Well I still haven't had much luck. It was working perfectly until yesterday. there were a few updates, wish I remember what I updated yesterday so maybe it's conflicting with one of those.
I was able to change the cache to compile with update through the database. If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know...for now I will disable to the top menu and see if I can figure something else out for it.
I just tried downgrading the module to force and update but that didn't work either.
I posted a bug with Prestashop to see if any thoughts there. I'll post back if any results from it.
