CiviCRM 4.7 - Showing Empty home page in wordpress editor

Question

I installed CiviCRM 4.7.31 in WordPress for one of my testing purpose. After i activating the CiviCRM plugin, CiviCRM is proving a blank interface. Can i why the menus are not appearing and how should i resolve it ?

My currect PHP version is 7.2.24 and Wordpress version 5.4.1

These are the output of the console

Some cookies are misusing the recommended “sameSite“ attribute 4
This page uses the non standard property “zoom”. Consider using calc() in the relevant property values, or using “transform” along with “transform-origin: 0 0”. admin.php
The script from “http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/ajax/l10n-js/en_US&r=iLhO1” was loaded even though its MIME type (“text/html”) is not a valid JavaScript MIME type.

SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'

Answer 1

Short answer: that third line from your console means your page is failing to load some javascript that it (probably) requires to display properly.

You might be able to test this theory by adding "&q=civicrm/admin" to your url and see if it shows something.

My best guess is that your civicrm 'assets' (css/js) aren't being loaded properly due to some base url settings.
