Can't click Preference tabs (other than User profile) + 'Edit' no longer works; only 'Edit source'.

After updating to the latest version of MediaWiki (1.42.1), I can no longer click any Preference tabs (other than User profile). I can't click (and go to) any of these tabs: Appearance, Editing, Recent changes, Watchlist, Search. I CAN change and save stuff in the 'User profile' tab.

Also, 'Edit' no longer works; only 'Edit source'.

Can someone help me fix this?

Thanks for the tip! I have opened the Chrome console, and see the following, but don't know what to do with it from here.

OK, when you updated Mediawiki, have you also updated your skins and extensions? Please update all to match the MediaWiki version. Always do so together. (This particular error is for a removed class alias in MediaWiki which the skin relied on. If you update, I believe it will fix itself)

Thanks! Indeed, I went and deleted a bunch of unused skins, and updated my skins, and that solved it!

I don't suppose you would know how to enable the navigation menu (‘main menu’)(in Vector 2022) on mobile, would you?
