My 'Menus' section (under 'Appearance) is 'locked'

  • I have set up a custom menu for my website and everything was working well. Ever since I started publishing some pages and articles, my ‘menus’ section (in the Appearance tab) is no longer accessible.

    My IE browser indicates this error in the status bar:

    Also, there’s an article I can’t edit anymore because when I click on the ‘edit’ link, my page stops loading at the editor. Plus, the ‘Visual’ and ‘HTML’ tabs are not clickable.

    I’m freaking out. I tried re-installing the wp-includes and wp-admin folders and nothing works.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I swtiched back to the Twenty Ten theme and everything works back again. This is too weird… How can one theme corrupt all those sections? (From time to time, I use to get a 500 error too)

    Guess I’ll have to look for another theme.

    How can one theme corrupt all those sections?

    Themes can (and sometimes do) affect the Admin area.

    But… I don’t get it. Shouldn’t they be testing them before?

    That’s something you’d need to ask the theme’s developer. Only newer themes from the www.ads-software.com Theme Repository undergo an independent review/testing process.
