You are so nice to try to help me. Thank you. Truthfully, I am starting to feel guilty about it. LOL

No need to feel guilty about it. I figure if I can lend a hand to someone here, perhaps I’ll reap what I sow and get some of my issues resolved by someones help too. Plus, learn something new along the way.

Is your avatar an avatar of Mary Ann from Gilligans Island? Hehe

Lol – haven’t had that one yet! No, it’s my actual mug shot – lol.

Good to hear you’re issue is resolved! Cache can cause some issues, as it has for me in the past, so that was why I thought earlier to suggest disabling your cache if you were to deactivate and reactivate any widgets you had. But, it never occurred to me that perhaps it would have been a cache plugin causing your problem.

Actually, esmi was the one that provided you with the answer in regards to a plugin potentially being the problem. Okay, one less problem for someone now that you have your issue resolved. Now I need to figure out how to resolve the issues with my blog. Been stuck on some issues for several months now and it’s getting old – lol. You asked, “What is your blog?” well to answer that I currently have 4 blogs, but my WordPress blog is linkandblog. It’s a dot com. (Don’t want to spam the post here – lol).

Are you using a tag plugin of some sort? Or, did you in prior versions, before you did an upgrade? As esmi mentioned above in the 4th post, you could possibly be experiencing an issue with some codes still in your database, from like a prior plugin, creating a conflict.

Not sure how the tags are appearing on your front end without using tag widgets, or is that part of your template? In that you’re not using a tag widget, have you thought about trying that to see if it resolves the issue? If you added tag cloud codes into a java-script html widget, rather than using one of the tag widgets, perhaps that’s causing a conflict. Other than that, I’m running out of ideas for you. 😮

By the way I was not trying to shoot down your suggestion. It was good advice. And thanks for this help!

Hi 4everblu,
I didn’t think you were trying to shoot it down – lol. The only other thing I could think of is maybe it might have to do with the widget locations on your site. On your home page I saw the widget tags up at the top, and on the permalink you provided here, the tags were in a widget down below.

You might want to try and see if deactivating both the tag widgets and then reactivating them again might do the trick. When I did a theme change, a prior theme had a challenge with the categories widget, and for whatever reason I had to deactivate the widget, save the change, (moved it out of the active widget area) and then I reactivated it. Not sure if that would make a difference or not for the challenge you’re having. If you try that, disable your site cache (wp super cache, if you’re using it) from the admin panel first. Then deactivate and reactivate the tag widget and see what happens. Then don’t forget to reactivate your cache program.

Hope you find a resolve soon.

EDIT: It could possibly be a challenge with the theme, along with the combination of having the widget in two different locations. You might not be able to use the widget in two different locations. Dunno – just a wild guess on my part.

For 2.9.1 I don’t know where it is in the files, or if editing it is even recommended – that is if WP still has a tag limit to it in 2.9.1 as they did in prior versions.

Although it would take some time, it may be easier to consolidate some of your tag names. Looking at your site it could be confusing for your readers because you have so many tags that seem to be similar. It may be better to re-analyze your tag names and do a consolidation.

For example, you have Golfr20 in there quite a few times. Your tags are repetitious, so you could consider doing a consolidation. Just a suggestion, and that would allow you to also determine if a tag limit is the cause to your problem.
