I have a weird issue here. I can import an html page, and a node is created. I have selected "Add each page to menu" and the menu parent is "Primary Links".

However, the menu item is not visible ( to either admin or anon user ), even when I refresh the page or navigate around the site, UNTIL I NAVIGATE TO ADMIN/BUILD/MENU, at which point it magically displays without me touching anything. Once the admin user navigates to the menu admin area, all users can then see the menu item.

Any ideas what is going on here? I have tried different themes and the issue occurs for both admin and anon users.

There is a reason.
The menu tree is cached, and usually is rebuilt whenever a change is made.
However that's a pretty heavy operation, so it is NOT happening every single time import_html does a step in a bulk import.

Yes, just visiting admin/menus triggers a rebuild, it makes sure it's up to date when it loads.

It looks like we should at least rebuild menus when an import round is done. I know all the steps there, so I know it should have done that. It may have been missed or broken at some point.

I'll see if it's fixable if I open it up the D5 again. I've been reworking the structure a lot into pure multistep forms and batch operations for D6.

What should I do, if I have a problem seeing the admin navigation menu on a fresh install of 6.8?

I only see 20-30% of the menu, if something times out after 30 seconds. Going to /admin/build/menu doesn't refresh the page, but goes to /admin/build instead.

I haven't found a solution on the forums (or the website), but I think it might be a serious problem.

Thanks.

import_html on Drupal 6 is not out or stable. Not sure what you are doing there.
Are you lost?

I was searching for info on disappearing navigation menu: a critical bug or feature that doesn't let me build a website. I guess I should ask on the forum.
