I have a site collection that is missing the content types: Control Display Template, Device Channel Mapping, Filter Display Template, Group Display Template, Html Master Page, Html Page Layout, Item Display Template and I need to restore ootb functionality

these content types are added with activation of site collection scope feature "Html Design" (FeatureId = A4C654E4-A8DA-4db3-897C-A386048F7157)

Echo-Du, - thank you for the response however the content types are missing from the Site Content Types as well. I notice from other site collections the parent of many of the missing content types are Display Template which is in the _Hidden group so manually recreating the content types does not seem possible in the ui.

Hi @SSchaff ,

Content types belonging to the "_Hidden" group are not displayed in the user interface on the list of available content types for lists. Therefore, you can not see these content types belonging to the "_Hidden" group on the Site Content Types page.

I agree with sadomavalex, you need to enable ”Html Design“ feature in SharePoint 2013. More information, please see this link.

Please run the below PowerShell command as an admin:

Enable-SPFeature -Identity a4c654e4-a8da-4db3-897c-a386048f7157 -URL http://sp/sites/sitename

Reference:

Enable-SPFeature

Content Types in the _Hidden Group
