admin – left column – plugins
That doesn’t manage plugins for me. The only thing that does is offer new ones. I’m getting very frustrated with this. I’ve practically begged for help and all I’m getting is the run-around. We can’t manage our own site.
admin – plugins
installed
new
editor
akismet configuration
as you can see that’s not all it does
I’ve practically begged for help and all I’m getting is the run-around
I’m not trying to help? I’m giving you the runaround? You jumped in this thread that someone else started. Why don’t you familiarize yourself with the product instead of wanting your hand held for everything?
To manage plug-ins is the same as it has been.
Some are under Settings..
Others are under Tools…
Others are on the bottom the the Left Hand Menu.
If you don’t see ‘Installed’ under the Plugins menu option, then maybe your user doesn’t have the ‘install_plugins’ capability. Try to create a new user with the Admin role and see if that user can see the Administration > Plugins > Installed SubPanel.
There is no subpanel and I am the site administrator, full capability. I am the webmaster. NONE of that is available.
Samboll, in response to your snarky comments, what I would like is my site back to MY site.
Michael, I have lost the ability to modify user roles as well. Virtually all capabilities are gone.
ok Mr. attitude – I have not been snarky and have tried honestly to help – what is your problem?
You are in enough threads with this “problem” and have received numerous attempts at help – what do you really want?
do a rollback then – i gave the link in one of your other bad attitude threads
My attitude was fine until everything I try doesn’t work. For a moderator I think you have the bad attitude. I just want my site fixed.
The link you provided shows primarily risks of ruining the entire site if I try it. That’s my choice?
so you don’t have any database backups?
figures
Yes, I do. Who do I email to complain about you?
Skratman – Everyone here is a volunteer so there really isn’t someone to email.
Now with that said, I wonder if you shouldn’t restore your backups (both database and files) from before the 2.7 upgrade and then reconsider your upgrade strategy.
You might also consider posting a “New Job Request” [1] to have a professional work with you, or consider joining and soliciting professional assistance from the wp-pro mailing list [2].

I uninstalled plugins and continued uninstalling plugins (5 total of 10) and finally I get the side menu bar that everyone has been talking about. Now it actually works.
Great. Many of the problems in 2.7 have been with Plugins, and the advice, in Upgrading WordPress, to disable ALL Plugins before attempting the upgrade, seems to be appropriate.
Hopefully disabling all Plugins will solve the problem for the original poster, ricong.
@ricong, I’ll mark this resolved for now and if you’ve still got a problem mark it as unresolved.
I had the exact same problem Skratman and it was stressing me out as I was in the middle of a major site reconstruction from the inside.
And hey “moderators with the attitude they should be checking at the Support Forum doors? Here’s a news flash that will help you with the panic. If someone tells you they can’t do anything and they can’t find anything, the UI is probably broken from plugins.
I’ve never had a problem installing a new WP roll out,plugins usually don’t break stuff for me. One thing is that I upgrade via my web host (Dreamhost) and they re-install the new versions server side. I had no clue this was some major new interface roll out, so this was a shock. Especially when I couldn’t find things like ‘Edit pages” and “plugins” let alone my theme editor, which is what I was working on before the upgrade.
Understand that the installation advice in “Upgrading WordPress” is something I haven’t read since version 1.1 or whatever and I am quite sure I’m not alone.
So in case others are reading and pissed with the ‘tude they’re getting (I find it really annoying and I’m pretty savvy, I actually came here to see if plugins were breaking things and I needed to do something about that, but wanted to check before I did anything new),,,, Here’s some user advice:
If you can’t go back or perhaps don’t know how to go back to an older version for some reason, just go and remove your plugins from the wp plugins folder. You know, the one where you put the plugins you download, etc. Now, restart the process of looking at the admin menus – they will be completely different and your breathing will return to normal.
For the record – the OZH admin drop down from before 2.7 is one of the biggest culprits. They’ve updated to 2.7 which is great, but it’s what hosed me this time.
hth, hand.
I had the same problem – the submenu wasn’t appearing, but I remembered on another site that I upgraded to 2.6, my advanced admin plugin was blocking the admin tool bar.
