I am trying to import a csv into my current drupal install. I managed to get everything working on a test server using the feeds module. When I went to install it on the main box, the feeds module seemed to install fine, but fields importers did not show up in the Structure menu, and going to admin/structure/feeds just kicked me out as if I had typed admin/structure. I can't make use of the module even though it appears to be installed correctly it obviously isnt. I have re-installed several times and cleared caches everywhere that has caches. Aggregation is enables as well as Ctools and Job Scheduler. I'm running Drupal 7.9 and it is a multisite install, using the fusion theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know it should work because on a fresh install it works fine, but for some reason not in the place i need it to!

Have you also enabled the module "Feeds Admin UI" (feeds_ui) or just the Feeds (feeds) module?

I have a similar problem. Feeds was disabled for a while, and after I've re-enabled it I can't access structure/feeds. The UI is enabled, and I tried uninstalling the module and then reinstalling it.

same problem. tried the dev to see if that worked no luck.

this is going to sound ridiculous, but I upped my memory limit and cleared the cache and it seems to be working now. I am running this on MAMP so this might not help anyone else.

I have done all the above from re-installing, increasing PHP Mem, clearing cache etc. Is there a workaround to get to the feeds structure menu?

any solution for this issue?

Enable "Feeds" "Feeds Admin UI" and "Feeds Import", then I cleared the cache and that solved for me.

Drupal 7 sucks, don't know but this and the issue of the new content types not appearing on the add content page are going to make a lot of people to run away of this fucking CMS. Version 6 was better on the development side than this shit. Sorry but have to release my hanger somewhere. Your solutions are not solutions since you dont know how you made it, but any of them worked from me. I started a clean installation and installing the modules one by one, but no way there is something shitty in the core that is making my life impossible. I hate drupal and I regret the time I spent on it since is the last web site Ill do using it. Good bye buggy drupal

Actually the answer to this is likely very simple though in reference to the comment above this one, it may be understandably frustrating to those not familiar with Drupal basics, or even CMS basics, for that matter.

First, it is assumed you have admin role access (not necessarily user 1). Make sure you've downloaded feeds and enabled at least the first two of these modules:

Feeds (feeds)
Feeds Admin UI (feeds_ui)
Feeds Import (feeds_import) - optional feed example

Second, if you've verified the above and still do not see a menu item linking to the Feeds Admin UI under Admin >> Structure >> Feeds importers, then you ought to check your permissions are enabled appropriately. If you are user 1, then you should definitely have access to admin/structure/feeds importers, but feeds does not default to enable permissions to the admin role (like many other modules do).

Third, you may also need to clear all cache (at least admin menu cache).

Permissions was my issue - hope this helps others as well.

Indeed it is permissions related.

Here's what I ended up doing...

Replace

function feeds_importer_import_access() {
  return user_access('administer feeds') && user_access('use PHP for settings');
}

to

function feeds_importer_import_access() {
  return user_access('administer feeds');
}

feeds.module line 461

@emko_one
The feeds_importer_import_access() function checks if the current user may use the "Import importer" feature. Cause you this goes by using PHP code, it is correct that the "use PHP for settings" permission is used here. To gain this functionality, you should enable the core PHP module and assign the permission "use PHP for settings" to a trusted role. Alternatively, you can log in as user 1.

As for this issue in general, I think #10 beautiful answers the question. The only thing I like to add is that it is possible to disable the menu link when the core Menu module is enabled (at Admin > Structure > Menus > Management). This will make the link not showing up in the admin menu. In this case, "admin/structure/feeds" will still be accessible though. Marking this issue as fixed.
