In Safari&#8217;s settings and then Privacy, you can delete the Website Data for a specific website, this still didn&#8217;t help. I then tried emptying the cache through the Developer menu, this still didn&#8217;t help. Ultimately, I found that holding down the Shift key and then choosing<br \/>\n&#8220;Reload Page&#8221; by navigating to View->Refresh Page has WordPress admin pages rendering properly in Safari again &#8211; yes! Oddly, I have to do this one time for ever admin page that loads improperly, but the change then seems to stick for future visits.<\/p>\n<p>** Update 12-5-2025 **<br \/>\nOh dear, this fix stopped working today.
