Exactly the same problem here but on an existing WPMU site: http://learninglab.lincoln.ac.uk/blogs/tags/
Joss, it looks like you may have the plugin working now. Is that true? In any case, one reason I created a new instance of wpmu was so I could install the site-wide tag plugin before any new blogs were created. Still no luck for me.
OK, got it to work after a little mucking around. Here is what I did:
Deleted the Global Tag Blog
Removed the sitewide-tags.php file from within the folder it came in.
Added the sitewide-tags.php to the mu-plugins folder.
All is good so far!
Well, I can not do the last, because I would like all the posts to apear in the main blog. Or can I delete my main blog and recreate it? I mean the blog without subdomain. Any idea?
After having the same problem myself, I figured out that it was a simple bug in the plugin causing the issue. Here’s all you need to do to solve the “phantom checkbox” issue.
Line 40 of sitewide-tags.php has an if() line in it telling the plugin to output a certain code if it’s enabled. This code will make the checkbox checked! However, rather than outputting the correct code, ‘checked=”checked”‘, it was simply outputting ‘checked’. Just copy and paste in a new line 40:
<label><input name="tags_blog_enabled" type="checkbox" id="tags_blog_enabled" value="1" <?php if( get_site_option( 'tags_blog_enabled', 0 ) == 1 ) { echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?>" /> <strong><?php _e("Enabled","wpmu-sitewide-tags"); ?></strong></label><br />
And things should work just fine. Tell your friends 😉
Yeah, I am running wpmu 2.8.4a and have installed Version 0.3.2 of this plugin.
And I got nothing.
Nothing shows in the new blog Global Posts at all. Only the default Hello World post that is put there when the plugin creates the new blog. I’ve tried adding posts to other blogs (including my main /blog) and nothing shows in the Global Posts Blog. Can anyone confirm that this plugin works for 2.8.4a?
