# Missing Header and Nav

 * I am working for a company and they have an active site and a test site.
 * The test site is [http://tinyurl.com/z7avpcc](http://tinyurl.com/z7avpcc) and
   the active site is [http://tinyurl.com/jpewns6](http://tinyurl.com/jpewns6).
 * The test site is missing the nav and header. A developer at the company said 
   it was something with jquery, either it’s old or has a problem. Not sure if that’s
   true or not.
 * This is a list of their Active Plugins, which are Up to Date:
 * Akismet
    Contact Form 7 Duplicate Post Duplicator Embedly Force Regenerate Thumbnails
   IE Enhancer and Modernizer Limit Login Attempts Slider Revolution Velvet Blues
   Update URLs
 * Active Plugins – Not Up to Date:
 * ManageWP – Worker (Version 4.1.33, Version 4.2.2 avail)
    Sucuri Security – Auditing,
   Malware Scanner and Hardening (Version 1.7.17, version 1.8.1 avail) UpdraftPlus–
   Backup/Restore (Version 1.12.13, version 1.12.17 avail) WPBakery Visual Composer(
   Version 4.5.3, version 4.12 avail)
 * I don’t have access to their host, godaddy, so I am careful not to update or 
   turn anything off just yet.
 * What would be the best way to go about fixing this?

 * 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](https://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.

 * thanks for the suggestions. Here’s what I’ve done:
 * – deactivated all plugins.
 * – switched to the 2015 theme.
 * In both cases, it was still the same.
 * This site was recently created by a (supposedly) professional agency. I’ve since
   come on board to help, and do not have FTP or PhpMyAdmin access.
 * I’ve looked in the Editor, all the files are there as well, aren’t they?
 * I’ve created a copy with Duplicator, and am trying to deploy it on another server,
   but I am having trouble – staying on it though.
 * Is there anything else I can do without having FTP or PhpMyAdmin access?

 * checking out firefox, right click inspect element
 * It might be a JavaScript problem, since there is <html class=”no-js” which I 
   think is created by modernizer. I have js enabled on Firefox,
 * There is also an error in “Failure at Presize of Slider:ReferenceError: jQuery
   is not defined”
 * I wonder if jQuery is loading first, before all the other library’s that seem
   to be using jQuery.

 * Thanks all. I ended up switching the main site to wpengine and everything worked
   out, as they have their own replicating site feature.
