Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.If you use parent menu links to generate paths within Pathauto, you'll notice that the resulting path is only updated when a node is saved, which means that if you simply move a menu link item within a menu so that it has a different parent, the path is immediately out of date and no longer correct.
This module fixes that by forcing an update of the Pathauto-generated path when a menu link item has been updated, based of the link's new position within the menu tree.
Should this be in the Pathauto module itself? Maybe.
Recommendations
Also install the Redirect module, and enable it to automatically create a redirect when a path is changed. This would prevent users from getting a 404 page if a menu item has moved, and therefore the path to the node changed.
