After I had deleted my interface from a blueprintclass, I can’t add it again.

interface is still visible in “Add interface window” but when click it, nothing happens.

Does anyone have an idea how I can fix that?

Hi Hensen89,

I wasn’t able to reproduce this in 4.7.3. Does this happen in a new project, or only your current project. Are you able to reproduce this problem in a new Blueprint with a new Blueprint Interface? Can you list steps you take to see this happen? Thanks!

Hi ,

I had to reconstruct Blueprint and now it works.  
I never had problem again.

Thanks for your help and excuse my late answer,

I know this is an old topic, but I stumbled on it while trying to figure out same issue I had. My solution was to manually delete functions that interface implements before re-adding interface to your blueprint.

I had same problem (4.12.5), at first I was able to add an Interface to my BP, then I’ve deleted it accidentally, and in following I wasn’t able to add it again (just nothing happened when I clicked on it).

"timetravel"s trick with manually deleting functions in interface worked 🙂

Old thread, but may help someone…issue is most often that you have a function name in your actor that has same name as an interface function name. If that happens, then you will get no error, warning or anything…but interface will simply not be included in your class when you select it from drop down.

There should be an error but there isn’t.

Also, after you delete colliding function in BP you need to recompile before you can add interface

This is definitely a bug that should be reported. Easy fix is to just duplicate your blueprint and interface will add. Delete original BP and rename new one.
