 * Help! I just started using WordPress tonight & almost immediately ran into trouble;
   after a lot of Googling, clearing catches (both WordPress & several browsers),
   I finally ran across a problem that sounded similar to mine ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/appearance-on-admin-page-no-functionality](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/appearance-on-admin-page-no-functionality)).
   I read through, having already tried the early suggestions I went straight to
   this link: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors)
   
   After getting the FTP up & working (a confusing mess in its self) I added the
   given script to wp-config.php, refreshed my wp-admin.php, and got this message
   back — Fatal error: Call to undefined function nocache_headers() in /home/content/
   a2pnexwpnas04_data01/88/3482888/html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 33
 * JavaScript is not my strong point & at this point I am completely lost on how
   to fix the problem. What do I do? Thanks!

 * For some reason I can’t get the wp-config.php without the script debugging line
   to upload to the server now.

 * I’ve tried to upload my local version of wp-config.php again & keeping getting‘
   Error: Network error: Software caused connection abort’ back. I’ve also noticed
   that the current server wp-config is totally blank — could that be part of the
   problem?

 * Never mind, my host customer service suggested resetting the site. That worked,
   thanks anyway.
