# WordPress Dashboard Problem

 * My dashboard is not loading properly. I’m able to work with it to an extent but
   can’t get to the visual editor or post images. Here’s a screenshot: [http://obsessionfitness.com/wpscreen.jpg](http://obsessionfitness.com/wpscreen.jpg)
 * This is not a local computer or browser issue because my other WP sites are fine.
   It’s specific to [http://obsessionfitness.com](http://obsessionfitness.com)
 * I’ve been told it may be a CSS issue and I may need to reinstall a fresh copy
   of WordPress. I’ve downloaded the entire site and backed up my SQL database.
 * Do I now just download WordPress 2.9.1 and upload to my server? Will I risk overwriting
   the theme folder and contents?
 * Thanks for any advice.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related 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 FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress?
 * And no – as long as you stay clear of the wp-content folder – you shouldn’t overwrite
   any of your theme or plugin files.

 * I deactivated all plugins but it didn’t resolve the problem.
 * Then I “reinstalled automatically” WordPress even though I had the latest version.
   It completed successfully but showed this message:
 * Warning: gzuncompress(): data error in /home/content/o/f/s/ofsschone/html/wp-
   includes/http.php on line 1825
 * When I look at that file I see this from line 1818-1837 (1825 is blank):
 * function decompress( $compressed, $length = null ) {
    $decompressed = WP_Http_Encoding::
   compatible_gzinflate( $compressed );
 *  if ( false !== $decompressed )
    return $decompressed;
 *  $decompressed = gzuncompress( $compressed );
 *  if ( false !== $decompressed )
    return $decompressed;
 *  if ( function_exists(‘gzdecode’) ) {
    $decompressed = gzdecode( $compressed );
 *  if ( false !== $decompressed )
    return $decompressed; }
 *  return $compressed;
    }
 * Not sure if this is even the cause of my problem. Should I still reset plugins
   even though I was able to deactivate all through the dashboard?
 * Thanks.
