SharePoint Global Navigation Blank
I am struggling with getting the Global navigation working, not sure if I am doing something wrong or if it's a timing issue?
I have read many MS and other pages and videos on Navigation and hub sites and think I understand it a bit but clearly, I am missing something.
Steps Taken
Via SharePoint Admin & Site Settings & PowerShell
- Created a Comm site (HomeSite)
- Set as the Home site, via PS [Set-SPOHomeSite -HomeSiteUrl https://...]
- Registered the HomeSite to a Hub site
- Changed the "look and feel" on the HomeSite, eg theme colors, layout
- The Global Navigation link is shown under the site's Settings menu with;
- Enable global nav "On"
- changed custom logo for visual testing (and is shown on all pages now)
- Confirmed Hub Settings is "Shown in navigation"
- Associated another site (Site2), with the HomeSite
- Created two more Comms sites (HrDeptHub) & (Onboarding)
- Associated Onboarding to the HrDeptHub site
- Added a parent association to the HrDeptHub to the HomeSite
- asdf
But in the end, I am not seeing any menu changes (horizontal page menus on the Comms site) and the Global Navigation is empty. I am logged into the site as the Site Owner and have a test user with basic permissions only.
Oddly the Theme settings/colors on the HomeSite (hub) are not propagating to the associated sites. In another test with 2 brand new sites (CommSite1 hub) & (Teamsite1), branding/colors are enforced on the associated TeamSite1. But I the Global Nav is empty, and the top Hub navigation (horizontal) only shows items from the site itself.
