Sharepoint 2010 - Feature Not Displayed in User Interface

Question

Does anyone know what might cause a new feature to appear in the SharePoint user interface? The solution in which it is included has been correctly deployed in the GAC and appears in the list of central administrators of deployed farm solutions, this function appears in the FEATURES folder from 14 bushes, but the function itself does not appear in the list of functions for the site collection, either in the user interface or in PowerShell using Get-SPFeature.

Yes, the function is correct, and no, it is not hidden. :)

Any thoughts or pointers will be very welcome!

Somehow, something went wrong with the installation of this function, and neither the user interface nor commands such as Get-SPFeature found its existence, although the Install-SPFeature -ScanForFeatures command, shifted below, displayed the missing function.

“Make sure this feature is installed. For example, if you are updating Update-SPSolution and adding a new feature between deployment solutions, then the feature is not installed by default.

To check, follow these steps: -

Starting the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell from one of the SharePoint servers Install-SPFeature -ScanForFeatures Type This will show you any features that are available in the root of SharePoint, but have not been installed. You can install any missing functions using the command: -

Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures See the Next TechNet Article Section for more information.

Look in the central admin to find out which site collection uses this feature. Verify that the feature is enabled in this site collection.

Also check the status of the deployment job to see if it is actually completed.

Is there a setup event receiver? If this is an error, the function will not complete the installation even after copying the DLL.
