Hi @adabronowski You need to check your user role. If your user role have not permission of accessing Setting menu then you will not get that on left hand menu. Check this by doing login with admin user. Let me know if you need more help in this. Happy to help you.
what happens when you go to a direct URL e.g. https://your domain dot com/wp-admin/options-general.php
thank you!! this url worked! though it still doesn’t give me a path to where these option- general ‘live’ so to speak. I’ll save the link, but do you know how I could restore this tab for good?!
I’m the sole administrator of the website.
thanks so much though!!!
Something is removing or hiding (via CSS) settings tab.
This may be a plugin or theme conflict or feature or bug. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/health-check/
It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.ww.wp.xz.cn/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/
@alanfuller You are a marvel! thank you – I will do what you suggest and hopefully find the bug! thank you!!
