Can't access global tags from blog post
-
I exceeded the 10 tag limit on my blog post- Sorry I wasn’t aware of the change- Now when I try to click on a tag on my post I don’t go to the globasl post. I reduced my tags to ten. It still doesn’t work. What do I need to do to rectify this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. In order to assist you, we need the URL of your blog, starting with http:// please. Thanks.

I have noticed the same thing lately. After I publish a post, I like to surf the tags that I posted with my new post, but when I click on whatever one, it brings me to my blog with the tag showing archive. I’ve gone to other peoples blog and it does the same thing.. Before it used to bring me to the gloabal post of the related tag.. WTF is up with that

I’m having the same problem as wildernessbreathes: the tags on my blog no longer return results for other blogs … they just return me to all the related posts on my own blog.
What’s the point of that? After all, isn’t that what categories are for? Why would wordpress make this change … would they rather have more insular blogs than blogs that connect to others? That can’t be. I don’t get it. This is a bummer. -
Raincoaster said to do a forum search… so that you would find this:

Thanks for the direct link, airodyssey. It’s good to know that wordpress is working on something here. Hopefully this tags/catergories redundancy is temporary (I’ve read other forums and find arguments in favor of the tags change to be unconvincing.).

How long will WP’s “testing” of tags and categories go on? The reroute from Global Tags to individual blogs seems utterly pointless. And shouldn’t WP have publicized this change, however temporary, a little more loudly and more clearly than the way in which it has been mishandled? From my perspective, the change, whether it stems from a desire to censor or from mere smugness, was done in such a way as to create as many misunderstandings as possible. It seems to have been done to isolate, which is always a technique of the oppressor.
Not being a reader of forums (until just recently) I thought I and I alone had been dropped from Global Tags for some arcane motive. None of the usual reasons (adult content, spamming, set to private) applied to me, and when I first contacted “Support” over a month ago, the so-called Happiness Engineer didn’t bother to read my query all the way through — she just did a copy/paste of the same old information I’d already sifted through and rejected.
So apparently there still are Global Tags … only no one can access them, unless a person goes hunting for something specific. This is a waste of our time, and it feels like a cabal’s effort of narrowing down the amount of content that people can find or be exposed to.
In these forum pages, we are constantly reminded that WordPress is a free hosting service, and that the Bay Area code geek cabal has better, much better, things to do than pursue every little complaint of the nobodies, blah, blah, blah.
You get what you pay for, in other words. Or “cheap is cheap,” thus spake the Republi-mom in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.

This is a peer support forum where your fellow bloggers answer support questions. We do not make policy decisions. Staff have deactivated the support link over the weekend whilst they work on improving our level of service. The support link will be reactivated again early Monday, September 19th (UTC). At that time you can use it to share your feedback with them. After you click the support link and use the searchbox, under the search results, at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says “Have you found the answer to your question?” You can choose either “Yes I found the answer to my question.” or “No I didn’t find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help.” The no option will reveal the contact form. -
I haven’t even realized it wasn’t supposed to be this way. I have the same situation with all my posts – if I click on my tags it shows me around my posts only. In order to get to global tags page I have to type the address of the page myself in the browser’s address line.

That’s correct. Unless you find that the tags are displayed on this page http://wordpress.com under “tags” then it takes a couple of seconds to type what’s needed into your browser bar and click. See here for the format for all Tags links > http://en.support.wordpress.com/global-tags/
