Links not working since updating

  • ceconn.com

    This is weird. since updating, a lot of the links in the Dashboard page don’t work. For example, Settings. Only the general tab works – the others don’t even show up. Also, I can’t access Forum by clicking Help.

    Also, I would have done a search for my particular problem but the search bar does not show up.

    Any ideas?

  • Can you post some example urls? Links to pages that contain these “broken” links?

    Well, this is inside wordpress. you know how have the various settings on the left of the page https://www.ceconn.com/wp-admin/options-general.php. General is the only one that shows up – not Comments, or reading or writing. None of those.

    Should I install wordpress again?

    So you only have access to Settings -> General, yes?

    yes

    Re-install WordPress and do not import your old db initially.

    I don’t mind reinstalling WordPress but I’m not deleting the database. that would put me back a week again.

    I don’t know if you remember me from the other forum but I’m the one whose website was hacked. Endless problems getting it back again. My ISP wiped my site and gave me a clean site but changed all the credentials. Of course, when I imported my database from the backup, the credentials were different. I made the adjustements in config.php and got my page up again. I’m having other issues as well but want to deal with one issue at a time.

    I’m the one whose website was hacked

    Yes – I know. That’s why we need to rule out the old db as the source of your current problems. Set up a fresh db and install WP using that.

    First of all, I just reinstalled wordpress. Same problem.

    I don’t understand. If I don’t import my old database, all my posts and everything will be gone. Won’t it? I mean

    Did you use a new database?

    The database contains posts and pictures and everything, right?

    I had to import my old database, didn’t I? Had I created a brand new one, there’d be nothing in it.

    When you install WordPress, it pre-populates the empty database with a little content. Enough to determine whether the issue is in your db import.

    Are you talking about hello world etc?

    Yes.

    Yes, I saw that. Then I imported my backed up database

    And now you don’t have access to the full Admin menus – which is why you need to reinstall WordPress to a new database and not import your database until the situation has been re-assessed post-install.
