Sharepoint hub site navigation not working as expected

Question

Hi, there is a home page set and a hub en childhubs. This is a live and working environment, but messy. So we are going to set up a new communication site as a hub with some child hubs ( teams and communication sites ) and when it is all ok, we will then make this 2nd hub the homepage and delete the old ones. BUT, if I create a new hub and some childhubs and go to this hub navigation menu edit and add choose the "associated child hubs" , it only shows the parent hub. If I choose the "associated hubs" it shows nothing. What is wrong??

Answer 1

Hi @Nick Loenders ,

Based on the information provided, it is possible that the child hubs have not been properly associated with the parent hub. Additionally, it is important to note that navigational links to associated hubs are not automatically updated when there are changes to hub associations in the SharePoint admin center.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Go to the SharePoint admin center and confirm that the child hubs have been properly associated with the parent hub.
2. Check the hub navigation settings to ensure that the "Associated child hubs" option is selected and that the links have been properly added.
3. If the issue persists, try removing the child hubs from the parent hub and then re-associating them.

And I add another one for "Associated Hubs" and also named it like that:

Clicked on SAVE and next I only see:
