Since the latest wordpress update there have been a few strange things happening on the back end of the site.
When adding a post/page/product etc, there are no category options, the publish & image buttons are missing and the layout is misconfigured.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
I tried other browsers and for some reason this issue is with google chrome only, even after resetting it and clearing cache/cookies etc. Good for now.
