Hello all!

I've run into a strange problem. I'll give you my specific example:

I changed the name of a content type called "Date" to "Date/Event" (did not change the "Type", or machine-readable name, as I was worried that would cause errors). I also changed its description. In the admin menu (from the admin menu module), the change is reflected as expected ('Create Content' > 'Date/Event'), and when I'm creating the Date/Event, it says 'Date/Event' on the top of the page. But when I go to 'Create Content' to see the list of content types, it still says "Date" with its old description.

I've cleared the cache in 'Performance' and cleared the browser cache. What else can I try?

(I've changed the name of 2 other content types and those haven't updated on the 'Create Content' page either.)

Thanks!

Really need help with this. Have no idea where to start.

Thanks!

In case anybody else runs into this problem...

If you've rearranged menu items that are automatically created by drupal (like Page, or any custom content types that get populated in the "Create Content" section), it will no longer automatically update. It seems that changing one value (weight) associated with the item makes every value associated with the item a custom value.

In the 'Site Building' > 'Menus' section, I had to click "reset" next to the item that wasn't updating.

I'm not sure exactly how the menu system works, but perhaps something as simple as rearranging the menu structure shouldn't disassociate the menu item from its automatically inherited values.

Anybody else have thoughts on this?

This was driving me nuts! I monkeyed in the database one time to fix this, but that is about the worst possible solution imaginable. This REALLY saves the day!!!

This post by arm75 solve it for me, just:

  • Go to Administer->Site Building->Menus->Navigation ->menu item
  • Click edit
  • Delete description

Didn't work for me, neither the "reset" button for the menu item, nor the the description deletion...
I'm stuck with this, too :(

edit
correction: the "reset" works. I had to reset the single sub-menu items, not only the "create content" item.
