  I hadn’t accessed my blog(s) in about a week, but when I did today, the admin functions (and pages) are all screwy: I cannot edit my pages, the admin dashboard looks like a directory page, and functions for the admin bar appear like test links at the bottom of the page. I noticed this same index page “look” for a friend’s webpage. Also, the share buttons are gone, and the “Like” function is forever loading. Any suggestions?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache:

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening then

  (a) let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

  (b) post screenshot, upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.

  Thanks for your quick reply.
  Once I realized that my blog—and admin functions—were working with Chrome, I figured there was something amiss with me accessing my (and other) WordPress blog with IE9.
  I had had my Tracking Protection “on”; and once I turned it off, then I was able to access Admin functions—and my blog “looked” like it did a week or so ago.
