# Write Post area does not display correctly

 * I have a few WP 2.0 installations but problems with only one.
 * In the Write Post area of the faulty blog, nothing appears below the post composition
   input box. The upload, Optional Excerpt, trackback, custom field and ‘WordPress
   bookmarklet’ areas do not appear.
 * Also, the + or – symbols do not appear in the ‘Discussion,’ ‘Password Protect
   Post’ or other buttons in the right-hand sidebar.
 * In the blogs which are working, the cursor turns into a 4-pointed cross when 
   mouseovering the radio buttons. It does not do so on the faulty page.
 * I found when comparing the ‘view source’ view of a working edit page vs. the 
   problem page that the code in the faulty one is truncated.
 * I have tried renaming my existing wp-admin folder as old_wp_wdmin and re-uploaded
   all the files in wp-admin. No change.
 * Please help; I don’t speak php very well.
 * thanks 🙂

 * koeln, the problem is only visible in the ‘Write Post’ section; you’d have to
   be logged in as admin to see it.
 * The code which appears in ‘view source’ for the faulty blog’s post.php is copied
   into TXT here:

 * The source for a working installation looks like this:
 * [http://machinegunkeyboard.com/shao_post_viewsource.txt](http://machinegunkeyboard.com/shao_post_viewsource.txt)
 * Thanks for your reply 🙂
