Since Jenkins was operational--just not usable for most users--I decided to try downgrading the plugins that I upgraded. The first plugin I downgraded was "Build Pipeline Plugin". I took that from 1.4.7 back down to 1.4.4
That did the trick! Can't believe it. I feel lucky. I might even go buy a lottery ticket! Actually, since it was the presentation of the web pages that was most affected, the "Build Pipeline Plugin" seemed to be the most closely associated. BTW. The server is Jenkins ver 1.580.1 I'd still be interested in hearing what you would have done if downgrading the plugin had not worked. If something like this happens again, I'll take James Nord's advice and include the stack trace.
