Widgets page and plug ins add page not working, and displaying differently
Suddenly two of the pages have changed how they appear. Not the typical WP Admin/Dashboard appearance. Instead, they are showing as bullet points in a long list.
When I click on the links from this page to POSTS or PAGES or SETTINGS etc I can go back to the normal WP display for these pages.
However when I click on Widgets and the add in button for Plug Ins they do not function.
I have uploaded a completely new WP set of files via Go Daddy. (By completely disabling the old account). However the problem is still there.
This happened all of a sudden while I was in the Widgets section. It froze and then appeared like this.
Help!

did you just add a new plugin?
Switch to the default theme - still a problen? Then it is probably a plugin
Using FTP,
1) go in and move all your plugins to a new folder
2) visit your site
this will cause all plugins to deactivate
did the problem go away? If so:
3) move the plugins back into the theme folder
4) activate them one by one to see which one caused the problem

Hi
I don't have any plug ins yet. I was just setting up the style of the blog.
However I have just opened everything up on my office computer and the widget admin page is displaying properly.
So it is just a problem with my laptop....
I am pleased about that. BUT I am doing all of this work on my laptop so I need to be able to fix the way the widget admin page displays on my laptop. Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you

Trying to determine what is different between your laptop and desktop is beyond the scope of this forum. You should seek out a computer professional to review the two machines Something like this could be anything from the version of the operating systems, browser, amount of memory, version of Java, possible spyware or virus, plugins active with the browser etc, etc, etc

Thanks. I understand it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But it was working okay, and then suddenly stopped when I was setting up the Atahualpa theme.
Both computers are MACs using Safari.
Unfortunately these days nothing is supported by anyone (Apple, Wordpress etc). That is why I very much appreciate your help.
Do you think perhaps there is a firewall issue?
I am an advance beginner....Where should I begin doing my forensic backtracking to locate the problem.
Many thanks in advance
