Drupal removes a page from menu links after page edit - drupal

This might be a really simple thing but i was unable to find an answer to it. The issue is this:
I'm using Drupal 7, updated from Drupal 6. I have main menu to which i've assigned some pages. Whenever i edit one of those pages Drupal, for some reason, removes it from the menu links. Anyone ever had the same problem or would anyone have any ideas as to why it behaves this way?

Ok, let's try to rule some things out. You said that you assigned this menu to some pages. If you are viewing the page in view mode, then click edit, then save, you will be taken back to the view of that node. If you are viewing all of your content in the admin, then click edit by the node, then click save, you will be taken back to the list of content in the admin. Take a look where you assigned this menu to, AND/OR where you did not assign it to. Make sure you are not looking at a page where the menu was not assigned to.

You only needed to enable it from the settings - 'Provide a menu link'.

Wordpress: How to turn page content into a popup

I really appreciate your generosity in taking the time to help me out!
I am working on a portfolio site to showcase my graphic work on wordpress.
For most themes, when you click on a list item on the portfolio it directs you to a new page dedicated to that item. I want it to be that when you click on the link, a big popup (about half the screen) comes up that displays the contents.
Is there a way to make the page content into a popup? Is there a plugin I can use for this?
You can see what I am looking for in this site:http://www.mikekus.com/
When you click on the link for each item, it doesn't redirect you to a new page. A popup comes up with the page information. How can I do that on wordpress?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Here is what that site is running on: Dunked.
There are quite a few options out there for this, especially in the WordPress plugin area. One fairly barebones looking one is WP Post Popup which, as the name implies, turns your posts into modal pop-up's instead of a new page.
Not sure if there is anything out of the box that is comparable to popping up on the side like the page you linked. With some CSS work though you could probably make the one I linked above, or any of them for that matter, look as you would like.
If you want to try and make something on your own, I would recommend doing some reading up on modal windows.

UberMenu options screen doesn't work at menu setup

I just purchased and installed UberMenu plugin version v3.2.1.1, followed the setup exactly the way they described, and I'm able to see the Ubermenu instance in my front page, as it should be.
However, I can't access the customization area of the menu, and therefore I can't tweak it my own way.
When I go to Appearance -> Menus and click on the Uber button on any menu item, all I get is an empty options popup, just like the image below. None of the tabs present any content, it's just like the plugin scripts weren't being loaded.
However I see that blue popup in the lower right end of the screen saying it was being loaded correctly, and it's gone properly when it ends the job.
What can I do to enable/load correctly the configuration options for this plugin?
Thanks!
There are generally 2 possibilities that can make this happen:
A PHP error occurs (for example, a memory limit exception), preventing the page from loading the content critical to the menu item settings panel. You can check if that's the case by viewing your Menus Panel page source and seeing if you have a closing HTML tag.
or
The theme alters the admin menu structure via a custom Walker, resulting in the plugin not being able to find the appropriate data within the admin menu items to generate the settings panel. This is not very common, but can happen with themes that offer their own custom menu item settings within the Appearance > Menus Panel, as they alter the standard item markup to suit their needs.

How to disable top page from dropdown menu wordpress?

I relly need help. I made a wordpress website, but i dont know how to disable top page from drom down menu.
I want to turn off page "Apartmani" because it is a empty page, so can you tell me how to disable that page and when you want to click on it nothing happens.
Here s the picture http://www.dodaj.rs/f/t/13H/495kOjY8/pitanje.png so i want to unable "Apartmans".
Thanks
The easiest way for you do do this is not to add this "Apartmani" as a Page in your menu, but as a simple link (as you can add custom links in your menu), with "#" as target. As is you will have a menu item that will handle its sub-pages, but this item will not lead to anything at all as long as the targeted link is #...

drupal 7 specific page shortcuts are disappearing when edit and save that node

I have created a new user and I have given the rights to edit and display some specific content type, and the user has no other rights. Also I have created for him an shortcut list with some specific nodes of that type, which he has access to see and to edit.
But the strange thing is when the user (I have checked doesn't matter which user, even the administrator user) edit and save that node, then the shortcut to that node disappear from the menu bar. I have check the shortcut list attributed to that user and there is no shortcut there.
Do you experience the same thing?
UPDATE: Found a similar issue for the menu problem I'm experiencing indicating that this is a bug: http://drupal.org/node/761648#comment-4345692
I have the same trouble. It becomes very tiresome recreating my menus every time I edit content. I don't know how to fix it, but it seems the problem stems from the 'Provide a menu link' option in the Menu Settings tab while editing content. If I don't manually change it every time I edit content, it'll automatically choose to add a menu link to the main menu, deleting it from any other menu it was in. If I uncheck it, it will still delete the old menu item anyway.
I hope someone has answers!
I had the same problem with 'basic pages'.
Changed content type (structure > content types) 'basic page' and checked all the checkboxes for 'available menus'.
If you edit the content now and set the 'provide menu link' to the correct menu it remembers it correctly and the menu items don't disappear anymore.
Hope this helps.

Try simplifying the URLs.
One thing I've found is that if Drupal doesn't like (for whatever validation reason) your URL, it will not show it until you edit it to be acceptable.
For example, I tried adding this repeatedly without success
node/2/edit%3Fdestination%3Dadmin/content
It showed up fine when I changed it to:
node/2/edit
Perhaps something in the node URL changes when they edit it.
It's not a real bug, but a bit strange ;)
You have to edit your content type to accept all referred menus. So, the actual menu entry won't be deleted and placed in main menu.
Have fun =)

Drupal site front page

I've assigned a page from Pages module as home page. And now the main menu shows the menu item called 'Main' which leads to '/main' page. How can I change that to make the 'Main' menu item link to really '/' of the site ?
Updated:
Sorry if it is not clear, the 'page' i mean is really a page - ( Site building -> Pages ).
If you go to the Site Information section of your admin panel, you can set a specific node to show up as the front page. I would use the node/XX way of referencing your node, since the alias you gave the node ("main") may change. Once you've done that, you can change your menu link to go to <front>, which will automatically send it to whatever node is designated as the front page.
Got it.
If I mark a 'page' as to be the front page of the site, and it has a menu item, this menu item leads to something like '/main', but not the '/'. To fix it I removed any menu reference on the page properties and then in the menu editor add the required link with the path ''.
Thanks for the response!
On top of what everyone else has said, can I just let you know of a mistake that I made.
I had pathauto switched on, but it was set to delete old path and create a new path if the title of a page changed.
And you know what, this happened to my home page, so where the page I'd over ridden and called homepage, was now called welcometothisthatortheother (if you know what I mean).
My advise if your using pathauto is to use the nid value ( node/11 ) or make sure unlike me, that you only create new paths on page inserts rather than updates.
