[Plugin: Simple Tags] wp 2.7 ?

maybe asking the theme author would be more productive

a guy posted this to make simple tags compatible with wp 2.7:

OPEN FILE simple-tags.php AND FOUND ROW CONTAIN

if ( strpos($wp_version, ‘2.5’) !== false || strpos($wp_version, ‘2.6’) !== false )
{

ADD SOME TO THIS ROW AS SHOWN BELOW

if ( strpos($wp_version, ‘2.5’) !== false || strpos($wp_version, ‘2.6’) !== false ||
strpos($wp_version, ‘2.7’) !== false ) {

AND ALL FEATURES WORKING in WP2.7!

That hack worked for me. I’m testing things out on 2.7 and it seems to be working fine. The only problem I notice on the admin side is that it does not play nice with the new drag and drop ordering of the edit post screen.

The features pertaining to the posts page are working fine for me, but the ST tag cloud widget doesn’t appear to work. Neither does the tag cloud page. I’m testing it with WP 2.7.2.

Looking inside the plugin’s folder, I see subfolders named 2.3 and 2.5. I wonder if a folder needs to be created for 2.7 – particularly since the widget is found within the subfolders.

excuse me if i am a little concerned but..is there any way to know is this plugin is gonna be updated and if it is not, what other plugin can i use which is compatible with wp 2.7 and also able to import simple tags features and tags?? thanks

Simple Tags Source Of Huge CPU load and server crashes

Just want to make everyone aware that this plugin while it did work for some time has now become the source of a huge number of mysql calls and causes the cpu load to max out and crash the server.

It pobably works okay on a small site but I have have 3,826 posts and 2,794 tags. Those tags are reproduced of 60,000 times.

Is anyone aware of another option ?

Specifcally I need a better “adding tags” interface than wp.

I also need to be able to add a tag and then “autotag” all previously written posts that may also match that tag. It could run as a cron job once a day to update all tags. The auto taggin feature in Simple Tags is the main reason I’m trying to persist with it.

This worked for me! Thanks!

well, the version 1.5.8 which is supposed to be compatible with wp 2.7 is out, but I have a problem: the settings of the widget are never saved ;-( it insists on keeping the default values ?? anyone else experiencing this?

oops. after saving a couple of times the settings were finally saved.

PLEASE HELP!!!

I would like to insert a tag cloud trough my theme, with php, I userd this, but it doesnt show up:

<?php st_related_tags(); ?>

I want to show all tags, how should I do?

thanks

Use this <?php st_tag_cloud(); ?>
