 * In wp-admin, all actions related to jQuery are broken, use F12 see that load-
   scripts.php didnt load the jQuery code, I tried to disable all plugins and changed
   to the default theme, even reinstalled wp4.8.2, but it made no use. How could
   I fix it?
    some pics in wp-admin ⌊捕获5.PNG⌉ compare my site to my friend’s my
   friend’s⌊捕获7.PNG⌉ mime ⌊捕获6.PNG⌉ obviously they are different, but how to
   fix it?

 * Try adding `define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);` to your wp-config.php file
   just below the `define('DB_HOST'` line.
 * To do so, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting
   provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and edit the file with a [plain text editor](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files#Text_Editors).

 * Thanks James, I’ve had this problem as well and I’ve spent more than a day trying
   to figure out why my fresh installation of WordPress (4.9.5) was unable to load
   jQuery on some pages. (No plugins installed, brand new installation). I finally
   found this thread and your response which solved my problem.
 * Symptoms for me was functionality on the menu page was missing. I could not drag
   and drop to re-arrange menus. On the console I was seeing the same errors [@jiaochenze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jiaochenze/)
   was experiencing.
 * Anyway, thank you! This was cause of much frustration for me. Glad to have this
   solved.

 * Thanks James Huff, the define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); worked a treat!
