Tags disappear in Editor ( but not in quick edit)

  • I have a post tag named “featured”, which is used by twentyfourteen theme.

    Now when editing Posts, I can not assign the existing tag “featured” any more in the the tags metabox in the right column of the editor. This has been working up until just recently. If I add the tag and hit enter within the tags field, the tag is there just like the others (grey box with an X). As soon as I save the post, the tag disappears. Also, when I type the tag name, the autocomplete fails, giving me no indication that a tag “featured” is existind. This does not happen with any other tag.

    In addition, while I tried to create posts with this tag, I saw that multiple tags named “featured” were created, all with the same name “featured” but having ascending numbers in the slug (featured-1,featured-2,featured-3 …)

    What’s going on here?

    If I try to assing tags using the QuickEdit in the post overview, everything works as expected, so I thought it might be a gutenberg problem …

    Additinally I should have mentioned that I tried it with the Gutenberg plugin, latest Version, both activated and deactivated, the behaviour was identical. Everything else (WordPress itself and all other plugins) is up-to-date, too.

    Meanwhile I found out that there is a setting in the Twentyfourteen Customizer ( in the “Featured Content” section ) which is supposed to hide the special featured tag from being displayed in the frontend. If I disable the setting, the feautured tag can be set.

    However as it stands this setting does not only hide the tag in the frontend but also prohibits the tag being set in the editor. It is possible to set the tag when using quick edit.

    So is this a bug in the editor or in the template?
