Permalinks, Tags, Categories, Templates, and Featured Image Options Missing

    Hello everyone,

    I’m encountering an issue where several important options are missing when I open the WordPress editor. Specifically, I can only see the “Excerpt,” “Discussion,” and “Summary” options, while the options for permalinks, tags, categories, templates, and featured images are not visible.

    I have already taken the following steps to address this:

    1. Updated WordPress to the latest version.
    2. Deactivated all plugins.
    3. Temporarily switched to a default theme.

    Despite these efforts, the aforementioned options continue to be absent from the editor. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem or can offer guidance on how to restore these missing features? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Since when you have this issue?

    Did this happen after recent WordPress update?

    If so, you may try Manually updating. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the WordPress (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy up. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these) and delete then replace the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server (NOTE: do not delete the wp-content directory or your wp-config.php file). Read the Manual Update directions first.

    BACKUP: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups! See https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/wordpress-backups/`

    I’m relatively new to WordPress, having started today, so I can’t confirm if this issue occurred after a recent update. However, it’s good to know that this may be a potential cause.

    I appreciate the suggestion of manually updating WordPress. I’ll definitely give that a try.

    As for backups, thanks for the reminder. I’ll make sure to back up everything before attempting any actions.

    Regarding the issue itself, I’ve taken a screenshot to help illustrate what’s happening. You can view it here: Screenshot Link.

    Any further guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

    I’ve installed the classic editor plugin in the problem seems to be solved !
