[Plugin: Simple Tags] When can we expect WP 2.8 fix

Is Simple Tags working with everyone for WP2.8 now? I had to uninstall this on my installations due to conflicts with the WP2.8 system I’m running.

No, I just upgraded to 2.8.1 and saw the Javascript error.

Doesn’t work for me–click on tags from the list of all tags doesn’t actually add them to the list.

Recommended Tags doesn’t work either (same problem), but I think we may have figured out a fix.

It never worked for me (2.8 and up), anyway, all I actually need is a simple “click tag” plugin.

I visited his blog and he does state (in French) that he’s working on a 2.8 compatible version and to be patient…

For me, it has been a really frustrating up and down process with Simple Tags. Finally last night for the first time, I was able to customize the color, size, quantity of Tag Cloud and some changes to Related posts but today the widget simply refuses to update. I am able to make updates to other widgets. Is there a fix in WP 2.8.+????

Well, it seems no luck yet. I just left a message – in French no less – for the plugin author. There is no update as to when he may be releasing the new version, only that he is working on it. Any good alternatives out there?

By process of elimination, I found that Simple Tags has a problem with the TinyMCE editor in WP 2.8.4. When Simple Tags is enabled, my TinyMCE editor is not working in Firefox 2 but does work in Firefox 3. I cannot edit my page/post text, cannot add text because nothing shows up in the editor box. Also, some features of the WP admin are not available either. Hope this helps.

Had to disable and remove this plugin, because I lost a lot of functionality with the WordPress 2.8.4 client. For example, I can’t schedule posts for future publication, which I do twice a week, every week.

As someone else posted, too many bugs to list. Great idea, but buggy implementation at this point.
