  Clicking on elements within the WordPress admin site (the Edit button on columns, the Screen Options and Help dropdowns, even the ‘x’ to close notifications on top of the screen) does not do anything. I can’t get to the HTML for my columns or even get to the Help options. Clicking buttons for things like ‘Add Form’ still works.

  I have tried this on two different browsers over the past two days. Is anyone else having this issue?

  Howdy –

  I’ll be happy to try and help. What site are you working on? Please grab a screen shot of what you’re seeing. You can link it with your reply by using a third party like snag.gy or droplr. Otherwise, put it in the site’s media library where we can take a look. Thanks.

  Thank you! Here are screenshots of the page:

  

  

  My site is lagunacanyon.org. I’m just trying to expand one of the columns (second screenshot). Usually a box will pop up with the HTML, but I can’t get it to show.

  Hi there,

  I checked your site and it appears you’re in the wrong forum. Your site is using the open source WordPress.org software and you need to seek help at these forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org you can read this document:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Thanks!
