New version of Simple Tags for 2.8 : 1.7 beta 1

I’m on WP 2.8.5 and Simple Tags 1.6.6 which appears to not be compatible with WP 2.8.5

When I have Simple Tags activated, I get a completely blank screen when I click on “Posts” to edit posts – no menu, nothing.

All is fine with WP 2.8.5 if I have Simple Tags deactivated.

I really like this plugin – any chance you can get it compatible with 2.8.5?

yes i am also using it very nice plugin

It`s compatible with 2.8.5 on my blog

I have two websites (wp 2.8.5) and both have Simple Tags 1.6.6. On first website it’s working fine, but on another I get blank page on admin page, and some missing widgets on front page.
It seems that plugin is incompatibile with other plugin.

Wondering if anyone else is having trouble or found a fix for this

I’ve tried deactivating ALL other plugins, but as soon as I activate Simple Tags 1.6.6 I have trouble – now I get a 500 server error when I try to access the link to view/edit either Posts or Pages – if I deactivate Simple Tags, the error goes away.

UPDATE: Tried previous version too to see if that was better (Simple Tags 1.6.5), no luck – still same error.

This is very frustrating……

I’ve updated my WP install to 2.8.6.

I have deactivate and deleted ALL plugins, then installed, activated, and ran Clean Options to clean out all orphaned options out of the DB, then optimized and repaired the DB.

If I install Simple Tags first and activate it, it works, but the minute I try to activate ANY other option, all I get is 500 errors on every screen – I have to use FTP to delete the Simple Tags folder, then all returns to normal.

What is it about Simple Tags that is causing this?

I really need a plugin to allow me to add Tags to Pages and this is the only plugin I could find that would do that, but I can’t get it to work.

I’m running WP 2.9 beta2 and Simple Tags 1.6.6 isn’t working with it. Is there anywhere I can download Simple Tags 1.7 beta1? I didn’t see it on the link provided above, including the “other versions” link.

The link to the dev build of Simple Tags (1.7b1)is actually located in “Other versions” page but you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and the last link you’ll see is “Development version”. Clicking on that link will download version 1.7b1

It does seem to be working correctly on WordPress 2.9 beta 2 but I haven’t tried it on 2.8.6 yet. Actually, version 1.6.6 works fine for me on 2.8.6.

Found it, thanks! And it works like a charm with 2.9b2.

I installed the development version on 2.8.6 and it seems to work ok, except for the widget: I cannot change the options (they aren’t saved and always return to de default settings).

Simple Tags 1.6.6 is not working with WordPress 2.9. I hope it gets updated; I really like this plugin.
