 * Hi
 * I have an installation of wordpress that was working just fine and indeed still
   is with the exception that the admin area has lost all formatting making it impossible
   to upload new plugins or really do anything.
 * Has anyone come across this before or have i done something accidentally?
 * Thanks in advance if anyone can help
 * Iain

 * Thanks
 * But the theme and front end is all perfect, just the admin area, and the plugins
   are all working still as they should – does that mean it has not been hacked?
   maybe a complete removal and reinstall is the answer

 * Perhaps you could start with providing the URL for the site in question.
 * Done any updates or installed any plugins/themes recently?
