No admin dashboard?

  • My admin dashboard consists only of [linked] text – in one tall column all the way down the page. Initially I thought I was not code saavy enough to figure out the whole thing – I think instead some visual component is missing bc all I have found in my search for help is that the dashboard is pretty and user friendly. What’s wrong?

    does anybody actually respond to these posts. i am having the same problem no dashboard i cannot log in to do a new post. What is going on??

    I’m responding. Have you tried the above suggestions? If so, please provide more information so that it is easier to help you?

    I’m having a similar problem. I’m new to wordpress…how do you remove the old admin file and upload just thew admin file again?

    Sorry…typo in last post. How do you upload just the new /wp-admin file with re-installing all of wordpress and losing my themes?

    @matt, your theme is in wp-content/themes/<yourthemename>. So long as you don’t overwrite that, your theme is safe. You should back it up though. Its just good habit. What you need to upload is in /wp-admin— not even in the wp-contents folder much less the wp-contents/themes one. To upload it, you need to…
    1) login via FTP (my preference) or find your host’s file manager if there is one
    2) browse to your local copy of WordPress
    3) find the wp-admin folder, select it, but don’t browse into it. You want to upload the whole folder.
    4) Now browse the remote server until you see the wp-admin folder. Don’t browse into that folder though.
    5) Now upload the wp-admin folder you selected previously in step 3 Most FTP has a fairly obvious ‘upload’ button.
    5) If you screw something up, don’t worry about it because you backed up your theme already anyway, right? Just start over, deleting whatever it was you put in the wrong place.

    what’s the actual process of uploading the new /wp-admin file? All I ever done so far is the initial install of wordpress.

    I guess I didn’t edit that quickly enough.

    Thanks for help. I’m working on it and learning at the same time!

    I am a writer. Usually hire someone to do this stuff. All was going well. I even bought WordPress 101 to learn how to do all this right (I am completely NOT tech-savvy). But after I logged off and then logged back on – it wouldn’t recognize me. So I got a new password. I then changed back to my original. I made my computer remember it. But now I no longer have access to my admin page. I can’t find admin (cookies are enabled). I don’t know how to upload the new /wp-admin file. I have no idea what that means or where to start. I’m TOTALLY FRUSTRATED! Help! Please….

    Oh and PS – I when I try to log on from scratch (not from computer that remembers my login) the system says my user name doesn’t exist – which it does. Ughhhhhhh! =(

    My dashboard has disappeared again. Is this a common problem that will keep recurring? I don’t understand how to upload the admin file. I can find it but I am completely computer illiterate. What is FTP?
    Please help this is really frustrating, as it’s the second time in a week that the dashboard has gone. No-one else I know has encountered this problem.

    I made a change to my Heading (on my General page on my dashboard)) and when I updated it I got an “OOPS!!! Page not found” error.

    Now I can’t seem to even FIND my dashboard!

    When you go to my site https://www.encorelakeshore.com the result is what looks like a sitemap. encorelakeshore.com/wp-admin results in the same “OOPS!!!” error… HELP!
