Just installed the sitemenu, and for some reason it does not show the posts.

Here's the example:

http://www.brainshrub.com/sitemenu

Note how "Features" has 31 terms, yet when you follow the link you get this message: "There are currently no posts in this category."

http://www.brainshrub.com/taxonomy/term/41

I thought this would include:

Carnival of the Liberals (12)
Haiku and poetry
Morning Link Scans (17)
Open Threads
Tips For Political Bloggers
Interviews (2)

I don't understand why this is happening, especially since in the categories section I set the "related terms" include everything within "Features."

Does anyone have an explanation, or a link to the explanation?

Does the site menu module explicitly state that it supports 'related terms'. The related terms are not widely supported. I've yet to see a module that interacts with it.

If it does then file a bug with the author.

btw, your site menu's restricted.

Do you see why I'm frustrated now that you can see the site map?

ON EDIT: Is there a way I can create a sitemap that supports related terms?

ON EDIT Part II: It seems to work just fine for this site:

Are you sure they are using the same site menu module? It's behaving differently. What bluenc.com did is assign multiple tags to make some of the nodes appear in a hierarchy. -not consistently though. Do you see the top level menu adding up properly? Observer how they tag their nodes.

In your case it looks like it's adding all the child nodes where it shouldn't since each level is a distinct taxonomy term. Maybe related to the poor support of the related terms? Partial support? I dunno.. Try filing an issue with the module author.

It would make more sense if it listed the parent with all the node numbers of its' child nodes like this: Features. -basically all the taxonomy numbers were added together that were inside Features.. I haven't played with the module so I don't even know what's possible.
