Admin dashboard broken does not display properly

    Hi,

    Not sure if this is the correct board but I have a problem with my admin dashboard.

    First off, the site was running absolutely fine, then I started getting 500 errors and http errors when I was uploading anything, from plugins, to images. So I was fucking around until eventually I raged, deleted the SQL database and wordpress, thinking I can start from the beginning.

    I now have a vanilla wordpress sitting on a completely new database with no themes or plugins running.

    When I login my dashboard looks like this: https://imgur.com/q1oXchH

    And this is my website: https://artsydesign.co.uk/

    I tried it on different browsers and different computers, cleared the cache about a million times and deleted and re-uploaded files through ftp. Still no luck.

    The front end site looks like it should though, so that’s nice.

    Cheers,

    A.

  • Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the root wp-config.php & .htaccess files and the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    If that doesn’t work, try adding define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line). My guess is that this is a server issue and that’s what was causing your problems in the earlier install. For example, on some hosting environments, aggressive settings for the “mod_pagespeed” addon can break the javascript code and cause scripts to not be able to function. This can cause many problems, such as widgets not working, menus not being draggable, the customizer not working, or the media screens not being available.

    To fix the issue, you’d need to disable mod_pagespeed, or adjust its settings to not take effect in the wp-admin directories. You may need to ask your hosting service for help on how to do this.

    Hi and thanks for replying! Adding the definition to the php file did nothing useful. I have an options bar on top of my screen now, but that’s about it. The page looks as it did before.

    I e-mailed my hosting provider and asked about the pagespeed addon. Will await reply and post here if anything changes.

    Also, any idea why it was working perfectly before and even though it’s back to vanilla now it’s all broken just because it’s a second install.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    This topic can now be closed. For no reason at all the admin dashboard is back to normal. For anyone looking at this topic in the future, I think the host providers switched off the pagespeed addon on the server once I e-mailed them. Or magic. Magic can be a good indication of what had happened.

    Thanks Esmi!

    Glad to hear that you managed to get this sorted. ??
