TYPO3 Content Element "Image only" missing

I just installed a new 7.6.10 TYPO3 CMS and I am missing the content element "Images only". If I click on "+ Content" I only have Header Only, Text & Media, Bullet List, Table, File Links available. I have nothing configured at TS / TCE Setup (removeItems etc.). In addition, I noticed that this content type (Images) is not available to select for user groups as well.

At another system I installed some month ago (and already updated to 7.6.10) this content element is available. New installation (without the element)

Do you have an information about the appreance of this element?

Old installation (same version, with this element)

Probably, in your old system you're using css_styled_content extension, and in a newly installed fluid_styled_content is active by default, which replaces the former one.

And according to TYPO3 7.5 changelog:

EXT:fluid_styled_content simplifies the available CTypes which results in types text, image and textpic being dropped in favor of type textmedia. The relation field is changed from image to media_references.

So, disabling fluid_styled_content and enabling css_styled_content should help you. Although I wouldn't recommend to do so for a fresh installation, because CEs, based on Fluid are far more flexible, than those, based on TypoScript.

you could do Everything with the element "Text with Images" what you could do whit the other simpler Typoes "text" or "images Only". therefore the TYPO3 Developers decided to Unify the funktion into One Content Element. to make the Backend Simpler.

as TYPO3 now offers support for more Media types (e.g. video) they reneamed "Text with images" to "Text whith Media".

if you just Need images only you could still use the "Text with Media" element. and just don't enter any text.
