    Guys, I've installed UTW, and opted for "non-displayed" tags until I get my styling sorted out.

    My problem is that now, the tags are appearing wrong on technorati...

    example: The tags display as index.php?tag=breadcrumbs

    You can see my site on technorati here...

    UTW has some support forums, have you tried there?

    It's getting them from your RSS feed, and your feed has stuff like this in it:
    <a href="http://www.realepicurean.com/index.php?tag=caterpillars" rel="tag">caterpillars</a>

    That's your problem.

    On the Options->Tags page, turn on "Use url rewriting for local tag urls (/tag/tag instead of index.php?tag=tag)". That will change those urls to look like: http://www.realepicurean.com/index.php/tag/caterpillars
    instead, and Technorati will be happy again.

    Same here. Seems to be due to me not being able to run "real" permalinks, I must have www.sitename/index.php/whatever/
    So using URL rewriting is not an option.

    Any more ideas anyone?

    Actually I managed to get url rewriting working for tags by giving the prefix /index.php/tags/
    Now, however, all tags result in "sorry, but no posts matched your criteria".

    Sorry guys - still need help : (

    try using

    other format except /%category%/%postname%/

    tag will work for you

    am having the same problems, i think due to the url rewrite rules not working. even tried the ones suggested on the utw pages (as well as other bloggers who posted suggestions about that).

    but what if my url is '/%category%/%postname%/'? can't i stick with that? that'll break up a lot of permalinks on my site. :D

    if you need your url to be some thing like this

    /%category%/%postname%/

    Then DON'T activate this option (from admin panel-options-tags)

    Use url rewriting for local tag urls (/tag/tag instead of index.php?tag=tag)

    still you can show your tag some thing like this

    index.php?tag=tagname

    i got UTW url rewriting to work just last night. i'm surprised it worked.

    a) used the rewrite code found here (the RewriteRule ones) and added it to .htaccess file (before RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f)
    b) in options > tags, checked "Use url rewriting for local tag urls (/tag/tag instead of index.php?tag=tag)" but disabled "Include trailing slash on tag urls"
    c) in options > permalinks, clicked on update permalinks

    still shocked. :)
