 * I just upgraded to WP 3.2.1 and the main Admin menu usually down the left hand
   side column is completely missing. That is I no longer have the Posts, Pages,
   Settings, Plugins etc menu visible. Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Some plugins have been known to cause that problem. Please review [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-32-master-list](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-32-master-list)

 * I got a similar problem when I upgraded to WordPress 3.3.1 from 3.0.x. The cause
   of it was that I once had a Russian version of WordPress 3.0.x installed. Then
   I switched back to the English version, but the language setting in **wordpress/
   wp-config.php** was Russian (there was the line `define('WPLANG', 'ru_RU');`)
   and there were old Russian localization files in **wordpress/wp-content/languages**
   that were not upgraded. I could solve the problem either by setting `define('
   WPLANG', '');` or by removing the **wordpress/wp-content/languages** catalog.

 * Thanks, onpopov! I’ve overcame the bug rooting in language localization just 
   as you sad. (Trouble appeared after upgrading 3.0.1 -> 3.2.2)

 * I need to past in an API Token and it says to do it on the admin. Where is that?
   Thanks.
