WordPress Dashboard Broken

Hi @ad1av,

Have you tried reinstalling WordPress? This sometimes solves cosmetic problems like that. It’s also worth checking your file permissions too, as this can sometimes cause problems like that. You can get your hosting support involved if you’re not too sure. The below article also helps with further information on file permissions.

Changing File Permissions

I suspect it is linked to your hosting move. I’ve had it in the past, but it is definitely fixable. ??

Kind Regards,

Hello.

What is a browser error console reporting?

Had there been any CDN’s in use?

Hiya @tneville, thanks alot mate!
I’ll have a look and try contacting the hosting support too ??

Yup, got a hunch that this had something to do with hosting.
Thanks alot for your quick reply and have a great day mate!
Keep you posted ??

Hey @atxmatt, thanks for taking your time to reply mate!
Here’s a dump of all the errors the console was throwing at me: https://pastebin.com/v7pT7aZ4

Not sure about the CDN mate but it’s most definitely not. Really weird what’s happening but I’m sure there’s an explanation or somewhere I went wrong because *duh*, haha!

What do you make of it?
Thanks again for your reply, I appreciate it!

Hi @ad1av,

No problem, glad I was able to help somewhat. @atxmatt makes good points about the CDN – also make sure any caches you might have are cleared, though most caches do not cache the backend anyway.

Are you getting any errors (e.g. PHP errors) on the server logs too?

Kind Regards,
Tim

I’d say you might try flushing the permalinks.

You can try this from the dashboard but by the context so far you may be unable to.

To do this you will want to head over to **WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks**. You will want to take note of what the current settings are and *copy/paste* the current custom structure (if there is one) into a notepad.

You will then change the permalinks settings to anything else and then save the new settings. This will flush and refresh the permalink settings. Once this is complete you will then change the settings back to what they were prior and go ahead save once again.

Once you have done all this, please clear your browser cache and any site cache. You can also visit the site with a query string attached to help bust cache, e.g.https://theroyalts.co.uk/?cachebust

You could try a fresh .htaccess. This is what would be inside the file:

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
