Not sure if this is a zen issue, but it seems to be the common thread...

I have created a zen-based subtheme, and used Zen classic as my Adminstration theme.

Long story short, Navigation Block disappeared.

It never came back, I had it visible for all users and visible on all pages and placed in the correct region.

A search brought me to this post, http://drupal.org/node/210326 where others have had the same issue.

The solution mentioned did not work for me, but when I turned Zen Classic off as my admin theme, viola, navigation block back.

Go figure!

I've experienced the same. I suspect the ghost comes from duplicating (and enabling) an active (sub)theme. We'll have to check if this is zen specific or if this also happens when duplicating other themes.

Disappearing blocks was a bug in core's update.php script before Drupal 6.7 (?).

Are you still getting this since updating to Drupal 6.9?

Assuming this is fixed.

We were having an extremely similar issue on one of our Zen sub-themes, and the solution referenced above didn't apply since we weren't using a custom admin theme. However, we noted two solutions that did help (either-or; you don't need both of these), and I thought I'd post them here for posterity's sake:

1. As per @osman's suggestion in http://drupal.org/node/210326, create a duplicate, renamed copy of your theme (you'll need to adjust the directory name, the .info file, and any function prefixes), or…
2. In the "block" table, delete all entries whose "theme" column is set to the name of your theme.

The latter solution was what we went with eventually, since it allowed us to keep our original theme code exactly as it was.

Thanks!
Adam
