FAQ - Umbraco

Question
The create dialog for "Media" does not match anything defined in the "~/umbraco/config/create/UI.xml". - error when right clicking to create new media in Umbraco
Answer

In the "Media" section of Umbraco, right clicking on a node and clicking "Create" results in the following error:

The create dialog for Media does not match anything defined - error message

 

How to Fix:

  • First, navigate here: "~umbraco\config\create" (Where the tilde: that is the "~" symbol, represents your root url)
  • Open up "UI.xml" in your favourite text editor
  • Find the "nodetype" element with alias="media" - it should look like this: <nodeType alias="media">
  • Change the alias from "media" to "Media" (Note the case sensitive upper case "M") - it should now look like this: <nodeType alias="media">
  • Save your changes
  • Refresh the page and re-try right clicking on a node and clicking "Create".

 

And there you have it! It should work perfectly now. Note - you may have to make these changes again in the future when upgrading your version of umbraco so it might be a good idea to keep a note of this tutorial link somewhere on your computer.
