# Admin UI Limit

 * Pods Version 2.4.3
 * Is there a limit to the number of pods that will appear in the Admin UI? I’ve
   created 11, but only 10 are visible. I created the 11th pod, Reports, and migrated
   it from my local to staging server – it would show locally but not on staging.
   After carefully comparing [the lists of pods](http://imgur.com/tGkg2dT), I noticed
   that neither list was complete. Local was missing Units, staging was missing 
   Reports.
 * Both pods are actually functional on both sites, by entering the `post_type` 
   parameter in the URL.
 * Is there something I’m doing wrong? How can I get them all to show? On a related
   note, why are they ordered differently between environments?

 * Sounds like you’ve run into a problem we constantly see with the WordPress menu
   system. Have you tried setting custom menu position to larger numbers? You may
   even need to use a menu plugin that lets you edit the admin menu to reorder them
   to avoid core WP menu items from stopping additional menu items to be added.
 * You also might consider grouping some of your Pods together with a menu parent,
   like ‘Books’ pod could have the ‘Authors’, ‘Characters’, and other Pods within
   that menu item.

 * I like the idea of grouping related pods into a single menu. To do so, I started
   looking into the Parent Menu ID field in the Admin UI tab of Pods. I just can’t
   seem to figure out what value goes in there.
 * I’d like to move three items so that they’re children of another item. Like:
   
   Products – Basis Weights – Sizes – Units
 * Best I can tell, I’d put `pods-manage-product` into the Parent Menu ID field 
   of each of the child pods. Which promptly makes them disappear from the top level(
   yay!) but not appear in the Products that I can see (oh snap!).

 * Are the Basis Weights, Sizes and Units Custom Taxonomies of Products?
 * If they are, you can associate them through the Taxonomy fields to the Post Type
   and that will put them where you expect them.

 * They’re all custom post types ([Pods](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/)). 
   Each product has multiple basis weights, each basis weight has multiple sizes
   and each size has multiple units.
 * What I ended up doing was using the [Admin Menu Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-editor/)
   plugin to move the three child custom post types into the Products menu. I also
   combined others while I was there, to further reduce the number of custom admin
   menus by consolidation.

 * Sounds like a good solution. Here’s hoping at some point that WordPress gives
   us the ability to manage the admin menu ‘natively’ in WordPress 😉
