Folks: I found the answer at least for me.

It seems to be in the “Lighter Menus” plug in; if you are using that plug in you need to de-activate it or delete it.

I got to the plugin page via the following link:

https://www.yourdomainname.com/wp-admin/plugin.php

…..deactivated my “lighter menus” plug-in and the far left dashboard sidebar instantly appeared!!
Hope this helps!
Ken

Wonderful and Thanks!

I’ve had the same problem for days now with my most important business site and your advice Gangleri in the first link was the solution.

I guess that means as I upgrade other sites, rather before I do I need to deactivate/delete the “lighter menus” plugin.

Thanks Again!
Ken

Yes, I also cannot afford to update any other sites to 2.7 as it makes the site completely useless.

I hope someone can provide the solution soon.

Obviously, others are having the same problem.

Hello:

I have none at all and the upgrade was a plugin update.

Thanks,
Ken

Hello Ipstenu:

I see from your post the left-most column under the blue heading of Dashboard that lists everything I’m looking for, the problem for me is that that column does not show up on the site I upgraded to 2.7., it simply is not there.

I don’t know how to open that column, how do I do that?

Thanks,
Ken

Hello Mike: I do have two columns showing under the term “Dashboard” but there is no “left” menu. Also, when you say “open the far left column”…I must admit I don’t know how to do that.

Please advise, and I do appreciate your help!

Ken

Hello Mike:

Thanks for the help; but, no there is no sidebar in the dashboard.

Please advise.

Thanks
Ken

I agree that version 2.7 is, for me, completly dysfunctional…I can’t find anything. Can’t get to plugins, links….nothing.

I’m not going to upgrade the rest of my sites to this version, I’ll stick with 2.6 for as long as I can.

Arnee:

It does not appear on the plug in list; yet it was uploaded with my FTP software….I’ve uploaded everything with the same FTP….don’t know why it won’t show up in the plug in list.
