    I can only access the wp-admin/nav-menus.php by deactivating the W3 plugin with Wordfence running. I found this over at Wordfence site but do not know if it is an answer.

    “Caching and optimization plugins
    If you use a plugin that “minifies” scripts or concatenates (combines) scripts, any script that is loaded can trigger a problem with other scripts. This type of feature is usually included in a caching or optimization plugin. You can temporarily disable the caching or optimization plugin and check if the problem still occurs. If it stops occurring, there are a few ways it can be fixed:

    If your caching/optimization plugin allows you to exclude some scripts from optimization, you can add Wordfence’s scripts to that list. This is the easiest solution, but may still leave conflicts between other plugins aside from Wordfence.

    Hello,
    Yes, you can exclude files from being minified if you are using Minify on Auto. However, you can also switch to manual minify and add js files manually. By doing this you can choose which files you want to add to minify and which you don’t i.e. Wordfence scripts.
    Also, make sure to update the plugin to the latest 0.9.7.2 version as it fixes some bugs from previous versions.

    Thank you for your response. I will have to continue to trouble shoot as first attempt failed.

    Great plugin though. I will report back when fixed.

    I am sure not many admit this, I was mistaken. Deactivating W3 fixed the problem, but when I removed Smush, I no longer have the issue. As I optimize images before uploading Smush gave no benefit.

    Just to mention one thing. Sometimes after cache purge, Chrome desktop will display mobile version of image above masthead. Firefox ok. It just requires another purge.
