Answer 1

Problem: I have created Top Navigation using Managed Metada Service in Sharepoint 2013. It works fine for all pages such as Home.aspx, default.aspx etc... In other words it works great with WebPart Pages. But when I navigate to any of Application pages e.g. Site Settings or Site Columns( they are called application pages which by default referencing default.master page.), it is not showing my Top Nav bar with all its menu item as well as Sub menu items.

I have googled lot, finally I got solution for SharePoint 2010 from here, First locate/find PlaceHolderTopNavBar

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTopNavBar"

and rename it to PlaceHolderTopNavBarOriginal, I looked into my custom.html page for same div tag as suggested in link above but I could not. After that I find

<div class="ms-hide"> 

and put

<!--SPM:<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTopNavBar" runat="server" Visible="false"/>--> 

inside that div.

I have written blog here: http://apppagetopnavigation.blogspot.in/

Hopefully this will help you all.

I'm not too sure. But I think that's caused by the fact that they're using different masterpages.

Meaning when the person that activated the cascading dropdowns forgot to make that master page the default for the site. He might have only selected set as custom master page instead of default.

I think this is a bug it happens in all SharePoint 2013 versions and also in the Office 365, in the settings pages it will always show just one level in the menu.
