I'm running 4.3.0 after playing with previous version for a month and reading the mailing lists for several weeks. Works great except taxonomy is broken. If I click a category, I get things that should not be in that category. I click edit post to make sure it is categorized correctly and it is. Searched here, found no one with the same issue. Any one have any ideas?

(Using mySQL as I have found postgreSQL doesn't work in many ways)

If I select any one of the top level terms, I believe they are called vocabulary, I see every post made, but if I select a word under them, I only see the posts in that category.

This is how it should work.

I would have thought that if I picked one vocabulary that I would see only the entries made in each vocabulary and each term contained in that vocabulary, not every entry ever made. To me that just makes no sense. What point does selecting a specific vocabulary offer if it shows me every entry ever made? I must be missing something as I am not sure why it you would want that to happen. To me it would make more sense that if you select a vocabulary term that you should only see things entered under it or under a term it is a parent of. That is how sites like Freedom Ink and Debian Planet work.

I guess I am mistaken than and I need to change Drupal as they have to make sure I don't see every post when I narrow things down by clicking on a vocabulary word.

On which page did you select the vocabulary? Please give me the url (relative to your Drupal root if your site is not public).

You can see it at brianpuccio.net. If you click "Music" or "Technology", every post, front page or not, will appear. But once you select a term underneath that, it only shows posts filed under that entry.

Why didn't you say that you use the taxonomy_menu module?

I am not familiar with the inner workings of that module. You may want to contact the author.

Sorry :( I thought that this was a taxonomy problem and not a module problem. I thought the module just created links, but that the taxonomy system would be working by itself.

Hi. I'm trying to do exactly the same and agree completely that it makes absolutely no sense to show all nodes when you pick on a particular area of taxonomy. I've only just started using Drupal and although it makes some things really easy it does seem to make building taxonomy-based site navigation a complete nightmare. Will keep at it for a day or two more but fear I may need to trial some other CMS's if this proves unsurmountable. :(

I can confirm that this is the standard behaviour. I have a taxonomy vocab item called 'Image' when I click on it in the taxonomy menu, I see every item in the drupal, regardless of whether it is linked to the 'Image' taxonomy or not. It's a bug, I think.

I'll post this on the project page for taxonomy_menu if it isn't there already.
