enter image description here

I have created this solution using VS .Now inside my current web application I have 2 site collections. Old site collection have this solution available under “Insert>>Web Part>>Custom” + inside the “Site Setting>>Web designer Galery>>Web parts” as follow:-

enter image description here

But now I added a new site collection to my web application , but the problem I am facing is that the .wsp solution is not available inside the “Insert>>Web Part>>Custom” Nor inside the “Site Setting>>Web designer Galery>>Web parts” as follow:-

enter image description here

Can anyone advice please? Could this be a version problem ? since I have applied some CU updates from the time I deployed he wsp and when I added the new site collection ? can anyone advice please?

EDIT:-

Here are the web part setting inside the visual studio:-

enter image description here

now the site URL refers to an old site URL. Now I have deploied this wsp using the following steps:-

  • i copy the wsp from the visual studio project.

  • Then i run the following commad:- "stsadm -o addsolution –filename [c:....]\WikiKnowledgeBaseRedirect.wsp"

  • i went to "central administration>>system settings>> Manage farm solutions>>click on WikiKnowledgeBaseRedirect>>click on deploy solution >>select the web application from the “Deploy To?" drop down". and it became available to my old site collection which have the following URL "http://servername/Site/Customes" different from the site URL inside the visual studio. so seems the site URL inside the visual studio do not have any value ? is this correct?

here is the feature screen as requested :-

enter image description here ok it mentioned that its scope is site, then why it did not appear inside the site collection feature or inside the gallery>>web parts section?

  • Ok. Now open the new Site Collection features page (not site features) and check if you can see feature with name WikiKnowledgeBaseRedirect Feature1.

The webpart is deployed as part of a feature. Activate the feature in new site collection and then the webpart will be available.

  • In visual studio check which feature the webpart is associated with. Then check the scope of that feature. Then make sure that feature is deployed.

  • Your old site collection will get this automatically because it was previous deployed and feature got activated. Try to directly deploy the solution from Visual Studio. And set the SiteURl as the new site collection.
