Dashboard missing for 1/5 WP CMS sites

  • Hey Guys,
    I’m having an issue. I host all my sites through one wordpress CMS. Now, after the bot hackings, there is one site that no longer shows a dashboard when you try to administrate it. All that shows up on the left side is the ‘profile’ button. The site itself is fully functional, but it is like the dashboard has completely disappeared.

    I have already ruled out faulty plugins, since all my sites have the same ones and only one of my five sites isn’t working. There is also only one administrative password and username, so I know it has nothing to do with site permission.

    Does anyone have any tricks?

    Thanks! I totally appreciate any help I can get.

  • If only the profile is displaying on the left hand side, then that means that you no longer have the right admin right. You should be able to change the admin right by going into the wp_user table and changing it to admin.

    Hi Christine,

    I am using v 3.4 and what I assume is the wp-user info and usermeta is wrapped up in wp-includes/user.php. Maybe I am doing it wrong, but I added the ‘admin’ and variable into the spaces and nothing happened. I know there is only one username and password for the entire CMS and each admin interface, so I am really confused.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks! I reaaaaaally appreciate the help.

    You need to look in your database. You can access the wp_user table via phpmyadmin.
