li:hover>.top-menu-with-ul:after,.top-menu-arrows ul .top-menuHover>.top-menu-with-ul: after {

    * expected a FUNCTION or INDENT after colon at line 495, col 159

    .sf-arrows>li>.sf-with-ul:focus:after,.sf-arrows>li:hover>.sf-with-ul:after,.sf-arrows>.sfHover>.sf-with-ul: after {
    * expected a FUNCTION or INDENT after colon at line 495, col 159

    There were a bunch of other round yellow exclamation points as well…

    @jnashhawkins? anyone?
    I spoke with the Theme editor, they took a look and couldn’t find the issue.. said it might be a server thing, so I’ve been talking with the host company.. but even they seem unsure.

    Is this for the TDI website?

    Is that site then hosted on that multisite you were having trouble with last week?

    I just took a look and found a hamburger menu button but that menu is empty and the default menu space in the theme’s display menu looks to be gone.

    If it was me I’d kill all the plugins via the dashboard for that site. That way you don’t hurt the other sites on that multisite if that’s where you are at!

    Next… Bring the site up on a generic theme. I’d bring it up on Twenty Thirteen… get that menu working there. Then switch your theme back.

    Let me know.

    I’m in the hospital out here in Winchester but I’m supposed to go home tomorrow. Be patient if I don’t get back to you ASAP.

    Just tried all that. Still nothing =/
    It shows up, then once I hit publish it all disappears.

    Hope you’re doing good. Appreciate the help.

    Is it the TDI site? Is it on that multisite?

    yeah, that’s the one – tdiforaccess.org

    Couple weeks ago at one point all the images went missing, I have no idea why…
    so I did a server restore, and then a WP DB restore, which reverted the WP back to pre-multisite and the pictures were back, but the menu went missing.

    I just put the multisite back, and still no luck

    As I looked at a few pages over at ‘The Wayback Machine’ I noticed there was an ad placement in the header area of the page.

    What happened to those? What drives those? Or did drive those?

    I was able to see the menu from the old site copies at the Wayback Machine. I’m convinced something before the menu is killing that menu. That’s usually a theme issue. Unless someone went in and ‘edited’ the wrong files trying to fix something.

    The ads are part of an Ad Manager plugin thats been disabled. It functions fine when I activate it.

    I didn’t edit any files, but I did notice a while ago at one point all the images were broken. After doing a server restore, which brought wordpress back to pre-multisite, then doing a wordpress restore, all the images were restore but the menu broke.

    So I’m not sure if the restore happen to overwrite something causing it to break?

    The theme editor did check it out and said he did disable his theme and activated a different one but the problem persisted so he didn’t think it was his theme and that it was server related.

    repaired file paths in database/server.
