I had Drupal 6.13 with Pathauto, Path Redirect, Path of course Views and Taxonomy enabled. And I noticed that some taxonomy terms were not displayed correctly. In fact, they were not displayed at all!

I`ve made some research and discovered that they were redirected from normal "taxonomy/term/tid" to "taxonomy/term" - the page, that does not exists on my site! Then I discovered that it was Path Redirect which made such strange redirects for my terms.

I just deleted that module and all terms started to work :))

In fact, I think problem lies in new settings in Path Redirect - to discard redirects that are not used for some times. They were not such option in 5th vertion and I`ve just updated the module for 6 - I did not even knew about new options! So, after 8 weeks, some rarely used terms simply dissapear, breaking my site...

I think you should - provide an information on your module page here, on Drupal.org + in Readme.txt + maybe an notification should appear in administration page?

Or - make option Do not discard redirects as default

+ Please, do research why discarded redirects lead to false pages? maybe, they should simply dissapear - in fact they do exists in base.

Thanks.

I am also experiencing this issue. I've temporarily disabled the Path Redirect module to make the taxonomy term pages work. I'm on Drupal core 6.14, Path Redirect 6.x-1.0-beta4, and Pathauto 6.x-1.1.

Same problem here:
Drupal 6.12, Path Redirect 6.x-1.0-beta4, and Pathauto 6.x-1.1

Whenever I create a new taxonomy term a spurious redirect gets created. The redirect seems to be redirecting the PREVIOUSLY created term to the 'taxonomy/term' page. To be clear:

1. I create term #32
2. The following redirect is automatically created:
FROM: taxonomy/term/31 TO: taxonomy/term/

I'm 99% sure Path Redirect is not at fault. It's a Pathauto problem: http://drupal.org/node/550864

Ok, now I'm 100% sure it's not Path Redirect's fault. I've posted the fix here: http://drupal.org/node/550864#comment-2147148

Yes, duplicate of an already-fixed Pathauto problem: #278368: taxonomy_term_path being passed TID instead of Term Object
