I am having problems with pathauto and my parent taxonomy terms.

My child terms look great ( /category/fruits/apple ) but my Parent terms are not respecting pathauto: /taxonomy/term/7 12

Any suggestions? thanks!

Verify if the alias's exist or not, if they do then you need to explain what you mean by "not respecting"?

If you concerned that you can pull up taxonomy/term/tid and it renders the page as per normal, well, thats normal Drupal behaviour/respecting the internal URL for the term. If is this is a problem for you install the Global redirect module.

Thanks for responding to my thread (and for the awesome Genesis!).

So the issue has changed a bit. After regenerating aliases and generally fiddling around I've discovered that a few of my parent terms are now displaying this behavior while others are not.

The aliases do exist. When i list URL aliases i see this:

category/quan-điểm taxonomy/term/8
category/tin-tổng-hợp taxonomy/term/20

"not respecting" means that for some reason Drupal is printing out the default url style, taxonomy/term/id, and ignoring the fact that there is an alias setup.

If you want to see this in action check out: http://dcv.zigtastic.com/

You will see tha the first one is fine, next two parent terms are no good, and all others are OK.

Any ideas?

Ok, for a test can you install the Taxonomy Menu module and enable a menu for the vocabulary concerned, I am wondering if this has anything to do with the Dynamic persistent menu module (I have never used it).

Taxonomy Menu should use the alias in menu items.

I'm actually using Taxonomy Menu to create that navigation but i tried adding another primary links block to my Footer region (to avoid using it with Dynamic Persistent Menu) and the result is the same.

Now i'm noticing that ANY top level parent term is displaying the bad behavior. All child terms are ok.

really strange!

jmburnz im leaning towards this possibly being a bug in Taxonomy Menu. I just posted this as a support request in hopes they can help me understand if it's actually a bug? http://drupal.org/node/493464
