I am with you on the dashboard issues. i recently went for a HP laptop to a MacBook Pro. When I went to my blog https://www.listentometoday.com and logged into ADMIN, all of the dash board was gone except the administration to where I could change personal information, password, color etc. Nothing else is on the dashboard tool bar on the right. I have tried a number of frivolous attempts to get all back, but have not been able to ….I can not make a post, add plugins … nothing. Prior to switching to over to Apple, I could do any and everything. Any ideas?
