Title: Admin sidebar missing most tabs Last modified: March 27, 2018 --- # Admin sidebar missing most tabs * [jamesmccathren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesmccathren/) * (@jamesmccathren) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-sidebar-missing-most-tabs/) * Admin sidebar only shows tabs for dashboard, posts, comments, profile, and tools. 2017 child theme. Site is working normally and all admin functions were available at last edit about 4 months ago. I need to make some changes but there is no appearance tab, pages tab, etc. – only shows those listed above so I can’t disable plug-ins, change themes, etc. How do I get all the admin tabs back? I’m really stuck as is. Thanks in advance! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadmin-sidebar-missing-most-tabs%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-sidebar-missing-most-tabs/#post-10177351) * Which role is your account under, do you know?
