I've got a site where the homepage banner isn't showing up for one of the sites in a multi-site instance. It's setup in the back office as a Media type of "HomeBannerFolder" consisting of some individual children media items each with multiple tabs of configuration information.
This query comes up as null and thus the banner isn't visible:
var bannerFolder = umbracoHelper.TypedMedia(folderId).Children.Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "HomeBannerFolder").FirstOrDefault();
The query works fine to find other children media items, but just not the banner folder. It was working fine on Umbraco 7.5.1 and now on 7.8.1 I'm unable to get it working.
I try to "save" the media folder in the back office and get this error:
An error occured
The content item 2938 has an invalid path: -1 with parentID: 1769

Sort of oddly, however, I can view the files in Media just fine:
One other note -- it does appear in Examine's InternalSearcher, and you can see the invalid parent ID.
Short of going into the DB and editing the row containing this content ID, is there any other recourse? Rebuilding the Examine Index doesn't seem like it'll help if it's already having issues finding it's parent element.
If I have one of these with an invalid parent ID, can I find, repair, and prevent future occurrences?
I have previously run the "Repair" on Health Check it shows as okay on the production server, but has issues on staging. I've copied over the same DB from production to staging and still run into some weird content issues with Health Check. There seems to be reoccurring issues that I'm not sure how to dig in deeper on with the media content:
I've checked our class that extends ApplicationEventHandler and I'm not hitting any errors/breakpoints/exceptions within our class for 'OnSave' events. There aren't any applicable to this media type.
That only tells me that the database entity is not having correct data.
The reason you can see the tree without issues, is because the PARENTID in the database is correct.
The reason why you have examine issues is because your PATH field in the database contains incorrect data.
You have 2 options:
Move the media item to another folder allowing umbraco to update the media item and then move it back to the original folder
@Damiaan -- thank you much! Moving the folder from one folder to another and then back (re-parenting) worked great.
In case anyone else stumbles across this, there's a way to detect this (I think). I ran this bit of SQL:
SELECT [nodeId]
,[xml] FROM [YOUR_DB_NAME_GOES_HERE].[dbo].[cmsContentXml]
Then I exported the results as a CSV, opened that in Excel and did a search for:
parentID="-1" level="-1"
parentID="-1" level="2"
parentID="-1" level="3"
parentID="-1" level="4"
parentID="-1" level="5"
Any of those would indicate that there would be an orphaned content item, and you could search for as many levels as you generally have on your site. This fix repaired the culprit for me: parentID="-1" level="2"
Edit: One other sort of odd thing that happened after moving that back and forth was that I had to have Examine rebuild all 3 of the indices.
Content item has an invalid path?

Any ideas?

Hi Chris, My best guess is that your database data is corrupt.
I digged into the stacktrace and searched back the code where the exception is thrown in github.
That only tells me that the database entity is not having correct data.
The reason you can see the tree without issues, is because the PARENTID in the database is correct. The reason why you have examine issues is because your PATH field in the database contains incorrect data.
You have 2 options:
I suggest you try the first one :-)

Great to hear it worked!
If you had to rebuild, I would guess there are still other issues. Let's hope not!
is working on a reply...
