Grid Field missing in New Field Type
How Do I?
Hi,
So I recently downloaded the latest ExpressionEngine and got it all running and set up correctly, however, when I want to create a new Field, I notice that the “Grid” type is missing. All other Field Types are shown, and when I look in the database at “exp_fieldtypes” table, grid is shown there.
What has happened here?
Hope you can help.
That’s just odd- is file_grid in the exp_fieldtypes as well?
I attached mine- any difference?
Oh- and where did you download from- repo or EE site?
Thank you for your reply. I’ve attached my “exp_fieldtypes” table.
I downloaded the zip from the EE site.
So… I’m baffled. Try one thing- go in and delete system/user/cache/ folder and we’ll that rebuild itself.
If no difference? Is it a site I can login to as superadmin and take a look? You can hit me on [email protected].
FWIW, I did just grab a fresh install off the EE site and install- and grid is showing up for me. It’s just super odd!
This still did not fix the issue. I should add I’m using a Docker container for development purposes on a Mac M1 with the following setup:

└── DockerfileJust installed a fresh copy of 6.4.17 using my Docker environment as above, and the “Grid” Field Type shows.
Not sure why it isn’t working for version 7!
I appreciate you taking the time to discuss this topic; I not only have strong feelings about it but also like expanding my knowledge on this subject. Would it be feasible for you to update your blog with further information as you get more experience if that seems possible? It gives me a lot of assistance. gaseous happy wheels
