Hopefully I can get some help. Using WP2.0 and installed Simpletags 2.0 as well. I followed the instructions as indicted at "http://www.broobles.com/scripts/simpletags/" . What's happening is that the "Tags:" are showing up inline with the text instead of at the bottom of the article. The indicated tags link to the technorati site just fine. My site is at www.treas-tech.com if anyone would like to see an example of the problem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

oh BTW, I'm using the Journalized Sand theme if that make a difference. Thanks again for any help.

You're also using div class="simpletags" to display the tags, so you should look at your CSS for presentation issues.

Can you give me a hint as to what I'm looking for? I'm not up to speed with CSS.

Thanks,

If you are not up to speed with CSS, then you're better off not displaying the tags with CSS. So, instead of using divs, just use something like this:

[mtreas]

Thanks for your help Ivan, it looks like its still doing the same thing. These are some of the settings I've used and the tags still display the same:

//$pre_replacement = '<p>Tags: ';
//$post_replacement = '</p>';

//$pre_replacement = '<div class="simpletags">Tags: ';
//$post_replacement = '</div>';

$pre_replacement = '<p><small>Tags: ';
$post_replacement = '</small></p>';

//$pre_replacement = '<p>Technorati Tags: ';
//$post_replacement = '</p>';

// $pre_replacement = '<div class="simpletags">Technorati Tags: ';
// $post_replacement = '</div>';

I've even changed themes thinking that may help but to no avail.

Very strange. Have you tried it with other posts too? What other plugins do you have installed?

[mtreas]

I have google sitemaps, simpletags, wordpress DB Backup and adsense. I have others but for the sake of troubleshooting, I disabled the others. As far as customizations, I've only configured only within the wordpress dashboard. I wanted to get very comfortable with how everything works before I start tweaking anything.

[Ivan]

Can you try adding the tags to another post. It's suspicious that the tags appear just after the double quotes.

[mtreas]

I added tags to the word spam on the second article and the same thing happened. Another strange think is that it's hyperlinking the actual word bieng tagged. From what I understand, it's not supposed to. Is this correct?

[Ivan]

I'm running out of ideas. Two things remain:

1. Have you modified anything else in the code except the pre and post replacement variables?

2. Try turning off all the plugins except SimpleTags and see if that solves the problem. What Adsense plugin are you using?

[Guest]

No I haven't modified anything else. I'm using the adsense written by Phil Hord (version 0.1).

Ok, I deactivated everything except for Simpletags and it's still doing the same thing.

I'm not too sure if it's related but I'm also having a problem with the <!--more--> tag. Once I insert it onto my article, any subsequent insertions so not work when the article is viewed. It just shows one complete article.

Could the two problems be related?

[Ivan]

Yes, it might be related. I just double checked SimpleTags on a post with the "More" tag and it worked fine, both with inline tags and with a taglist at the bottom.

[Guest]

Ok hopefully this will shed some light on the subject...

[tag]Computer crimes[/tag] - This correctly displays the tag at the bottom of the article as one word.

[tags]Computer crimes[/tags] - This displays Tags: Computer crimes inline with article text.

From what I understand anything within the [tags]....[/tags] should be tagged as individual tagged words. Is this correct?

So should I just use [tag]Computer crimes[/tag] ?

Thanks,

Yes, you should be using [tag]xxx[/tag] in the text. You can have multiple occurrences of these in a post. You should use [tags]xxx, yyy[/tags] only at the end of the post. If in doubt or need more details, please check the example on the SimpleTags page.
