Fix Your Hosed Admin Menu

Posted by Tom On December - 9 - 2009

Here’s a quick fix. We have a site that has been through a number of migrations, moves and upgrades. We use the Admin module that provide a nice UI for site administration. Somewhere along the way, the admin menu items got completely hosed.

Note that we have no “Content” menu in administration. Also, notice that in the screenshot, we are in the Configuration menu but only have a single configuration item. That certainly doesn’t look right. ;)

So after a bit of Googling  we first tried truncating the cache_menu table without success. Finally we decided to try a simple thought. We disabled the Admin menu. Then we re-enabled the Admin menu and Voila, our admin menus have been fixed. Go Figure.

Admin menu all fixed.

Just goes to show that sometimes the basic troubleshooting steps can fix something that looks worse than it really is.
