Good afternoon,
I couldn’t do an update via the dashboard, so I had to go through Digital Ocean, which had no issues. However, after clearing my data on Chrome, I’m now stuck with this and cannot access anything.
I’ve done Discourse Doctor, but nothing happens, the same with [Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true).

Could you try a second `/launcher rebuild app`. That can often kick things into shape.

Unfortunately, I’ve already done this. As a normal end user, I have everything, but on my admin user, I don’t have what I’ve shown above.

Forgive me, this is a new way. However, after adding the email to my admin account and receiving the email to prompt me to log in, this unfortunately doesn’t make a difference.

oh so this is the view after you log in - sorry, I misunderstood that you couldn’t access your admin log-in at all. 🤔

Ah, so just the admin user. There’s not really enough detail in the screenshots of your logs to pick out what could be the issue, but if you refresh the admin page and then expand the latest error or two you see in the logs that may help narrow it down.
Also, if you have any non-official plugins could you list them in case they may have some known issues?

Can you have a look in your browser console for an error when you load one of the problem pages?
It seems very similar to a cloudflare auto minify issue from a couple of months back.
Ah yes, this:

You are amazing! I’m not sure how these even come on, as this has been the rule since I’ve been using Discourse in 2021! I haven’t even logged in for over two years.
But this has been solved; I see everything now! It is very strange that it didn’t do the same on a trust level of 3, but as an admin, everything was gone on the sidebar…
