Adding tags – authors
-
At our site only the editors or admins can add tags. All others authors can just use the already existing tags. How can we allow authors to add their own tags?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It looks like that is a design feature for WordPress.com, to allow more granular security options for users. It looks like if you want to add something like that you probably need to go with WordPress.org, and host your own blog.
Is it a problem to make someone an editor on the blog so they can manage tags? Do you just not want them to be able to unpublish other users’ posts and the like?

Hi there,
This is a known issue. Please have your authors use the classic post editor as there are no issues like this when using it.See > Authors can’t add tags to post using the new editor
