Hallo everybody

I am using Menu block on Main menu that has the following structure:
Main menu
- Item 1
-- Item 1-1
-- Item 1-2
- Item 2
-- Item 2-1
-- Item 2-2

The items below Item 1 (Item 1-1 and Item 1-2) are created as ordinary menu items.
When I am on either of Item 1, Item 1-1 or Item 1-2 pages I see a menu block with the whole subtree
Item 1
- Item 1-2
- Item 1-2
This is as desired.

The difference with items below Item 2 is that they are created from a taxonomy using
Taxonomu menu module. Now when clicking on Item 2 I see the block with corresponding subtree
Item 2
- Item 2-1
- Item 2-2
However, that block disappears when I click on Item 2-1 or Item 2-2.

What could be the reason for that behaviour?
I would like the menu block to be present on all the subtree (Item 2, Item 2-1, Item 2-2) pages.
I searched the forum and there are some issues seemingly similar to mine, but I couln't find a solution.
What am I missing here?
I'd highly appreciate help or suggestion.
Thank you.

Alex

I was just struggling with this issue for a couple of hours. In my case, taxonomy term pages are overridden by views, which add additional complexity. Finally I managed to solve this. In Menu Block configuration, remove all checkboxes from specific listed content types. As it says in description - if no content types are marked, there will be no limitations. And everything started to work. Basically, if you enable specific listed pages, it dedicates this block to specifically marked, but all other pages, like taxonomy (and may be others) are excluded. May be it is a bug.

I'm not familiar with taxonomy menu. If it creates normal menu items, I see no reason why menu block wouldn't work as normal. Do you see the same behavior when using core's Main menu block?

I recognize this problem - I have the same problem. As long as I start the menu tree from the first level, the menu is visible. If I try to start on second level, nothings shows up.
