I upgraded from 5.12 to 6.6 and everything looked good except that I now have the navigation menu duplicated. I have disabled one copy of all of the navigation items but they are still there. What is the best way to clean everything up?

Can I truncate the menu tables and run update.php to clear this up?

Thanks

I've been experiencing the same problem after upgrading 5.12 to 6.6. Searching drupal.org reveals several older bugs dating back 2 or more years to drupal versions 4.x and early 5.x, but no obvious solutions for 6.x

I also experienced this today after upgrading from 5.13 to 6.7.

My first migration was done by creating a 6.6 site and copying the database from 5.12 to 6.6. After doing an update.php all of the navigation menu was duplicated.

I then did a second migration where I duplicated the 5.12 and applied 6.6 and contributed modules to it. In this case only a few of the navigation menu items were duplicated. The problem was less severe using this method.

Did you/anyone ever try truncating the links and running update.php or anything else to re-create them? I'm scared to try this, even with a database backup :=)

I just had the same issue going from 5.18 to 6.13. I cant see what causes it and each time I ran update I ended up with different duplicates (sometimes 2, sometimes 3)...

I tried truncating the menu_* tables and rerunning update.php. This *did* work... However it *will* delete any custom menu items you have defined... Such as, your primary navigation links!

Better than dupes though...

I also am seeing this symptom of duplicate Administrator and Log Out menu navigation items, after an upgrade from 5 to 6. This was done on a copy of the production site, so no harm yet. But I sure would like to know the root cause and resolution to this issue, or a tested work around to remove the duplicates. I really don't want to rebuild menus.

Back to searching the bug reports...

Same problem, moving from 5.x to 6.19. I have as many as 4 copies of entries now (!). Weird.

I haven't the slightest why this is happening, but I'm no guru.

Same issue here, upgrading from 5.23 to 6.19. My test upgrade was perfect, I created my new views and exported, then when testing again to get my process down for the live upgrade, I now have duplicate navigation links, anywhere from 2-4 copies of each link.
