Magento 2.3: Buttons in Admin Menu are inactive (not clickable) after fresh install

[Lazar74]

I installed Magento 2.3 (with demo content) successfully using Installatron in cPanel. But the buttons in Admin menu don't work (not clickable). My server settings meets Magento 2 requirements (php 7.1).

Prior to 2.3 version, I installed Magento 1.9.4 at the same server and everything worked good including admin dashboard.

I have tried few solutions that I found on this forum and some other but it didn't help. What I tried is: I removed var/cache folder and executed the command below through CLI but nothing changed:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Thank you in advance!

@Lazar74  You must try below commands in provided sequence. If that does not work then you must check in different browser as well as look for any error you are seeing in browser console.

sudo rm -Rf pub/static/frontend/* var/pre_processed/* pub/static/_requirejs/*
sudo rm -Rf var/generation/* var/di/* var/cache/*
sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade
sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile
sudo php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
sudo php bin/magento cache:clean
sudo php bin/magento cache:flush
sudo chmod -R 777 var/ pub/ generated/

Never do this as previously suggested unless you want all your website files to be writable by anyone:

sudo chmod -R 777 var/ pub/ generated/
