If you used an automated install of wordpress with GoDaddy, you may want to manually re-install. Clear or start a new DB, grab the core files again, and migrate posts and customizations over.

Unfortunately without logins to your site and access to your CPanel or hosting environment, it’s a limited visibility … and obviously I don’t want that level of access to your systems ??

Good luck sir – hope someone jumps in here and gives you some more ideas.

I’ve seen this fix work a few times (admittedly it’s an intermittent success rate)

Access your site via GoDaddy File Manager, or via FTP

Open up the file wp-config.php

Locate the following commented out line
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Directly above that, paste this and save

define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );

Clear your cache after, and see if that does the trick

One last thing (as I keep researching) … have you checked the user settings?

Users ->
Edit
Check and make sure the “Disable the visual editor when writing” box isn’t checked.

Have you tried switching to the default theme to ensure the Hueman theme you currently have activated isn’t conflicting?

@riggiboy, which godaddy hosting package are you on? Free or a paid one?

Good starting point here…

I would suggest hiring a freelancer. It isn’t too much heavy lifting so the contract total should be relatively inexpensive.

Can you go into some more detail regarding how you uploaded the files. It sounds like you developed it locally, and then went to push it to a host environment?

If you can delineate the steps you took and where it broke, that could help point out a culprit and next steps.

Hey there – try this thread. Have a funny feeling you aren’t under the public folder within your hosting environment.

Very interesting but great to know. Thanks Niccolo!!

I’ve found a happy medium by utilizing the “share” functionality – where you don’t have to confirm if you’re previously logged in / session history has you cache’d.
