 * That’s where it’s missing from (See title of my post). If it is happening to 
   me I’m sure it is happening to someone else.

 * Site is: [http://flexsalonconcept.com](http://flexsalonconcept.com)
 * Not sure that will help much because the missing menu function is on the dashboard…

 * I’m aware of that. 🙂 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.

 * I’m having the same problem. Has anyone resolved this issue?
 * **Problem:**
    /wp-admin > Appearance > Menus > original custom menu I created
   is missing, however the menu structure is still in place.
 * **Diagnostics so far:**
    ~ deactivated all plugins one by one first. ~ switched
   to Twenty Twelve theme, problem still exists. ~ reset plugins folder via FTP.
   ~ tried to find custom menu name in MySQL. ~ searched for too long until I found
   this post.
 * I could try and add another custom menu, but since the original is still showing
   on the public side of the site, I’m thinking I’m going to do more harm.

 * I am also having this problem on one of client’s site. I have uninstalled, upgraded
   and reinstalled plugins and I have switched to the twenty-ten template. No luck
   with any of it.

 * Wow….just had a look at how old this thread is. Not very encouraging. 🙁

 * Hi dragonflyfla,
 * My solution was to simply duplicate the menu. The original menu is gone, although
   it still may be showing on the site. Anyway, I just duplicated the menu and it
   checked that all the links were correct and it worked fine.
 * Good luck.

 * Thanks Mark. We finally got it back. A couple of plugins were friendly with the
   new wordpress upgrades.
