   Hello,

   I tried adding the %tag% to my custom permalink but it does not work. The URL will not show the tag, but %tag%. For example: http://www.website.com/%tag%

   Everything else such as %category% seems to work.

   Any help would be much appreciated.

   you can't use %tag% in your permalinks but can use it as the category base

   That article seems to indicate that %tag% is an option for permalinks.

   To test this theory out, I MANUALLY typed the permalink with the tag in my browser and it worked perfectly.

   For example:

   My custom structure: /%year%/%category%/%tag%/%postname%
   Sample tag: hockey
   Sample category: sports

   The URL will than look like: http://www.website.com/2009/sports/hockey/chicago-blackhawks-win

   When I access this in the browser, it works fine.

   HOWEVER, when I click it from the blog, it returns this link: http://www.website.com/2009/sports/%tag%/chicago-blackhawks-win

   This obviously means the %tag% permalink works; it's just that WordPress isn't linking to it properly.

   Any help would be much appreciated!
