Sorry if this sound stupid, but I just can't see where the populated posts are located. I checked the posts and the pages, but I don't see any new entries (and yes, I finished the installation as mentioned).

Anyone? I thought this should be pretty simply, just activate and go, right? Didn't really seem so now.

Did you go to the settings page and go through the setup/configuration screen?
I followed the installation procedure exactly, but the problem is, what's next? In the installation screen, it keeps mention of a tags blog, but I don't see any new blogs added or new pages, or new posts. So where is it? Where do I enable the feature? That's my question.

PS: Is there a shortcode associated?

The admin screen is under Network Admin -> Settings menu.
I understand, but how do I display the posts. I have tried to populate the posts, but where are they shown?

What did you set for the tags blog? The main site?
yes, I did

Then the posts should be in the main site. Note that SWT skips hello world posts.
Well, then, how come that I don't see it. I mean, where should I expect to see it?

In the list of blog posts.

Are any of your sub sites public?
Yes, But like I mentioned in the beginning, I don't see any new blog posts.

Perhaps a link to your site might be helpful?
Could you describe the steps you took when you installed it?
yes, my main site is located at http://www.centilin.com. Currently, I've just added a few posts from my blog site to the main site, and use them as front page titles using PHP short code. However, I'm not able to pull posts from the blog site, hence I would like to use this plugin instead.

Have you written a new post on one of the subsites since you installed SWT?
Nope, and I don't see any new options when trying to write a new post either.

SWT doesn't add any new options when writing a post. Try writing & publishing a new post on a sub site then look at the tags blog.
Well, what do you mean by the tags blog?
Angela
Hi Ron. Do I understand that the plugin will only duplicate NEW posts and ignore old, already existing ones?
If Yes, isnt this pointless? Or else, how can I make the plugin duplicate into the new tags blog, the posts that are already posted in the sub-blogs?
Also, in the options screen of the plugin, there is the Enabled tickbox in the very beginning. Under it, there is a field for putting the custom, dedicated sub blog for tags.. If I choose the option below, which says " Post to main blog".. Do I have to leave the field blank or what ?? The settings interface do lack lots of explanatory information.
Now I am actually still dont fully understand what the plugin does. Does it pull the tags and display them on the main blog, and link each tag to the original posts in the sub blogs.. or actually duplicate all posts in the sub blogs to the main blog and duplicate their tags?
In other words, does the plugin simply index the posts, or copy them to the main blog?? If it does COPY them, isnt this pointless too and only like burden on the server resources ??
Okay, to test it, I just created a new post in the very same sub blog "tags" that is supposed to contain the sitewide tags.. but nothing appeared, nor in the main blog neither in that tags blog itself (except from the post itself of course)..
UPDATE
Okay, It seems I managed to solve it.
I am using the plugin "Multisite Plugin Manager" .. with which I activate the plugins I install on my network (instead of doing so via the native plugins manager). I had to "ACTIVATE ALL" (for all blogs) the Site Wide Tags plugin, and only after that, and after hitting the "populate" button in the Sitewide Tags plugin, that the posts now appear in the main blog and the tags blog.
But one thing.. it seems that it does indeed duplicate the posts, but shouldn't it simply link them ??
You dont have to answer my inquiries above, just posted them in a new post that also contains important feedback.
