I enabled the Arrange Fields module and discovered the Manage Fields and Manage Display Tabs on the Content/add node disappeared. I disabled the module first and then deleted the files also later from the sites/modules/all directory. I was hoping that the Manage Fields and Manage Display tabs would reappear. They did not. I am a newbie. Wondering if this could be something of your interest to look into. I am adding the screen shot of it. Thanks.

Well that's weird!

The number 1 thing I usually try when something weird is going on with Drupal is to clear the Drupal cache. Try that, and see if it helps.

I am having the very same problem. The fields are not accessible any more, no matter whether arrange fields is active or not. I cannot even browse to the fields tab via the direct link. Clearing the cache doesn't help. This is critical.

Found the solution:

For some reason installing this module has deactivated every other "UI-" module on my site (Views UI, Rules UI, Fields UI etc.). Only noticed that when visiting the deinstall tab on the modules page.

Well that's certainly strange. Believe me, there's nothing in the module that should be taking away any existing menu items. Like every other module, AF simply defines its menu items (tabs, links, urls) and lets Drupal decide how to display them.

What is displayed when you go directly the the fields tab via direct link? A white page, Page Not Found, Access Denied, etc?

Also, try looking in the menu_router table of your database. This table contains all of the URLs in drupal. Look for the missing items. Are they there at all?

I guess it's possible this is an issue with the overlay? Maybe try disabling the Overlay module, then clear the cache, and go back to that admin page and see if the tabs are still missing.

I just saw your "fixed" message.

Well, again, that's pretty weird. There's obviously nothing in my code which would have anything to do with disabling other modules. No idea what could have happened there, unless its just some weird glitch with Drupal itself? I know it's a little bit of a stretch, but I can't see it any other way.

I am marking this issue as "cannot reproduce." If anyone else has this problem, or can reproduce, please re-open. If there IS something I'm doing in the code, I'd love to fix it!

Yeah, if your Manage Fields/Manage Display disappear on you then Field UI is always the first thing you want to check. I forgot, sound this, re-checked Field UI under modules, nice sigh of relief.

FYI: I wasn't using arrange fields, but I was tinkering around with Display Suite and Renderable Elements. Rel has been acting weird and I noticed that my Overlay stopped coming up. Oddly I seem to recall tinkering with content types, making some views, then added some menus, then everything Fields UI/Overlay vanished.

Hopefully, that helps clue someone into the culprit.

it's Fixed, but it is strange how Feild UI is been unchecked automatically?

This worked for me. I noticed the field UI was disabled. Enabling it brought everything back. Thank You
