Hi Barry,
I've found something weird in Global Site Tags plugin. Apparently works well and indexes the following posts I've introduce it but the URL that is generating is not correct or at least something is not working properly.
Our development environment is http://pre-binefar.global-communities.com and this is our main site. The post-indexer indexes right the following post I introduced it hence showing it in the Global Site widget,
I'm sending here two screens that try to show the issue.
Is there any chance that problem may caused by having installed previously the 1.0.x version of post-indexer? I don't drop any of the related tables before installing the 2.0.x version.
Hi Aaron,
I've tried it but it doesn't work. The post-indexer should be storing the links to the posts pointing to the right blog (i.e: the blog where the post belongs) isn't it?
The post indexer should be yes, but the global tags plugin creates it's own tags page and permalinks - can you check that a tags page has been created in your pages list?
I'm having the same problem. Links are created in the widget but clicking on these links gives me a blank page. There is no "tags" page generated in my page list and if I go to my sitename/tags there is nothing there.
@Ovidiu - with the new WP3 taxonomy it ended up being new tags / old tags or a huge overhead in queries and merging in order to have both - so for this version I picked just new tags I'm afraid.
@Barry - I tried creating a tags page and it auto generated a "sitename/tags-2" page. I looked at the page directory I can't find an original tags page anywhere. I'm sure it was originally created however when using the older version of the plugin. I must have deleted the page but since it has been created in the past the link is no longer available? Again, I'm pretty naive when it comes to this. Is there a way I can go into my database and delete something which will then allow me to recreate the tags page?
@David - if you look in the wp_posts (or wp_1_posts) table for something with a post_name of "tags" and a post_type of "page" - if you find it, try removing it completely and then re-creating from within WP and see if it will allow you to use the tags permalink.
@Barry - thanks so much! That was it! As soon as I recreated the tags page everything started working finally, including the widgets. I really appreciate your help.
I've check all you have said before, but my web still doesn't show the tabs pages, it shows a 404 error every time I click in a tag. For exemple, if I click in the tag 'uno' of http://pre-binefar.global-communities.com , it sends to a page
Hi everybody
I created the tag page and try to recreate the indexes by updating each one of the posts and the issue keeps on. The URL for tags is giving to me a 404 error.
@Lena What is the permalinks for the tags page. I ran into this problem as well. When I created the new tags page the permalink was .../tags-2. I couldn't edit it down to just ".../tags" because it had existed previously. I had to go into the database and eliminate the field before I could create a new tags page with only the .../tags ending. Once I did this, everything worked fine.

Try going to Settings->permalinks and hit save which will refresh your rewrite rules.

Just updated from the last global tags version to this one and the tags page says: There are no tags to display.
weird, I assumed it would at least continue showing the old tags !?

@David - if there isn't a tags page created automatically by the plugin the you will need to create one - see:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/global-site-tags - about half way down.
@Ovidiu - with the new WP3 taxonomy it ended up being new tags / old tags or a huge overhead in queries and merging in order to have both - so for this version I picked just new tags I'm afraid.

@Barry: no problem, was just worried I did something wrong. I don't mind starting fresh...

Hello again
I've check all you have said before, but my web still doesn't show the tabs pages, it shows a 404 error every time I click in a tag. For exemple, if I click in the tag 'uno' of http://pre-binefar.global-communities.com , it sends to a page
http://pre-binefar.global-communities.com/tags/uno/
that it can't be found ... instead of this page, the tag is in http://pre-binefar.global-communities.com/1erteniente/tag/uno/
So I don't know what to do and what is really happening
Thanks in advance

Any Idea please?

@joselper - that's a bit strange - what are your permalink settings at the moment (on the Settings -> permalinks page)?
Member — 19th October 2010 (1 year ago) #
Hi Barry,
I decided by SEO issues to setup custom permalinks as you can see in the image attached.

hi
Obliged to mention I have the same issue. The tags are mentionned, but links go on "not found" page :(
post indexer an GST last versions of course :(
Lifetime member! — 23rd October 2010 (1 year ago) #
Must also mention that pages are indexed. Normal ?
Lead Developer — 23rd October 2010 (1 year ago) #
Try hitting save on the permalinks page to refresh them.
Developer — 24th October 2010 (1 year ago) #
@joselper - as a quick test, can you switch the permalinks to one of the other options and see if that does anything, then switch it back?
Just wondering if the custom-permalink setting is affecting things or not.

Hi.
Same problem as Aphrodite after the upgrade of post-indexer and global-tags
I tried all possible settings of Permalinks. Nothing worked.
Any help?

Hiya stergatu,
Barry's looking into this and will report back with anything he finds.
Thanks for your patience!
Developer — 25th October 2010 (1 year ago) #
@stergatu - did the plugin create a page with a slug of tags in your site? If not can you try creating one yourself and see if that works
Member — 26th October 2010 (1 year ago) #
@barry hi.
The tags page is OK but the link to each tag doesn't work and I get a "page does not exist".
You can check it on http://blogs.sch.gr/tags/
Note I'm using wp3.01 & buddypress 1.2.5.2 & multidb 3.0.2 .
I have upgraded from the previous version the tag and post-indexer plugins.
I have also tried to delete the tags page and created a new one but the problem remains.
Thanks in advance

Hi David.
I'm not sure if I unterstand correctly what you mean.
If you mean the value for the field 'post_name' in wp_1_blogs table it's "tags".

Hi Barry, I've changed the permalinks settings and hit save to the articles and nothing happened.
