I have no explanation as to how my Main Menu has just dissapeared! It was there mid June because I too screenshots of part of it to illustrate someone's questions on this forum (See post here) but today when I went to the website - the Menu was gone! See photo attached. Any ideas other than just build it again?

Well, I went to Menu Management and saw 2 menus there. One I recognized for some future use but the second menu (and I didn't note its name) did not look familiar. I clicked to edit it and there opened the same menu less screen. Then I went back to Menu Management and that second menu was missing from the list.

I went to the home page and… there was the menu in place and complete. I don't know what I did… but it seems to be fixed!! (?)


The missing Menu is back!!

Hi friendly,

That's really weird.
My best guess is something erased the menu items. Maybe something outside of Composr was messing with the contents of the cms_menu_items table.
Then you saw 'Default' on the list of menu choices in Menu Management, and it let you copy the autogenerated menu (the Default menu) back through to the main_menu.

Was I helpful?
  • If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
  • If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
  • If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
  • If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
