If ever an issue was critical it's this one, and it took me ages to recover from it (which I did by painfully moving proper menu items to secondary links, my primary links is now completely dead, at least until I clean it out using database commands).

I had a Taxonomy Menu for Products vocabulary which appeared nicely (except for problems with multiple parents), when suddenly menu items started appearing everywhere ! At the top level, under other items like Forum that had nothing to do with the vocabulary, and they bounded around and placed themselves under other items whenever they were moved in the menu interface. A complete and utter mess.

All I can think of as a provoking action was turning on the descendants display option (which I like and seems to be missing from other menu modules), and after that things went bezerk.

BTW please don't ask me to do any further tests, I'm launching a site and can't afford to have me time wasted and the site mangled again.
Please examine the screenshot attached, I have to use another module now and get work done.

I strongly discourage anybody from using this module on a production site, it is riddled with errors.

I do apologize for any issues you had but manual database updates are not needed. If you run the uninstall (admin/build/modules/uninstall) scripts (not disable) then all menu links created by taxonomy menu will be deleted. You should run uninstall for ALL modules that you remove.

If you just moved the menu items that taxonomy menu previously created then be careful, because Drupal still believes these are created by another module. You can check this by looking at the "module" field on the menu_links table. Let me know if you need any help with SQL queries.

Cheers

Ahh .. uninstall .. my primary links menu is again clean. Thanks for this advice.
(No, I didn't move any menu items created by Vocabulary Menu, only others I wanted to rescue.)

BTW despite my disparaging remarks yesterday, I am still interested in this module if you can make it work for terms with multiple parents and when displaying descendants, as I'm having other trouble with Taxonomy TreeMenu anyway. Talk about running with the hares and hunting with the hounds.
