I just upgraded one of my sites to 4.7 (my first 4.7 upgrade) and am at a complete loss as to how to configure my content types. In 4.6 it was easy, you just go Admin > Content > Configure (a tab), but that no longer seems to exist in 4.7. I searched all over the admin system to find a way to access those configuration options but can't find any of them anywhere. Are they gone? If so, WHY??? If not, how do I find them?

In 4.7 the content type configuration is located under administer -> settings -> content types.

That option does not exist. I searched the Administer > Settings section first and there's nothing there about content. Here are the only sections I have:

General Settings, Error Handling, Cache settings, file system settings, RSS feed settings, date settings, site maintenance, string handling, and cron jobs.

I believe you're just looking in the wrong part of the page. Click on administer>settings. "Content types" will be listed in the sidebar menu, under "settings" - not on the full page.

In other words (or pictures):

NAVIGATION
-create content
-my account
-Administer
.
.
.
--menus
--modules
--Settings
---Content types
---menus
---(etc)
--themes
--users

Okay, yup yur right, I was looking in the wrong spot, but at the same time, I probably did look there before and legitimately didn't see it. There seems to be a strange bug where this list does not always display. After a bit of testing, it seems that it doesn't want to display this menu if I just finished posting something. And by "just" I mean that the page displayed when I click on the Settings item in the menu is the result of a form POST operation. Can anyone else reproduce this? Kind of peculiar, even if it is easy to work around.

PS: This can't happen unless you have your administrative options flagged Expanded in your menu system. Otherwise there's a page load in between and it doesn't happen...which is the default setting so this bug is not likely to cause problems for too many people.

This information seems to support what nevets posted above, but there's really nothing there... I kid not. Is there some little checkbox somewhere I need to flick to turn on the ability to edit content types?
