Navigation Link Missing in Settings for a SharePoint Site Collection
Published 11/23 courtesy of Bamboo Solutions Community
I received a high priority email earlier today from a self-professed SharePoint Admin "noob" asking for help with a problem. The problem he was having involved the lack of a Navigation hyperlink under the Look and Feel area of Site Settings for a newly created copy of an existing site collection. The Navigation link remained in place on the original site collection, but was nowhere to be found on the copy which had been created via stsadm.
Admin-related tasks aren't exactly in my wheelhouse, and pretty much anything involving stsadm is admittedly going to be outside of the end user focus of SharePoint Blank, but I wanted to see if I could somehow use my mad Google skills to be of some assistance. And since there was at least one new-to-SharePoint Admin out there who was rather desperate to find a solution to this problem, I figured if I could turn up the answer and blog it that I might be able to raise its Q rating ever so slightly in the search engines, which could then be of use to other Admins encountering the problem down the line.
I found what I sought on page one of the results when I employed "navigation link missing SharePoint site collection" as my search phrase. The short version of the answer is that Publishing must be activated on the site collection for the Navigation link to appear on the Site Settings page, but full details of the solution are available at TechNet, courtesy of SharePoint MVP John D. Ross and Arpit Goyal. Thanks, gents!
