Tag permalink not working correctly

    Not sure why this randomly stopped working, but whenever I enter mywebsite.com/?tag=Toyota, it should bring up all of my posts that deal with Toyota, but instead it gives me a 404. Why is it doing this? I checked my permalink structure and I’m still using the “ugly” structure. Any help?

    A link to your site would help.

    Can you provide a link to some pages that actually contain some tags?

    If you click on Artist Spotlight on the right, it’s supposed to take you to all the posts with the tag ‘artistspotlight’

    Are you sure that you have posts tagged with ‘artistspotlight’? Have you checked your theme’s tag template file (tag.php or perhaps archive.php)?

    Yes I do have posts that are tagged with ‘artistspotlight’ and this happens with every tag.

    What do you mean by checking my theme’s tag template file? What am I looking for?

    If you have a tag.php file, you could try temporarily removing it from your theme. One of the other template files will kick in (archive.php, I think) which would help to confirm whether it’s a problem in tag.php.

    Looks like I don’t have a tag.php file, only an archive.php file. So I’m guessing that the problem would be with the archive.php then?

    It would seem so. However, I’d suggest that you start by copying archive.php and renaming the new file tag.php. Then drop a copy of the new tag.php file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here. Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem and suggest a solution.
