Tag Cloud links don't work – all point to my home page

    All of the tags in my tag cloud just point to my homepage ( ie: http://www.mydomain.com).

    If I have a tag of “green” then it should point to a page called http://www.mydomain.com/green, right?

    I recently upgraded to 3.3 but I can’t say for sure when the tag cloud stopped working.
    I am using the tweaker3 theme.
    To troubleshoot, I just installed and activated the “Configurable Tag Cloud” plugin. It installed fine and I like the options, but has the same issue. The links still all point to my homepage.

    Is there some path that needs to be updated or something?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just a guess, but if you are using ‘pretty’ permalinks, try resetting them to the default to see if the tag cloud works. Then, set them back to the current setting.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Hmmm. Well you’re definitely on to something!

    When I changed it back to the default, then the tag cloud works.

    But, when I try to change it to the setting that I have been using “Month and Name”, or just “Post Name” then its still broken.

    Does the above behavior give you any better idea where the issue may be?

    Unfortunately, that doesn’t narrow it down very much. Perhaps you have a plugin that is interfering, or maybe something in your theme.

    If you have any plugins related to permalinks, try disabling them.

    Also, try switching to the default theme using the non-working permalinks and see if that works.

    Thanks again. No luck yet but I appreciate the advice.

    I changed to Twenty Eleven (which I think is the default theme right?). I still had the same behavior.

    I deactivated any plugin that I thought had anything to do with links (and most of the rest of them too) but nothing has changed yet. I’ll keep trying later this evening.

    Just following up on my last post.

    I deactivated *every* plugin and the behavior of the tag cloud stays the same:
    If I use the default permalinks then the tag cloud works fine but if I try to use other versions of the permalinks then all of my tag cloud links just point to my homepage.
