Only Dashboard in Admin

Maybe try removing and reinstalling WordPress 2.0.2

I just upgraded to 2.0.2 as well, and have the same problem, even after re-installing!

This is a PAIN, so please help me fix it!

Must be some kind of permission issue, because when I use localhost or my usual ISPs everything works fine. However, when I upload (same ftp method) to the university server, I have no rights when it comes to permission setting.

Makes sense?

I too have had this same problem. Here’s the catch on my end: I have multiple instances of WP running under separate domains and subdomains on the same host with identical permissions on each account and all but one seem to work. The one that doesn’t work sometimes gives me the permissions errors and the rest of the time lets me login to the admin pages but once in the admin page doesn’t show me the bottons across the top (Dashboard, write, manage, links, etc.) though everything else looks as it should. If I then force it to show me one of the other admin pages (like going to /wp-admin/edit.php) I get the permission error.

I’ve reinstalled WP 2.02 and even reinstalled my system (thinking it was a problem with IE or with something else peripherally related). Incidentally the problem exists when attempting to login from other machines as well and when attempting to access it from ie6 or from ff1.5. Further, it exists on PC, Mac, and Linux. This seems to be WP related not system related. Thoughts? Thanks!

It seems I wasn’t searching using the right phrase. Hope this helps anyone who is having the same problem (with their blog or with searching for the answer).

I am having the same problem and the solutions in the linked thread didn’t fix it.

Ghacks, I tried your fix and not only did it not work, but now I’ve lost my ability to work in my profile as well. previously, I was able to see my dashboard and profile but now only the dashboard remains.

I’ve also tried the tweaked fix, and that didn’t work either.

I’ve also renamed my plugin folder, hoping that would help, but again, no go.

I also deleted my cache folder and re-upgraded.

I’m on version 2.0.3 and I was having this problem BEFORE upgrading. I upgraded hoping it would fix it.

What else can I try?

What worked for me in the end was to add this to wp-config.php

define(‘DISABLE_CACHE’, true);
set_magic_quotes_runtime(“0”);
ini_set(“magic_quotes_gpc”,”0″);
