If these options are available within the free version of ‘Freesoul Deactivate Plugins’ where can this block of settings be found within the WordPress Backend?

The menu options were: Dashboard, profile and collapse menu.

The only items in the toolbar at the top were the name of the site and my profile name.

Not sure what’s happening. The last time I updated – which was many months ago – all dashboard menu items were available.

The site is peppernewsnow.com

Is there a way to restore menu items without reinstalling WordPress? Any advise/help will be appreciated.

If I change the subdomain to a test site, the admin link doesn’t update.

When I create a new site, the link ends up as

https://wp-admin
which doesn’t work obviously.

When I go to the site settings, the urls are correct.

Anyone seen this before? Thanks.

Admin bar won’t show up on the front side of wordpress. I’ve disabled all plugins and extra themes gone through them one by one to try and find problem. I have also checked to make sure the necessary code snippets are included int he header.php and the footer php.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you,

KT

and this less old one:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/admin-navigation-bar-collapseexpand?replies=20

just had me tearing hair out for a cool minute.

To summarize: I accidentally hit the little “< Collapse Menu” button, which shrinks the sidebar to icons-only view. So I intentionally clicked it a second time to make it expand. But on the next page I clicked away to, it went ahead and collapsed itself, then from that point on it would refuse to stay expanded.

Logged into the site in another browser–> same behavior. Drat!

Created a new admin user just to check–> when logged into that user, the sidebar behaved as expected. I clicked the button to expand/collapse it several times, navigate to different pages, all worked as it supposed to.

Logged back into the other (main) admin, and issue was still there. I tried monkeying with that user a bit, changing the password, changing it’s role… nothing help, it’s like that user was cursed to to have a collapsed menu forever.

So I took the path of least resistance: logged into the new admin, deleted the affected user (attributing all the posts to this new user), then recreated it, using the same email, password and username.

Now when I log into this recreated user, all is well. I could even click the little button and it would do what it’s supposed to. All’s well; it’s just 20 minutes or so that I can’t get back. Oh well.

Just thought I’d share my resolution in case someone else is going hairless out there fighting with their sidebar menu that won’t stay open.

Long-time Google-er, first time poster.

I’ve run into a really weird glitch.

Essentially, the link on the Admin Panel that would ordinarily link to the Pages (and then drop down to allow me to add a new Page) is missing.

Here’s a screenshot: https://www.joelkrigsman.com/admin.png

The glitch has only occurred in the past week but I’m racking my brain as to why it could have happened – the only change that was made was adding a new post type.

I can access the page directly by visiting /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

I would be happy with a solution that manually adds the link back in (not necessarily finds the bad code). Is there a hook I can use (perhaps in a custom-functions.php file) that overrides whatever is removing the link?

Thanks in advance.

Unlike many here, I like the left-side admin nav bar, but since the latest version it stays collapsed – and I really want it to stay expanded, all the time. I don’t have time to hover over each one to see what’s there, as I’m still a sorta new user.

Is there a way to keep the admin panel navigation bar expanded all the time?

Thank you for your help!

I thought perhaps something had affected my capabilities. However, I’ve checked my usermeta table and it seems to be correct.
a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
Likewise there appears to be no attempted hacking.

I’m running no capabilities-oriented plugins and I’ve also turned off all plugins.

Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.0.1 didn’t do anything.

I am using the Flutter plugin — and I have created a number of write panels (some page write panels, some post write panels). And I will have several user groups, who I only want to have access to some of these write panels.

I’ve been trying the Role Scoper plugin and have had some success in restricting access to pages and posts — but it doesn’t remove access to the write panel itself (I’d like it to just not appear). It also still allows for the addition of write panel posts that should be restricted to a particular user. And then, with the regular old Posts and Pages navigation items, you still have access to all of the pages and posts. So this doesn’t solve it.

Has anyone successfully configured Flutter with another role manager plugin?

Also, I’ve seen some people say that Flutter is not being supported or moving forward — are people finding this to be true? And is there an alternative? I’ve also seen people saying the pod plugin is better, but I haven’t used it yet.

Thanks.

Often I check out the post once it’s published and realize that there’s a typo etc. This happens no matter how many times I proofread! In the version I’m using I need to go to “manage” and then select the post to edit it. Perhaps the new 2.5 navigation solves this, but I thought I’d throw it out there.
