  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Looking at the request URL in your screenshot, that looks pretty squirelly.  I very much doubt thaat's the correct URL.

If so, try to fix any paths defined either in <strong>Administer » System Settings » Directories</strong> or in <code>civicrm.settings.php</code> to use the equivalent non-symlinked path.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>OK, I am not sure what is actually causing the problem, but I believe it is related to file and resource paths. The site that I installed CiviCRM on is a subdomain. I use that site as a Sandbox to test things before going to the main site. I installed CiviCRM on the main WP site at our domain and the menus appear fine. On the Sandbox site, since I can put the site into Development mode and the menus appear, I am not going to spend anymore time on getting to the root of the issue.</p>
