Can I ask whether this usually happens after
-an upgrade to WordPress core code
-an upgrade to a plugin if so which
-when you are low on memory?
Try running TOP in a console next time and log your serverload and memory.
Also what makes it start tagging again?
Next time try just going to the admin page and resaving your options and tell me if that helps.
Also how many tags do you have and how many posts?
Also try a “clean tags < 2 posts” to see if that fixes it.
These are all things that should not work (no logic to why they should) but seem for me when I get the same intermittent problem usually after a WordPress or Plugin update.
Please please let me know what works for you.
Thanks
Did any of those things help?
It would be good if you could let me and the rest of the users of the plugin know if you found something on that list that did work.
Thanks

Hi,
Can I ask whether this usually happens after
-an upgrade to WordPress core code
I don’t think so
-an upgrade to a plugin if so which
Not that I noticed, I’ll pay more attention from now on
-when you are low on memory?
Not that I’m aware
Try running TOP in a console next time and log your serverload and memory.
I looked into the console thing, seems a little too advanced for me, sorry
Also what makes it start tagging again?
Not sure as of now, I think maybe when I save the settings again its ok for a while.
Next time try just going to the admin page and resaving your options and tell me if that helps.
Will do.
Also how many tags do you have and how many posts?
I have it set to max tags 8 and i have about 40 posts at the moment with a new post daily.
Also try a “clean tags < 2 posts” to see if that fixes it.
That may be something to do with it, as just over a 100 tags got removed when i did that, the site I run it on is relatively new and hasn’t yet got a lot of the same tags in multiple posts
Yeah,I guess its a little hard to pin down why it’s happening right now, a little strange when this happens that it still bolds tagwords yet doesn’t make them tags. I’ll let you know if I notice what might be causing it. Thanks for your help and for your work on this great plugin.
Hi
Well I can tell you I get the same thing happening from time to time and I have yet to work out why it does it.
I have two sites both with 30,000+ posts and 5000 tags. Most posts come from automated feed importers that load articles in from feeds at various points through the day.
Personally I have noticed that
-when it’s not tagging I can still manually run the feed import and it will load in posts AND tag them ok.
-when I upgrade a WP version I have LOTS of problems. The last upgrade was a killer and I never really want to go through that again. I think almost every plugin I had just stopped working and when I just went to the plugin admin page and clicked “save” it got it working again. I can only think that the plugins get removed from WP cache or something stops them from being run. A re-save forces them to be re-loaded.
-I have also noticed this happens when I upgrade WP plugins like Jetpack.
At one point I thought it was memory but I use my https://wordpress.org/plugins/strictly-system-check/ plugin and it never reported on low memory/CPU etc. It reports on a lot of stuff that TOP does such as Disk Swapping, SQL queries running at the time, Apache Memory and PHP memory being used and slow queries / connections etc. Plus it tells you how fast your site is loading. It’s a real life saver plugin for me and I wrote it because I couldn’t find anything else that did anything similar.
I have only been able to determine that WP/Jetpack upgrades cause me lots of hassle across multiple plugins and also that when the tagging stops randomly a re-save of the admin options starts it again.
Why I don’t know?
Maybe with proof we could go to WP support and ask them what is going on?
