SMS don’t show on iPad
I can only see iMessages on my iPad, not any sms/mms type texts. I don’t see any settings I can change to adjust this. Please advise.

This is the first thing I'd check too.
Maybe to clarify - this setting needs to be set on the iPhone that SMSs are being sent/received on, rather than the iPad itself.
If the iPad you're looking for is not listed under devices to forward text messages to, you need to check that both devices are signed into the same AppleID.
The setting has to be switched on on your iPhone. The iPad will only receive SMS/MMS messages forwarded from your phone. It will receive iMessages
I don’t see that as a settings option. See attached.
On your iPhone, go to:
Settings > Messages
Select text message forwarding and toggle on the device (iPad)
