# 'Reading' settings missing

 * I installed WordPress a few hours ago worked on the blog for a couple of hours.
   A while ago, I realized that half of the ‘Reading’ page in ‘Settings’ is missing.
   It was there when I installed because I worked on the page. I decided to remove
   the installation an tried to install it again. Again half of the page was not
   there. I have tried with new install three times but even with new install, half
   of the ‘Reading’ page of the “Settings’ is still missing!

 * 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 Twenty Eleven 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 – from 
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Thank you for your response.
 * 1)I switched to Twenty Eleven.
 * 2)I did not have any plugin installed because I had just installed WordPress 
   a few hours before when I noticed the problem.
 * 3)I re-installed WordPress twice after I noticed the problem but it did not improve.
 * 4)I did not reset the plugin folder because I had not installed any plugin
 * 5)I am a little confused when you say to re-upload all files and folders except
   the wp-content. I always install all my scripts using Softaculous.
 * I just removed the blog. Do not want to installed again after trying three times
   with the same result.
 * What could have caused this? 🙁

 * Update:
    Installed WordPress in two different domains and it also happened that
   half of the Reading Settings are missing? What could be happening?

 * One more question… I dropped the installation and have not installed any again
   but would like to know if this is something I should be concerned about? Does
   it put in danger the security of the site?

 * I think it suggests that there’s an issue with your hosts and that WordPress 
   is unlikely to run effectively (if at all) on this server.
