Missing dashboard sidebar navigation

Is the left navigation in a collapsed state? Someone else had a similar problem that was caused by their firewall.

I have this same problem, but I’m not even seeing a collapsed state at all. I’m using FireFox & I don’t have a firewall block.
Edited to add: This problem is in my Admin menu. I can’t see anything except the large squares that show up in the middle.

If you are running the Admin Drop Down Menu WordPress Plugin, or another Plugin that interacts with the Administration Panel’s menu navigation, it could be causing problems. See Help! Left sidebar not appearing on the wp-admin dashboard.

Wow, are we already on 10 posts about the same thing? Do people search the forums before posting? Perhaps this subject is a good one for a sticky.

Deactivated Lighter Menus and it’s now showing up. For some reason I thought the plugin was already deactivated so I didn’t think to check it.

@gangleri – what search terms did you use because I can’t seem to find any posts about this issue and I’d like to share my solution with them.

Yep, that’s what I just did to fix it too. ?? Works perfect now.

It worked for me, many thanks
