I'm really finding it difficult to set up a new theme for my SharePoint 2013 site. I have uploaded all other files to the design gallery. But when I uploaded the page layouts, and I try to change the Content Type to Page Layout, I get the error below:

Sorry, something went wrong List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

Please what can I do to resolve this?

Thanks.

looking for that id in the logs might provide a bit more detail on what is happening. also, check you have a "Pages" list, otherwise it may indicate missing features to support publishing – Tiago Duarte
Ok. Thanks. But where can I find the "Pages" list? – Estherons Samuel
you should have a list "Pages" accessible from either site content or sharepoint designer. if not, you'll need to activate "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" under "Site settings" > "Site Collection Administration" > "Site collection features" – Tiago Duarte

In the browser, go to your site, and on the Site Actions menu, click View All Site Content, and then click the Pages document library.

Or you can browse directly to http://your_site/pages/forms/allitems.aspx, where your_site is the URL for your site, such as fabrikamweb/finance for the http://fabrikamweb/finance subsite.

The Pages document library is created automatically by the publishing feature and contains all of the pages in a site that are created from page layouts. You can look in the Page Layout column to see which page layout was used for a specific page and then click the link to view that page in the browser.

I got it working by disabling the publishing feature under > site settings > Site Collections Feature > SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features

  1. Deactivate
  2. Reactivate
  3. Rebooted the server (probably could have done an IISReset but overkill!)

Now I can add layout pages under master pages gallery.
