It sounds like there could be a couple of different things going on.
- Some of the tabs can be turned off in the plugin configuration. Go to the “Settings” tab, scroll down a bit to the “Modules” section, and ensure the features you want are enabled.
- Three-level menus can also be disabled in plugin settings. In the “Settings” tab, find the “Three level menus” section and make sure it’s set to either “Enabled” or “Ask on first use”.

Thanks, Janis!
For the first issue: yes, I realized that.
For the second and third (no third level option in one website settings and messed up first level in the other with three levels on) there is no solution.
Sorry, I should’ve asked this before: was this happening with the free version or the Pro version of the plugin?
The free version only has very limited support for three-level menus: it can load a nested menu configuration that was created in the Pro version, but it can’t display the additional level in the actual admin menu. If you imported settings from the Pro version, or there was some kind of bug that turned on the third menu column in the free version, that could produce unexpected results, like three levels showing up in the editor but not in the real menu.
In general, you can’t use more than two menu levels in the free version. The Pro version supports three-level menus as an experimental feature.

OK. It is the free version. (Strange, though, that I have the three level option in one plugin, but not in the other one…).
Would highly appreciate a working three level menu in the free version… ☺️
I think this feature is still not reliable/compatible enough to even enable by default in the Pro version (that version also starts out with only two levels), but perhaps someday!

Thanks! I keep my fingers crossed because it would improve the clarity of the admin page enormously!
Admin menu editor does a fine job in this even now, though.
