I've had a taxonomy menu in my primary links for over a year now. I recently added a new content type to one of my taxonomy menus. I did what I normally do when I update my taxonomy menu and hit "select to rebuild menu." However, this time I noticed that the menu vocab was listed in my primary links there were no children items. I went to my admin->menus->primary links and saw that there were no children.

I tried a couple times and it has not been working. I also removed the content type which I added and the problem persisted.

Next I deleted the menu item manually through the admin menus. Upon trying to rebuild the taxonomy menu the progress bar completes, but it is not adding a menu item to my primary links.

What can I try next? This is odd behavior because I have never seen this issue before. I didn't change my taxonomy view either.

Thanks.

Are there any errors reported in the log files?

What do you mean you "added a new content type to one of my taxonomy menus"; you added a new content type and set the taxonomy to apply to that new type?

I do not have any errors in the log files. The progress bar looks like it is creating the menu, but when it completes the menu isn't there.

That's correct. I added a new content type and in the taxonomy vocabulary I checked the new content type.

Thanks for the help!

If you got to admin/content/taxonomy and list terms for the taxonomy are the terms still there and do the links for the terms work as expected?

All of the taxonomy terms are there and seem to work fine.

I created a test taxonomy vocab and created a new menu. This seemed to work fine. I basically duplicated the steps I've used in the past.

Is it possible that something broke on my current taxonomy and is causing the issues?

I don't want to have to recreate it because I have 2k+ products which have this vocab attached. :(

How many terms are we talking about?

The reason I ask, if it's a ton, it wouldn't surprise me that this is an out of memory error. (You'd see that in the logs, obviously)

The next thing to check is MySQLs max_allowed_packet. It should be bigger then 1mb.

73 terms.

I'll look into the max_allowed_packet thing. Thanks!

I don't see any errors in the log. I checked my server and the max packet size is 8mb.
