I went through and made a menu first, and then I wanted to make pages for each of these menu items. These seems to have caused a lot of problems. Now all the menus don't link to the URL path. They link to things like node/5 or node/6. I've gone through and deleted both the menu items from the Menu Module AND the pages from the content and started over again and I still can't get the page paths to stick. What am I doing wrong? How should I go about making a page with a specific URL path that exists in the Primary Navigation?

What's the difference between editing a menu from the Menu Module vs. Inside the Page Edit? How come from the Menu Module you can't assign which page it's linked to, but from the Page edit you can assign which menu it's linked to?

Happens in 6.1 as well. Anyone?

I think it has something to do with the way url aliases are prioritized or ordered.

I had pathauto automatically generate aliases for me and my 500+ nodes of content, and then went through and added custom nodes for front page links (eg /about and /staff) and the menu changes weren't sticking

I went into the database (only because it's faster than using the url aliases page) and deleted the generic /node/445->/content/445 and kept the /node/445->about and that cleared the problem up.

I hope that helps
