I will attempt so if necessary
If you could possibly connect it and then run an update as i think there was a new kernel. So then you can update it and then reboot and see what happens.
I am not dual booting windows so it’s not an option for me
Okay I will try I just have no idea if ethernet will work

Can you also check the following
systemctl status wpa_supplicant
Edit: Also
systemctl status NetworkManager
Once the update is done? I managed to set it up to connect to ethernet and it’s taking its time updating and I assume you want those after it’s finished
Yes… you’ll have to reboot i assume also.
Edit: I am on KDE and connected to Ethernet and i can also connect to WiFi. I just click on the Network icon and enable WiFi and then i can also connect to Wifi.
Edit2: Not sure on Xfce if it is the same? 
The problem may be due to an update error I believe because this wifi issue happened shortly after I didn’t update the pc after a month and decided to do so like a couple of days before this started
You could look at the updates that were on that date in /var/log/pacmanlog Just scroll to the bottom first and then up to the start of the date you think you did the updates. Then you can look through all of it for that specific date.
Replay to edit: The panel icon disappeared so I don’t even see it showing it’s connected to ethernet
The update is nearly complete I’ll see if it doesn’t fix the problem
Is this before or after reboot?
Edit: Let if finish to see if it completes first of all.
No idea since the wifi panel icon disappeared the same time it stopped connecting to wifi
I thought you were referring to right now the icon disappeared.
Well the update fixed the wifi issue the panel icon is still gone sorry about making this thread my original idea was to use the ethernet cable and update but I was too lazy to do that I wanted another option
Can you post the output of the two commands.
Edit: Not sure why the Icon has disappeared.
Since it is working now you must have just lost the network icon from the panel? You’ll have to check the panel settings and see. I think it is part of the xfce4-indicator-plugin. Not sure!

So WiFi is now working? But no network Icon?
Edit: Check this topic here post #8
Edit: Also check if libappindicator-gtk3 is installed.
The panel icon on the bottom right is just gone that’s it
