WordPress Dashboard dropdown not working. (WordPress Messed up)

deactivate your plugins and reactivate them one at a time and see if and when the problem comes back. if it comes back after activating a specific plugin you’ve found the problem.

Yeah. I’ve been trying that all week and nothing happens. Is there anything else that I can try?

what version of wp are you running? you say it’s updated so i assume it’s 4.0.

what plugins are you running and what theme are you using?

Hello, I had the theme “adventurous” installed. I was trying to do some editing in the menus. I tried to edit the file adventurous-menus.php and got this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘”UTF-8″‘ (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data03/95/2292195/html/wp-content/themes/adventurous/inc/adventurous-menus.php on line 63

Then I downloaded the theme and opened the adventurous-menus.php file in notepad and copy pasted it in the Edit themes page but I am still getting the same error message. Now I am stuck I cannot do anything. Please guys help me soon. Is there any way to undo the changes or reset the theme or apply a new theme. Note that I cannot go to my site also.

hello, have you just hijacked this thread?

I’m using the Maron Podcast Theme of Appendipity, with WP 4.0. I freshly installed the theme and Genesis Framework. I have 25 total plugins running just basic plugins, I deactivated them all and reactivate it again one at a time. What else could possible causing this issue?

well, a couple of things could be at play, the theme is a paid for theme so only they can really address any issues related to their themes, might be worth dropping them a line. also, if you’ve got 25 plugins on the site, some of them may not all be compatible with 4.0

they may work at a superficial level but behind the scenes they could be making a mess of things. check them all individually and see what version they’re compatible up to and when the last time the developer updated it…

beyond that i’ve pretty much exhausted my ideas. i’m still sure it’s a plugins conflict somewhere but i have no idea where or what…

good luck my friend, wish i could have helped more.

I found something on the site.

I don’t know what does it means.

I remove all themes that not in used, removed all plugins that are inactive and not being used.

try reverting you theme back to the default wordpress theme to see if that solves the issue.

I already deleted the default theme, all theme that are not in use.

I have 3 domains hosted in one hosting. All of them have the same issue. And I checked them and all have cloaking stuff on Body class.

you can reinstall the default theme, it’s built by the same people who made wordpress so it’s perfectly safe and it’s also a diagnostic tool for exactly these situations. get the default theme back on there, activate it and see if the site exhibits the same issues.

Yes there is still problem with body class..

I reverted the 3 domains into Twenty Fourteen. All of them have issue like that.

well, the good news is that the size of the discrepancy has gone down!

can you please list all of the plugins you have on your site? both active and deactivated.

These are the plugins that I’m using:

Akismet
Blubrry PowerPress
Comment Redirect by Yoast
Contact Form 7
Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator
Genesis Simple Hooks
Google Analytics by Yoast

I deleted plugins that are inactive.

if you’ve got ftp access to the server your site is on, download a copy of the Maron theme to your computer and then completely remove it from the site. if this doesn’t solve it then at least you’ve got your backup that you can re-upload.

i have a sneaking suspicion it’s that theme, even if it’s not active it might still be doing stuff…
