No Edit Links in Admin
-
I’m struggling with an issue where I can’t edit certain things like posts or pages in the WP Admin. I think it was related to a plugin (WP Statistics) and have reached out to their support. I’m baffled though because the normal edit links, etc are all gone and posts/pages are listed by Author and not Title. Any insight into fixing this is appreciated. I’ve tried turning off plugins and using a default theme but that doesn’t seem to have any effect.

Welcome in the club.
Few days ago I can’t edit or create new pages or posts for an editor error, and after more than a day spent with any kind of troubleshooting, I create another user and everything start to works fine again. Today after 2 days working only on pages and posts, again, same issue with lot of js errors.
Guess what? I created another user and it doesn’t has the issue…looks like a sickness that is killing administrator users.
No one will say us the truth about what this is happening, but someone needs do something…
Changing the screen options from Compact to Extended does nothing. Even the date column doesn’t have a date in it at the end. It’s like everything has shifted left and the title column is gone. I also tried in Firefox, and it does the same thing.
This seemed to happen after installing the WP Statistics plugin. I do see some errors related to that in the console although they don’t seem to be JavaScript errors. Disabling the plugin has no effect either. I’m hoping I don’t have to rebuild the site because of this. It literally just launched after I got it the way I wanted it. I am talking with the plugin developers though.
Ok – so I think you need to follow the default guide to troubleshooting..
Deactivate all plugins
Switch to a 20something theme and see if the problem persists.If it is still bad then suspect a broken WordPress install and replace all folder/files except your wp-content folder and wp-config.php. Your content is mostly in the database which hopefully is OK.
As usual BACKUP everything first.
If it does work OK after deactivation then activate your Theme then each plugin until the problem returns.
enable error logs and report the problem to the Theme or Plugin support

The reason I asked about Browser/javascript is that you can get problems with old browsers or missing js files. Javascript is used a lot by WordPress and this can give some unusual problems.
