Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
In the Drupal 7 version of menu_block, blocks configured with a "fixed parent menu" and a "level 1" starting level should always show links. The thinking is that a fixed parent menu tree is the equivalent of a full menu and "level 1" of a menu will always show links; otherwise, there is no way to click deeper into the navigation.
In the D8 version, the block's links only appear if you are on a page inside the requested tree. If you are on a page outside the tree, the block is empty.
