Hi all,

Has anyone had the issue of the primary links menu showing up twice on a page? I am. I posted earlier and never figured out what the issue was about my funky menus, so i decided to start over, having not been very far along in my custom theme anyway. I deleted my zen theme from my folders leaving the install default themes. However, now my only issue is that i have two primary navigation menus showing up. Exact same menus --and nothing I do can make it revert back to normal. I have no idea what i did to skrew this up, but does anyone have any suggestions?

did you check if you have primary link block module enabled? administer > site building > blocks.
I think you should disable it.

May be you are using the theme primary link and the primary link block at the same time

what? I thought the theme primary link and the primary link block were the same? I mean I thought the point of having a primary links block was to tell Primary-links what region to go into... could you explain a little more please?

I just disabled them from my blocks. It took the problem away but, how would I get my primary links and secondary links to the section of the page I want, if i do not have the option of putting them in a region?

I'm probably not the best one to speak about this because I'm really new to drupal, but as far as I know, primary links are always primary links. But you have the possibility to show them through the template or a block.
If you check inside your page.tpl.php you'll see a block of code to publish primary links. You can go in Admin->site building->theme and click on "configure" beside your selected theme. Then you have a list of checkboxes, and you can select if you want to see the primary links or not. If you choose to not display them, you can go in Admin->site building-> block and put the primaty link block in any region of the page, header, left or right area. even in content if you prefer.
If you don't like any of these solutions you can always modify your current template

I hope to have been helpful

Thank you, that makes more sense. After I played around more, I figured out you were right, anyway . :)

i had same trouble

i solved it by changing STARTERKIT for the name of my sub-theme in template.php and theme-settings.php

(i missed that when reading README)
