HI Esmi,

Firstly thank you for you advice.

I have undertaken all 3 actions – but the dashboard is still acting the same way;

While I can add a new post, I cannot add links to the post, remove an old post, or tweak elements of the web site that were standard actions previously.

All the tools are visible, but when I click on the tools such as:
– Posts>status>edit (the page does not give the option of changing a post from published to draft)
– dashboard>help (no response)
– while editing a post, I can only view the text as “text” and not “visual”. Although the visual tool is available to be clicked on.
– appearance>customise (no options on new loaded page to allow customisation)

I have now deleted all plug-ins, except a linkedIn one.

Anyone, any other suggestions???

Thanks for your previous comments.

I am now resigned to undertaking your 3rd item of advice:

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

Is there a step by step guide or video of how to do this available, for a novice? I have not tried this before and do not want to create even bigger problems for myself…

Thanks. Where do I find the default theme?

Topic resolved.

I’ll check the plug in name and revert with it.

Jesin, Thanks a million! That found the hack, in one of the plug ins which is now deleted.

I really appreciate you help!
