# Menu Editor not functioning properly

 * I have multiple sites running version 3.8.1 and I’m trying to modify the main
   navigation menu.
 * However, when I get to the menu editor page, the “arrow” that is supposed to 
   be to the right of the page isn’t present. As a result, I’m unable to modify 
   the link attributes, remove the link altogether, or make any changes to them.
 * This problem is occurring on at least 2 sites of mine that are running the 3.8.1.
 * Please help.

 * What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

 * I’m using the Pindol Theme. Got it from ThemeForest, I believe.

 * The same “error” occurs when I activate a Twenty13 or Twenty12 them, too- I’m
   not able to edit the menu items.
 * It appears as if there’s some sort of “line break” in the code that is causing
   it not to format properly or for the “clickable” page text (that releases the
   drop-down for editing) to be seen.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder and wp-
   config.php & root .htaccess files – from a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make
   sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new
   ones.

 * -I have no plugins active other than wordpress importer. Deactivated it and that
   wasn’t the problem.
 * -Switched to the default theme of “Twenty Fourteen” and the problem still persisted.
 * -I haven’t reset the plugins folder b/c I didn’t really download any plugins.
 * -AS soon as I get home, I’ll try to install a fresh version of WP 3.8.1.
 * -All of my sites running 3.8.1. are having this issues. My sites running 3.7 
   and below are fine.
