SO I update the theme manually then install the required and plugins and follow the tutorial. when I apply the blank layout from the customiser, the dashboard is empty.
what to do?
Actually I want to ask about this portion.there is nothing in the left sidebar. there is no instructor control as well as other menu item.
here is the screenshot: http://prnt.sc/u4re9k
The account in which the screenshot is taken is an admin account.
This is what shown in the tutorial: http://prnt.sc/u4rfci
Well that is profile menu .that is coming from a menu .
Please goto wp-admin -> appearance -> menus -> select and edit profile menu .
