The menu item for /admin/build/block has gone - that is it is not appearing in the admin menu. I'm afraid I did not notice when it disappeared, but it may have been when installing a new feature (Feature module) with some menu links in it (I'll report this as a bug there is I can confirm this).

If I visit the page /admin/build/block I get the index page for /admin/build

Visiting /admin/by-module displays the links for Configure permissions and Get help for the Block module, both of which work.

I'm logged in as user 1 so I don't think this is a permissions problem, but I did test by granting permissions to any authenticated user, no change.

How do I get my block admin pages back?

(I'm a Drupal newbie so I'm trying semi-random things here, but just in case it helps someone help me...)

After some investigation I found that the menu_links entry for the blocks menu was missing, so I copied the row from a fresh install and inserted it (see SQL below), however this did not have any effect.

I found a snippet to clear caches and rebuild the routing tables at http://drupal.org/node/42055 but this did not make the menu items reappear nor id the menu_links table have appropriate entries.

One other thing that I have noted is that the title of some of my blocks is set to (in the database) but on display the default title is being displayed. Editing the title value is having no effect on what is displayed.

I perhaps should mention that I am using the context module to manage block layout, but this does not give me access to the block settings.

Anyone any ideas on this - I don't mean to be impatient, but I'm at a real loss.

In the context module there is an option to enable/disable the core block system, it is located at

admin/build/context/settings

if anyone else has the aforementioned issue, you should check this setting...
