 * I have turned off all plugins and gone back to the default theme. But somewhere
   along the line – I’ve not made changes to the sidebars in about a month – I lost
   the right side of the Widgets Administration Panel:
    <img src=”[http://dragonflyeye.net/files/2012/10/Screen-Shot-2012-10-26-at-1.15.16-PM.png&#8221](http://dragonflyeye.net/files/2012/10/Screen-Shot-2012-10-26-at-1.15.16-PM.png&#8221);/
   >
 * No idea what caused this or how to fix it, especially given that I’ve eliminated
   the more obvious culprits? Even with my normal plugins running and my preferred
   template used, the front end works fine. I’m only prevented from doing this one
   thing. Weird!!

 * Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the Twenty Eleven folder to wp-content/themes
   using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides.

 * Then try:
 * – 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 PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

 * Using the latest version of Twenty Eleven downloaded and installed, I still have
   exactly the same problem. Any ideas?

 * From the screenshot you’ve missed a step.

 * Deactivate **all** of your plugins, confirm you’re using the Twenty Eleven theme,
   clear your browser cache and then see if those missing elements come back.

 * Arg!! Forgot the “must use” global plugins – this is an MU site.
 * Thanks kindly!

 * Looks like this problem for those who find this thread in the future, appears
   to have been the Google Analyticator plugin:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analyticator/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analyticator/)
 * I’ve started a thread there to notify them of the problem.
