How to Rebuild the Menu Cache in Drupal

You may need to clear Drupal's menu cache to rebuild it after making changes. While the Drupal administration panel only lets you clear the site-wide cache, you can manually rebuild the menu cache by accessing your Drupal site's database. Try rebuilding the menu cache if you've added new menu items and they aren't showing up on the site.

Instructions

1. Sign in to your phpMyAdmin interface to access your Drupal database.

2. Open the database on the left sidebar of the interface, then click on "Cache_Menu."

3. Click on "Empty." Click on "OK" when asked if you want to truncate the menu table.

Tips & Warnings

• Alternatively, you can rebuild the menu cache by clearing the entire cache in the admin panel. Click on "Configuration" and then "Performance." Click on "Clear All Caches" to reset the entire site cache, including the menu cache.
