Content type "MyBlock" is not allowed to be created under parent of content type "SysContentAssetFolder"
You have created shared block and adding it to page's content area? Or created new local block (in "For This Page" folder) and then trying to add to content area?

We have the same issue. It doesn't affect all blocks, only newly created, even copies of old fully functional blocks get the same error.
But as NickT indicates this issue only affects new blocks on the page and not the shared blocks section.

Problem was solved by removing all rows in "tblContentTypeToContentType" referring to the row in "tblContentType" with the ModelType "EPiServer.Core.ContentAssetFolder,EPiServer", in this case pkID 4.
DELETE FROM tblContentTypeToContentType
WHERE fkContentTypeParentID = 4
After that, do a iisreset and it works as it should again.

Thanks Nicklas! I just encountered the same issue on our development server. Google pointed me to this thread and your SQL query seems to have fixed the issue perfectly!
This was on EPiServer 9.12.2 at 2017-03-09. We haven't yet taken the step to go to EPiServer 10.

Hi, I've create a new block, but when I'm trying to add it on a page, I receive the next exception:

Block has very simple implementation:
[ContentType(GroupName = "....", GUID = ".....")]
public class MyBlock : EPiServer.Core.BlockData
{
}
Does anyone have any ideas what can be a reason of such behavior?
