Answers.Text: Yes, although I might be doing the 'path' wrong. Should that be the same as the 'url' or where should that one start?

Body: <p>Since updating to WordPress 5.5, my CiviCRM dashboard is gone and the &quot;Configure Dashboard&quot; link does nothing. Also, all of my menu bars are gone. My data still seems to be there, but the top bar menus to access and manipulate them are gone. <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/Tp4Qq.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Tp4Qq.png" alt="" /></a>
  Is this a common issue, or has something gotten screwed up in translation?</p>

  Since updating to WordPress 5.5, my CiviCRM dashboard is gone and the "Configure Dashboard" link does nothing. Also, all of my menu bars are gone. My data still seems to be there, but the top bar menus to access and manipulate them are gone. [![](https://i.sstatic.net/Tp4Qq.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/Tp4Qq.png)
  Is this a common issue, or has something gotten screwed up in translation?

  Turns out it was because I added an SSL certificate to my site, and had to go in and change every "http://" to "https://" in the civicrm.settings.php file.
  Problem solved. Thank you for your help!
