Hi Richard,

Have you check your /config/trees.config that it contains info about the Content and Media section.

If you take a fresh Umbraco 7.8.1 installation then it will look like this.

 <!--Content-->
  <add initialize="true" sortOrder="0" alias="content" application="content" title="Content" iconClosed="icon-folder" iconOpen="icon-folder" type="Umbraco.Web.Trees.ContentTreeController, umbraco" />
  <add initialize="false" sortOrder="0" alias="contentRecycleBin" application="content" title="Recycle Bin" iconClosed="icon-folder" iconOpen="icon-folder" type="umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees.ContentRecycleBin, umbraco" />

  <!--Media-->
  <add initialize="true" sortOrder="0" alias="media" application="media" title="Media" iconClosed="icon-folder" iconOpen="icon-folder" type="Umbraco.Web.Trees.MediaTreeController, umbraco" />
  <add initialize="false" sortOrder="0" alias="mediaRecycleBin" application="media" title="Recycle Bin" iconClosed="icon-folder" iconOpen="icon-folder" type="umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees.MediaRecycleBin, umbraco" />

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Thanks Dennis, But it looks exactly like that. I also made sure the client Dependency version was reset to zero.

Strange that I don't see any errors, no 404s, just the content trees are missing completely.

When I right-click on the content header, only options I get are:

• Reload
• Reject Changes

When normally I would expect all the options there as an admin

Had a thought. The Admin User Group has 'No start node selected' But I cannot add a start node as I am also a member of that group. This could be the problem??

OK, I have continued down this avenue and it seems to be the answer, added my homepage Node Id in the UmbracoUserStartNode table and I now can see content under the homepage. No settings node or recycle bin yet and no media. So I still think this should have happened automatically on upgrade or a setting somewhere to allow ALL media / content nodes must be missing.

Check that the section ( content and media) are included in one of the user group of the user.

janus, Yes, they were, i could see the icons and the sections but just no node trees.

I looked into the tables and the groups did not have the startNode set to -1 which seems is needed to see all the nodes from the root.

For some reason this didn't happen automatically on the upgrade so not sure if this is a bug or just because I jumped from 7.6.6 direct to 7.8.1, missing 7.7.x

is working on a reply...
