After installing and later deleting a meta-tag/SEO plugin, my WordPress back-end refuses to return to normal. The overall layout is now different, affecting the Dashboard, the Post editor, and the Page editor screens. Buttons, panels, and even the TinyMCE blocks are sitting in the wrong spots, so productivity has nosedived. I need someone to dive into the core files, theme functions, database entries, and any lingering plugin hooks to restore the admin area to the default WordPress layout—no custom tweaks, just factory-fresh. I have already disabled and deleted the suspect plugin, cleared caches, and tried safe-mode logins without success, so the issue sits deeper than a simple toggle. Please trace and remove whatever callbacks, filters, or enqueue scripts are still hijacking these admin pages, confirm everything is routed through the standard /wp-admin/ templates, and leave me with a clean, conflict-free install. Deliverables: • Cleaned and restored Dashboard, Post editor, and Page editor screens • Short report on what was altered and how it was fixed • Guidance on preventing similar issues in future I can grant full cPanel and wp-admin access immediately so you can begin inspecting [login to view URL], plugin residues, or rogue database rows. Quick turnaround appreciated—once the default layout appears and works flawlessly, we’re done.

Since you've already deleted the plugin, cleared caches, and tried safe-mode without luck, the culprit is almost certainly residue the plugin left behind—orphaned rows in wp_options or wp_usermeta (like leftover user-preference or screen-layout data), or a hook still firing from theme functions—and that's exactly what I'll trace out. I'll take a full backup first, then inspect the database for the plugin's leftover option and meta entries, check [login to view URL] and any mu-plugins for lingering admin_enqueue_scripts, filters, or callbacks hijacking the Dashboard and editors, and confirm no rogue CSS/JS is being loaded into /wp-admin/. Once I remove the offending residue, the screens will route through the standard WordPress templates again—factory-fresh, no custom tweaks. You'll get a short report on what was altered and prevention tips. I can start right away.

Hello, I can help restore your WordPress admin to its original, default state. I've resolved similar issues where removed plugins left behind hooks, database entries, injected scripts, or theme modifications that continued affecting the Dashboard, Post Editor, and Page Editor. From your description, this appears to be more than a simple plugin conflict, and I'll perform a thorough investigation to identify the root cause. My approach includes reviewing theme functions, mu-plugins, plugin residues, database options, admin hooks/filters, enqueue scripts, and core file integrity to ensure `/wp-admin` loads exactly as intended. I'll also verify the block editor/TinyMCE behavior, remove any leftover modifications, and provide a concise report explaining the issue, the fix, and recommendations to prevent it from happening again. A few questions: * Which SEO/meta-tag plugin was installed before the issue started? * Is the site using a custom theme or a page builder? * Have any core WordPress files been modified previously? I'm available to start immediately with cPanel and wp-admin access and aim for a quick turnaround. Similar work portfolios link: https://www.freelancer.in/u/clientsfirstIT kind regards, Sunil K.
