Joomla Admin Menu issue

Post by jayceefan » Tue Apr 02, 2024 1:32 pm

Hello,
in the current Joomla version 5 (5.0.3) there are errors in the menu display on the left: the menu appears 3 times below each other. I have updated the core files, no change. See attachment.

Welcome to the Joomla forum!

It looks like the Admin Menu module has been replicated three times.

Click on Content => Administrator Modules

In the resultant page "Modules (Administrator)" filter the modules by the type "Administrator Menu". If you see more than one module listed, Unpublish the modules keeping only one in the Published state.

Check whether this resolves the issue.

The result of my testing/simulation is as shown below:

Thanks for advice. But there is only one admin module... not even one in the trash.

Is it a fresh install? Or, is it an upgrade from an earlier version?

It looks like somewhere the joining is not working correctly. Have you changed the access levels by any chance?

If it is a fresh install, I would suggest installing on a test environment and see what happens.

Could this be linked with language settings?

It is a fresh installation. (And only one language in use). Only two access levels in use: Super Users and Administrators Standard settings, no changes).
Components in use: Akeeba Backup, RSFirewall, RSForms, J-Business Directory, Engage Box, Yootheme Widgetkit
Template: Yootheme
(All in actual update state)

Your menus have two languages. Is there no translation for 'System'? Link to the site would be helpful

The Admin login form offers a choice of languages. What happens if you select English and then login?

The only way I can reproduce your problem is with a duplicate menu module. Try this query in phpMyAdmin (with the modules table select the SQL button at the top):

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM `xxxxx_modules` WHERE `position` = 'menu'; 
Where you replace xxxxx with your table prefix. How many results do you get?

The way the Admin menu item is generated is too complicated to guess what might have gone wrong - it involves loading menu items from xml files. Check: do you have any template overrides for the Atum template?

Find your Admin Menu in the list of Administrator Modules. Edit it and change the Preset to anything. Save and then change the Preset back to Joomla Main Menu. Save & Close. Any change?
