    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
