Hi, i’ve been creating custom blueprint nodes for my game since 4.5, the thing is that since 4.6 my old nodes are still in the blueprint scripts and work, but since 4.6 I can’t find then in the node creation menu,not even disabling the context sensitive option.  
header:  
#pragma once

```
#include "EdGraph/EdGraphNode.h"
#include "CustomBP.generated.h"

/**
 * 
 */
UCLASS()
class PANICPOP_API UCustomBP : public UEdGraphNode
{
	GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY()
public: UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure, meta = (FriendlyName = "Get Configuration Path", Keywords = "String Config Path"), Category = Game) static FString GetConfigPath();

};

```

cpp:

```
#include "PanicPop.h"
#include "CustomBP.h"

UCustomBP::UCustomBP(const class FPostConstructInitializeProperties& PCIP)
: Super(PCIP)
{

}

FString UCustomBP::GetConfigPath()
{
	return FPaths::ConvertRelativePathToFull(FPaths::GameDir()) + FString(TEXT("Config/"));
}

```

Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi EIREXE,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I was able to reproduce this issue, and I have entered a report to have this investigated further (UE-6486).

I checked the status of the ticket that I had entered, and it appears that inheriting from `EdGraphNode` is actually not the preferred method for creating Blueprint nodes. I did a quick test and I was able to create a Blueprint node by placing the code above into a new Actor class, and I was able to create a node in the Blueprint for my Character.
