My word press admin area looks like the image linked below. I have tried reinstalling word press using the option in the Updates panel. But I cannot get it to revert. Has anybody had a similar problem and knows the solution?

My guess is that it's css but shouldn't have reinstalling WP sorted that out?

Need more rep to include this image in the post

Have you tried disabling all your plugins? Changing themes? – m0r7if3r Feb 1 '12 at 23:40

In your screenshot I can see at least 3 menu items that were added by a plugin.

Standard practice when WP breaks after an update is to:

  1. Disable all plugins (You can rename the /wp-content/plugins directory to turn them all off at once).
  2. Revert to the default (TwentyEleven) theme

Then you can re-enable your plugins one at a time to figure out which one it is that's breaking things.

I just did all the above but it didn't work. Oddly enough however the Appearance tab looked as expected. – Joshua Feb 2 '12 at 0:13
Randomly tried to do that again and it worked oddly enough. – Joshua Feb 7 '12 at 2:15
