Magento Admin Panel Missing or Broken - See Screenshots - magento

We were doing typical content edits and the admin panel had the regular functionality and styling.
When we finished and logged out and then in again....We got just a file tree...the links withing the tree just loop back to the original page when you click on them... There is no way to edit anything...Please Help!
Using Magento ver. 1.5.1.0
Thank you!

Did you enable CSS/JS minification recently? The default functionality to handle this can be dodgy if your settings aren't just right. My reasoning with this answer would be that it appears you aren't loading any CSS or JS correctly.
Try this:
SELECT * FROM core_config_data WHERE path LIKE '%merge%';
You should get two results. Try setting them to 0 if they are enabled, and then remove your /var/ folder to clear cache.
Further troubleshooting would include disabling modules if you had installed any recently. Barring that, take a gander at Firebug and look at which paths are being built to your CSS/JS files. That should give us a big clue.

Erase everything in /var/cache/ and /var/session/
Looks like you may have left the trailing slash off of your domain name in your Base URL. Go to System -> Configuration -> General -> Web -> Unsecure -> Base URL and make sure it ends with /. Repeat for Secure.

Check file permissions on the media and var directories. They need to be writable by the webserver user. You probably enabled merging of JS and CSS and apache can't write to media/css media/css_secure and/or media/js

Opencart 2 caching

Has opencart 2.1 a cache system apart from modification?
I'm trying to restyle an opencart 2.1 site.
I've modified catalog/view/theme/my-theme/template/product/product.tpl
but I'm not able to see my updates.
The site has only 1 modification that affects Admin area...I've also tried to disable it and update cache, but without success.
I've tried to open site in another browser, but nothing.
Finally I've tried to rename product.tpl to product111.tpl (also in view/theme/default/product)... but the original product page is still loaded.
Does someone know why this happens?
UPDATE : I haven't found a solution, so I made a fresh installation, applied custom theme and then copied modified files... everything is Ok now. If I modify product.tpl, all changes are visible in product page.
If you have vQmod installed there is a vqcache also.
You can check to see if you have vQmod installed like this:
yoursite.com/vqmod/install
It should usually clear itself, but if it doesn't then you can safely rename the vqcache folder to clear it.
The reason I say rename rather than delete is that sometimes a change to the cache will show an error which wasn't spotted when the original change was made and might prevent orders until it's fixed. If you rename then you can place the folder back and it will work again but of course you should fix the error when you can.

Pyro CMS - trying to move files/folders up a directory level

I did a Pyro test installation at mydomain.com/pyro, and now that I have the site configured, I wanted to move everything up to the root directory. It worked fine, except for when I leave off the "www" in my URL, so:
'www.mydomain.com' works fine, all of the navigational links point to the right pages
'mydomain.com' does not work, all of the navigational links still point to the '/pyro/' test directory
I can't find anything in the config files or the database to change this.
How can I fix this?
Have you tried clearing you page cache? Utilities > Maintenance then under Cache Maintenance
Have you checked the default_pages.uri and default_pages.slug columns in your database?

Fishpig's Magento WP Integration -- WP not using Magento Theme/Package

I've successfully installed Fishpig's Magento WordPress Integration extension. I followed the instructions where you install via Magento Connect and had no problems. This is by the way all on the development server which does not have Caching or Compiling enabled.
The Magento cart is installed in the webroot directory and WordPress is in subdirectory "wp" as stated in Fishpig's instructions. The Full Integration blog path is /blog.
PROBLEM:
When I visit the blog's page it is not using the Magento theme. I even set it to use the same layout (same as CMS's homepage) We have a custom Magento theme. Maybe there is something we are doing incorrectly Magento theme wise for Fishpig's extension not to work. Screenshots to come eventually but the host (DataGram) is down due to the flooding Downtown. Should be back hopefully today.
To clarify... WordPress is using its own database. In the Shop's admin panel->WordPress tab I setup Full Integration and set the path to "wp" and the blog path is blog.
So, now if I visit for example... example.com you are in the shop and if you visit example.com/blog you are in the fully integrated blog.
Bottom line is it seems to be configured fine in the admin panel. I am not requesting the blog page from the wp directory (I.E: example.com/wp) but from the fully integrated page (example.com/blog).
Our problem could be similar to what this person is experiencing:
Magento - FishPig Integration - Not getting correct template for /blog
Have a great weekend all!

Huzzah looks like I got things working :-)
The culprit was that this file:
"app/design/frontend/default/eboost/layout/wordpress.xml"
^^ was pointing to the wrong template filename. Corrected and was good to go. Modified line was number 66.
Funny thing is that on the top of that XML file it states:
"
Option 1 - local.xml (recommended)
Create a file named local.xml in your custom theme's layout folder. You can then make changes to the layout there by
using the relevant layout handle. This allows you to leave this file intact and recieve new features
when upgrading the extension.
Option 2 - copy this file
Copy this file and it's contents to a new file in your custom theme's layout folder named wordpress.xml.
Each time you upgrade, you will need to check with your copy of the file and
the copy in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/wordpress.xml for changes and merge any you find"
Now, as stated in my Original Posting I installed FishPig extension using their instructions: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/installation-and-configuration.html
^^ Therefore I don't know why it is setup using Option 2. That wordpress.xml is in our theme's layout directory.

I feel I should also state the other changes I did even though it doesn't seem like it contributed to making it work. Just doing for completeness:
-- Renamed the subdirectory /wp to /wordpress and changed all references to dev.eboost.com/wp to dev.eboost.com/wordpress within the DataBase using http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
-- Removed .htaccess from /wordpress folder
So bottom line is looks like it is working normally. We are now set for working on redesign for site.

Have a look at this.

I also used Fishpig and it is working.
What do you mean by visiting the blog page? Do you request the blog page from the wordpress directory?
If so, it doesn't change its design.
You have to request the blog within your shop.

Trouble Translating Magento

I'm developing a shopping site using Magento, but I'm since the site needs to be for spanish-speaking people, I need to translate the site into spanish. I downloaded some .csv files to make the translation but they're not working. I've even tried to make changes on the english .csv files, changing the statements to spanish but it's still not working. Any ideas of how to make this issue work?
Thanks in advance!
Make sure, that your csv files are located in selected locale (i think /app/locale/es_ES) and this locale is selected in admin for your StoreView (System -> Configuration -> General -> Locale options)
Clear cache after changing csv files
Just found it, you need to go to system > configuration > developer > translate inline, there yoou have to eneable the changes in the backend or in the front end and thats it. Its a really hard way to get it going, but it works. Any other suggestion is welcome.

Remove a magento theme - Rollback to default

This is my first time working with Magento and here is what happend: I spent two days reading the documentation and tweaking the settings to fit my needs. I then installed this theme:
http://themeforest.net/item/decostore-magento-theme/1876494?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=8theme
The problem is that the theme didn't work the way I was expecting and now I'd like to rollback to the default theme and completely remove everything added by this theme to my installation.
Unfortunately, I didn't backup the installation and database before I installed the new theme and I have no idea where to start.
Thanks in advance.
1. Switching back to default theme
Go to the admin area and then system > configuration > design
Change "Current Package Name" to 'default' and make sure all inputs under the "Themes" section are empty. This will return you to the default theme.
2. Completely remove everything added by this theme
I take it from your question that you are not using any form of source control. Might be an idea to look into this for the future :)
Magento 1.7 has introduced backup and rollback features so you may also want to check that out.
If this is the case, backup everything before you start removing files and directories as described below
Anyway, to completely remove all files and directories added when you installed the module, unfortunately it will simply be a case of manually finding the files and directories deleting.
The easiest way to do this will be to find the original source code you received when you purchased the theme and removing the corresponding files from your site. When removing directories be careful to only remove those specific to the theme - It will have been sent to you structured so that you can easily drag straight in to your web root - so will contain some other directories required by Magento, simply to give it the correct hierarchy.
At the very least there will be files and folders specific to the theme located in the following directories:
app/design/frontend
skin/frontend
js
and also most likely some more in the following:
app/etc/modules
app/design/adminhtml
app/locale
I know the result for this can be different for everyone, but in case someone else comes across my specific case, it was the N98 folder under app/code/community/N98 that caused the problem. Particularly their CustomerGroupCheckout plugin as shown here: https://github.com/amenk/N98_CustomerGroupCheckout
Removing the N98 folder brought back the configuration page.
