Unable to Tag Any Posts
-
HELP!!! I’m unable to add tags to any new posts or link any current tags to already published posts. Could I have deleted an option somewhere or am I missing something? When creating a new post, the “Category” and “Publish” modules are on the side, but there is no “Tag” module on the side or on the bottom. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Tags and categories can only be assigned to posts. posts and Pages are very different. We cannot assign categories and tags to them

- You could have a browser issue so try changing your browser settings, refreshing the page, or clearing the browser cache and cookies – instructions for specific browsers.
- Note that when you make adjustments to your browser settings — changing privacy settings, deleting cookies or increasing security — you will need to close your window and restart the browser before those new settings become effective.
- You could try upgrading your browser.
- You could try using another browser.
- You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date.
- If it’s not up to date then this is where to download and install the latest version of flash.

If that does not work for you please tell us which browser and version of it you are using.

Thanks for the info. However, I’ve tried it with Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari, and nothing changes. Currently, I’m using Firefox, but mostly use Safari.
I’m actually beginning to wonder if I removed or deleted something that is needed for the Tag function to work. I remember deleting some links from the Link/Blogroll widget. Could that have removed my ability to tag? I’m really new at blogging and I hope I didn’t change anything…

Yes that’s what the problem is. Go here > Appearance > Themes > Theme Options and locate enable this
Tag cloud __ No thanks! I’d rather not have the Spectrum tag cloud in my blog footer.
Remove the checkmark and “save options” -
oops! I meant to say “disable” and not “enable” but the instructions are the same. remove the checkmark and click “Update Options”.

Also note on an unrelated issue I see that you have created a very long and ineffectual tagline from the SEO (search engine optimization) point of view.

Thanks for the extra information!! Updating now. However, that box was already unchecked in the “theme options”. It’s like the tag feature has been totally removed from my account. Could there be other areas to check to bring tagging back?!

I’m sorry we we unable to resolve it but at least we traced down exactly what the problem is.

Just wanted to let you know that I now have the solution to why I couldn’t tag anything. The tag module in the edit post page was disabled.
It is enabled by opening the Screen Options tab at the top right when the post page is up.
