  Today I am missing my pages, media, appearance, links, users and settings tabs from my dashboard. You can view all of these things on the blog but I cannot edit or add from the dashboard, they are totally gone. Any ideas? Thanks!

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

  They are really gone? No icons, nothing?
  If there are icons do this:

  If there aren’t any icons please post a screenshot.

  I have the same problem. WordPress site worked fine for a couple of years through several successful upgrades. Then, while I wasn’t looking, a bunch of links disappeared from my dashboard. No appearance, no links to widgets, etc. Moreover, I can’t paste HTML (for Google Adsense) since when I “save” it, it disappears.

  Nor can I reach these missing links through a URL. They show up in the WP folders, but I can’t reach them.

  It isn’t allowed for wp.COM users to place adds on their blogs anyway…
  Please give us a link to your blog?

  @cwetherall, you need to inquire about self-hosted blogs over at http://wordpress.ORG/support/ which is where self-hosted wordpress blogs are supported.

  Lora – thanks, I tried the link but that wasn’t it. I can’t figure out how to post a screenshot…but yes, my tabs on the left side of my dashboard are gone…I only have posts, comments and polls listed.

  thanks for the help.

  @welovemarathons, are you signed in as an administrator for the blog or are you set up as just an author or contributor?

  No need to feel bad, things like that happen to everyone at one point or another, and you are welcome.
