When create custom content type through UI or programmatically in Drupal 7, there is no link is listed in the Content > Add content.

I was creating the content types without any trouble, but now it is created(succes message is showing) when I check them in the node_type table but not lising in the admin/structure/types.

But no content type is listing(not any links showing) in the Content > Add content, or Structure > Content type administration menu.

Here is the code that allows users to access node pages:

/*
 * Allow users to view the contents
 */
function mymodule_node_access_records($node){
    $grants = array();
    $grants[] = array(
        'realm' => 'example_realm',
        'gid' => 123,
        'grant_view' => 1,


  'grant_update' => 0,
    'grant_delete' => 0,
    'priority' => 0,
);
return $grants;
}


/**
 * Implements hook_node_grants().
 */
function mymodule_node_grants($account, $op){
    $grants = array();
    if ($op == 'view') {
        $grants['example_realm'] = array(
            123,
        );
    }
    return $grants;
}

Then I rebuild permissions using Content Access module.

  • Iv'e only had this issue right after I create one and a page refresh fixes it. Could it be perms perhaps? – sareed Jan 6 '15 at 15:07
  • have you emptied the cache ? – rtome Jan 6 '15 at 15:12
  • I am hanging with this for 5hrs(min). It would not be that easy to count the cache operations. @rtome: Thank you for your comment anyway. – Ataboy Josef Jan 6 '15 at 15:23
  • are you using any cache other than default core cache? Say Authcache or Memcache. – hkoosha Jan 6 '15 at 16:11
  • also manually check this path, is it a 404? 403? 500? yourdomain.com/node/add/MACHINE_NAME where MACHINE_NAME is the machine name (doh!) of the node type you created. – hkoosha Jan 6 '15 at 16:12

  1. Check the permission for node creation of that type in admin/people/permissions
  2. Clear all caches and retry and it should be OK

  • May be you are getting to the point. But how is it possible to -"check the permission for node creation of that type", when I am going to create a new type? – Ataboy Josef Jan 6 '15 at 15:28
  • @usermesam0023 check the permission of the one you already created but has disappeared. It's listed in the permissions list as 'create new node of type XYZ'. – hkoosha Jan 6 '15 at 16:09
  • Also, try to access directly this link node/add/your-new-type – Nabil SADKI Jan 6 '15 at 16:28
  • @nabil: I have posted this question after I tried all these possibilities. When I go this path: I get the same 'Add Content' form. – Ataboy Josef Jan 6 '15 at 16:43
  • Now I am running the site with the single 'Administrator'(allowed all permissions) and other users(anonymous). I have allowed these anonymous users to access all my node contents. Now I am going to add this code to my question. – Ataboy Josef Jan 6 '15 at 16:48
