Have you tried disabling all plugins and switching to the default theme to see if either fixes the issue? If not, please do so. And how long have you been using WordPress? Is this problem new after an upgrade or have you always had it? More information will help narrow down the cause of the issue.

How familiar are you with phpMyAdmin? If you are not very familiar, you can ask your webhost to help you with the following:

1. Backup the MySQL database before making any changes – just in case.

2. Log in to phpMyAdmin, click on the database, and then click on wp_users. This will show you if anyone else has hijacked your admin role and if you are still listed as an admin. If you are, then there is another issue at hand.

3. If not, go to the wp_usermeta table. In it, there is a setting for your admin user’s privileges. You’ll find a field that contains something like “a:1:{s:6:”author”;b:1;}”, and you want to change it to be “a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}”. (not including the quotes).

How are you trying to add menu items? The update may have overwritten your modifications to code.

I would first try disabling all plugins to see if the items come back, then reactivating them one by one to see which one might be the source of the issue. Next, try switching to the default theme to see if the problem is theme-specific.

You will want to do the reverse of the directions here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Category_Templates#Excerpts_vs._Full_Posts

Rather than looking for the_content, you will look for the_excerpt, and then replace it with the_content.

I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/simple-lightbox so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

I would setup one multisite install for sure. Multisite uses a global users table by default, and allows you to run all sites off the same WordPress core files.

If you’d like even more control for universal login, perhaps try this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-multisite-sso/

There’s a lot of information and a list of resources here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Roles_and_Capabilities

You would need to change the permissions of the role. This can be done in a few different ways, but you may want to try this plugin for a simple solution: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-role-editor/

It could be a plugin or theme or theme issue. Here are a couple of steps to help you locate the issue:

Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress.

Can you provide your URL so someone can take a look at your site?

Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue.

To access the dashboard on the subdomain, it would be https://www.sandbox.mysite.org/wp-login.php. Please be sure that WordPress is installed on the subdomain first. Dreamhost should also be able to help you with that.

I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/ml-slider so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this. They will be able to troubleshoot more thoroughly.

You can see the info right on the image details screen. If you would like to see where the image is used before deleting it, try clicking on the image in your Media Library. That will bring up a box with details about the image, and if the image is used on a page/post, it will have Uploaded To: “Your Page.”

If you’d like an easier way to just delete those dup images, you could also try this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/image-cleanup.

To clarify, you want to remove the toolbar access? I.E. access to posts, pages, plugins, etc. Do you want to do this for ALL user roles, or just everyone except the admin?

For that, you can try using the following code in your (child) theme’s functions.php.

/* Disable the WordPress Admin Bar for all but admins. */
if (!current_user_can(‘administrator’)):
show_admin_bar(false);
endif;

Or, you might also want to try this plugin instead: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/remove-admin-bar-for-client/

Editing the data in the tables can help close out the errors.

Please be sure to backup your site and database first, just in case anything goes wrong.

Then go into your database (this will be in your hosting cPanel) using phpMyAdmin. Follow the instructions here to help your repair the tables.

If you are unable to do it manually, you can try installing a plugin to repair the database. WP-DBManager is a good one.
