I was creating a custom menu in Magento 2 but this was not being shown!

file location:
Magento2Root/app/code/Cloudways/Adminmenu/registration.php

other files:module.xml

third file: menu.xml

screenshot of my code

Make sure that your module.xml is in the path - Magento2Root/app/code/Cloudways/Adminmenu/etc and menu.xml is in the path - Magento2Root/app/code/Cloudways/Adminmenu/etc/adminhtml

If this doesn't help then edit your question and add content of all the 3 files so that People can answer that.

Please verify that the path of menu.xml should be app/code/Cloudways/Adminmenu/etc/adminhtml/menu.xml.

Apart from that, if you are checking the menu item from a user with restricted permission role, then you must specify acl.xml in your module under app/code/Cloudways/Adminmenu/etc/acl.xml.

Edit: If you are having trouble in finding the cause of issue, then retry with the steps below:

Step 1: Create app/code/Stack/Adminmenu/registration.php and put the following content

<?php
MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::register(
 MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
 'Stack_Adminmenu',
 __DIR__
);

Step 2: Create app/code/Stack/Adminmenu/etc/module.xml and put the following code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
 <module name="Stack_Adminmenu" setup_version="0.1.0">
 </module>
</config>

Step 3: Create app/code/Stack/Adminmenu/etc/adminhtml/menu.xml and put the following code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../Backend/etc/menu.xsd">
 <menu>
 <add id="Stack_Adminmenu::first_level_demo"
 title="Admin Menu"
 module="Stack_Adminmenu"
 sortOrder="20"
 resource="Magento_Backend::content"
 />
 <add id="Stack_Adminmenu::second_level_demo"
 title="Sub Menu"
 module="Stack_Adminmenu"
 sortOrder="1"
 action="menuitem/index/index"
 parent="Stack_Adminmenu::first_level_demo"
 resource="Magento_Backend::content"
 />
 </menu>
</config>

Remember to define and create the controller class for the action where you are redirecting on clicking on the menu item.

You have to create ACL acl.xml

• app/code/Cloudways/Adminmenu/etc/acl.xml

Also menu.xml should be under

• app/code/Cloudways/Adminmenu/etc/adminhtml/menu.xml
