I can't add tags to posts in the "new posts" interface. When I type a tag in and click "add", nothing happens. No tags show up under the text field. When I preview the post, there aren't any tags listed.
Any ideas?

Deactivate all plugins and try again.
If your index.php doesn't provide for tag display use the Template Tag, the_tags().

Posted 2 weeks ago #You were right - it's one of my plugins. I disabled all plugins and now tags are working fine. I think there's some kind of conflict between my plugins. If I run them individually, they seem to work fine but when they're all installed together, I get weird problems like this. I'm going to list them in case you have any ideas. .

Yet Another Related Posts PluginOne thing I noticed is that the automatic plugin upgrade never works with Fast and Secure Contact Form. In fact, when that plugin is enabled automatic upgrade doesn't work with any other plugin. It's only when I disable that plugin that automatic upgrade works. (If this plugin is the problem, do you know of any that could replace it?)

Posted 2 weeks ago #Arrrghh! I just spent an hour trying to isolate which plugin is causing the problem, but was unsuccessful. I started by turning off all plugins. No problem there. Then I added plugins one by one. If the problem started after adding a particular plugin, then I would go back and turn all of the other plugins off except the one that was causing the problem. But with all of the others off, there wasn't a problem anymore.
So it seems the problem isn't with any one particular plugin, but with the combination of plugins. This is very frustrating because it makes it hard to know how to troubleshoot.
What's more, I really depend on all of these plugins and can't just turn them off.

It's hard to track down a problem like that and it is a common problem, for instance http://wordpress.org/support/topic/324949
If deactivating and reactivating worked guess you could count that as a win.

Posted 2 weeks ago #I just got this message when re-activating Fast & Secure Contact Form:
WordPress database error: [MySQL client ran out of memory] SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = '_transient_feed_0ff4b43bd116a9d8720d689c80e7dfd4' LIMIT 1Does that tell you anything?

Not sure.
Some guesses: check with host and make sure enough disk space especially where MySQL would create tmp files.
Try repairing your database tables.

Posted 2 weeks ago #Thanks for sticking with me on this, Michael. I did repair my database tables. Surprisingly, only two had anything listed in the overhead column and it was very minor. Doing the repairs did not solve my problem.

So if your host had nothing to add to the conversation, wonder if the author of Fast & Secure Contact Form has any insight to the problem.

Posted 2 weeks ago #Okay, I did some more troubleshooting.
I created a completely fresh, new installation of WP with a completely new database on a server on another host I have an account with. I then installed all of the plugins I listed above (that I run on my normal blog) and activated them. Guess what? No problems at all.
I then exported the XML file from my old blog, and imported it into the new blog. I tested everything and it works perfectly. Still no problems.
So this tells me that the problem with the old blog has nothing to do with a plugin conflict. Instead, it's either 1) the host, or 2) some problem in the SQL database.
What do you think?

Guess it could be either...or some junk in wp_options that didn't get exported/reimported.
