I had been developing a site and just came back to it after 2 months
I added a new Content Type
It does not show up in the Add Content Menu.
Drupal 7
There seems no reason for this. The last content type I added 2 months ago showed up immediately.
What shoud I be looking for to make this happen.. Lists on drupal refer to the problem, but I do not see a solution.
I was thinking duplicate machine names but that is not the case. I add_2 just to make sure and this did nothing.
Enabled it under - admin and navigation menus nothing -so reverted.
Any help to get this fixed I would appreciate.
Thanks
Cheryl

Cron, Cache?
Have you run chron, cleared the cache on your site and cleared your browser cache?
jamesthequack
Chron had been run, browser
Chron had been run, browser cache cleared....
Site cache...do not know how to do this.. Novice here.
I too thought re browser so cleared cached and switched browsers.. Nothing.
Cron needed to update to 1 module... nothing important.
Anything else you can suggest...
List page, permissions?
Does it show up at all in your list of content types? Admin->Structure->Content Types?
Does the user you are logged in as have permissions to add that particular content type?
Does it show up at all in
Does it show up at all in your list of content types? Admin->Structure->Content Types?
Yes.. it shows there
Yes,, I am loggd in as admin
Yes,, I am loggd in as admin last Content Type I created from the same admin user. Just cannot add any new content type that will show up under the list to add content.
Let me restate the issue
Just to make sure I have it right.
You created a content type.
It appears in the Admin -> Structure -> Content Type
Please check your permissions. I just tried adding a new content type. By default, all of the permissions are turn OFF.
Correct?
If you logged on as a user with an administrator role, you will not see this content type as new content type are NOT enabled for anyone. If you logged on as User 1, then you should be able to see the article.
(User 1 is the user that was created when you created the site).
If you click on Admin -> Content and then Add Content on the top of the page, does the content type appear in the list?
Also, please check the content type (Admin -> Structure -> Content Type) and make sure you have published it (not sure it makes a difference).

admin I am admin the only

NO This is the problem
(Admin -> Structure -> Content Type) and make sure you have published it (not sure it makes a difference).
Yes it is set to publish
Did you move any of the menu
Did you move any of the menu links out of their default locations after you created the content type? D7 has what I consider to be a confusing flaw. One expects that the Add Content > [my content type] menu items would be constant and populated by all the content types available. This (at least last time I checked) is not the case. It pulls the content types not by their existence but by whether or not they reside in the default menu location from when they were created (Navigation, I think). If you moved the creation menu links at all, for instance to create a client content type creation menu vs. an admin content creation menu (to keep things clean and separate), the items you moved out of their original position will NOT show up in the Admin Menu's Add content list.
For more info, read:

[Edit: Moving items back to their original menu will restore them within the Add content menu list.]

Navigation Menu
This solution worked for me. Re-enabling the menu items of my custom content types in the Navigation menu made them available again. Thank you.

I have my content type on different menus
I don't know if this is still an issue.
I added a content type of "Test content" and put it in a menu location of "Report Specifications". I also moved it to "Add Past Officer Info" menu location (on the vertical Menu setting - Available menus). Is this what you mean by "If you moved the creation menu links at all, for instance to create a client content type creation menu vs. an admin content creation menu"? Maybe we are talking about something different.
Regardless of the Menu Location, the content type of "Test content" still appeared in my list of Content Types. I even unchecked all Available menus and the content type still appeared in my list.
I also tried published and unpublished. It did not make a difference.
Regardless, I could NOT get my "Test content" content type to disappear off the Admin -> Structure -> Content Type menu.
I running Drupal 7.16.

This may have been fixed or
This may have been fixed or at least altered. I think it exhibits itself mostly if you actually move the parent "Add content" menu item then add a new content type.
Again, this bug was reported and discussed almost a year ago so it may be fixed by now. Just tossing out ideas since it sounded similar.

Will this bug also affect
Will this bug also affect /node/add ?
If you vist yoursite.com/node/add does the new content-type show up?
fixed
The menus were the key... However I did not do anything except select administration
The server then went down... 2 mins later it was up and it appeared. So I cannot really say what happened in the last 18 hours. I do appreciate all the input.
missing content type
I had the same issue. solved it by adding the created custom content type to the navigation menu then looking at the list of links on the nav menu, dragged the link from the bottom up and made it a sublink of the create content link. content type now appears in the add content window.
Another fix for this
I had this one too. I renamed the content type name and machine name (by one character), then cleared the cache. I was able to add content immediately after. I found that the CC was a necessary step, as I got an error on the node/add/content-type page before clearing the cache.
