 * I’ll break this out for ease of reading.
 * **OVERVIEW
    - Recently updated to 3.9
    - Plug-ins used: WooCommerce, WooTax, SEO by Yoost, and All-in-one-Rich-Snippets
 * **ISSUES**
    - All panels in admin went frozen
    - Admin menus cant be dragged to move
    - Collapsing admin menus and drop downs don’t work at all
    - Visual editor doesn’t work
    - JavaScript issue???
 * Basically, unless its a link or a text box already exposed when first going to
   the page, I don’t have access to it. There are NO moving parts in admin…
 * **\*Note\* The front end works fine.
 * **ATTEMPTS TO FIX
    1. Disabled all plug ins ==> Still broken
    2. Reverted to Twenty Fourteen theme ==> Still broken
 * I was going to manipulate some back end files, but I just did a complete reinstall
   of WordPress. No biggie, wasn’t that far along.
 * **RESULTS**
    No solution worked, until the reinstall. Everything worked okay 
   after that so I started rebuilding my site. That was last night. Everything was
   fine, but this morning nothing works again.
 * I had installed the same plug-ins and theme, but hadn’t configured them. Nada.
   It was just working last night, then back to not working this AM.
 * I’m about to **light my hair on fire**. Please help.

 * Did you by any chance look at Chrome error console when admin is broken?
    F12
   and then Console tab. That would definitely help you see if it’s a js issue, 
   which it may be. It would have red errors.
 * Also, BlueHost and few other EIG hosting properties have been having issues, 
   just FYI in case you’re on one of them.
