   Hi,

   when adding new tags to a post, there is no box with tag suggestions popping up; that is, there actually _appears_ a box, but instead of tag suggestions it just contains a "-1". This only happens when looged-in as a normal WP user. When signed in as administrator, the tag hints show up as expected.

   Any idead what could be causing this (and how to fix it)?

   Thanks in advance,

   --Edmond

   Edmond,

   I'm experiencing a similar problem with the new 2.7 RC2 though nothing is suggested in the Tags box at all even for my admin account.

   Hi all,
   i found a way to correct the "bug". I think it was a developper's choice to only permit to advanced users (those who can manage categories) to use tags ;).
   So, to correct the comportment you have to edit wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.
   Line 43 and line 426 you'll find : if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_categories' ) )
   comment this line like this :
   //if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_categories' ) )
   and replace it by :
   if ( !current_user_can( 'read' ) )
   By the way a user who can read posts will be able to use tags in the create/edit area ;).

   PS. for information this "bug", and this solution apply for the 2.7 release too.

   Amicably,

   Pierre
