Missing grandchild links and use the current page as top level parent

Hi Mark,

It appears your site may only have 2 levels of pages. For example if a used Manufacturing as the parent page like in this REST request, your site is returning no pages listed as child pages of Manufacturing. If you are seeing child pages under Manufacturing in the Pages area of the WordPress admin, there is a plugin or theme which is filtering the main page queries on your site to not include them.

With “Display [1] levels of child page” set, the sidebar menu will ever only show 1 level of children. If you would like to show additional levels, that setting should be updated to a higher number like 2.

Once you have the levels of pages as you like, you may add the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file to make the menu use the current page as the top level parent. For example, if you are on the “Manufacturing” page, the menu will start with Manufacturing at the top and display the children of Manufacturing below it.

/** * Display the children of the current page only. * */ add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/page/top-parent', 'asm_children_only' ); function asm_children_only( $top ) { if ( is_page() ) { return get_queried_object()->ID; } return $top; }

If you would like the menu to show pages on the same level as the current page when you are on a page which has no children, you may instead use the following filter.

/** * Display the children of the current page only. * If the current page has no children, display the children of the current page's parent. */ add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/page/top-parent', function ( $top ) { if ( is_page() ) { if ( ! empty( get_queried_object()->post_parent ) && 0 === count( get_children( get_queried_object()->ID ) ) ) { return get_queried_object()->post_parent; } return get_queried_object()->ID; } return $top; }, 10, 4 );

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Mark,

The pages are also showing as only 2 levels in site queries not related to the widget, so the widget options most likely will change the result.

Based on your list of plugins, the only one which stands out is “WP Fastest Cache”. If you deactivate this plugin, does the issue go away?

What does your pages structure look like in the WordPress Admin? How many levels of pages are showing?

Hi Mark,

I was able to locate “Mobile Crane” and “Tower Crane” pages here:

• https://www.industrialgearboxesrepairs.com/services/mobile-crane/
• https://www.industrialgearboxesrepairs.com/services/tower-crane/

According to the information on these pages (not sidebar menu related), the parent page they are assigned to is actually Services instead of Crane.

Are these the pages which are supposed to be showing up under Crane?
