HeadSpace2 – Problems with WordPress 3 (Post Tags)

Friday, June 18th, 2010 | Business | by

I just noticed that “Post Tags” doesn’t work now that I’ve installed WordPress 3.  When you type the default text doesn’t go away, and the Add button doesn’t do anything.

The culprit seems to be HeadSpace2.  If you disable the plugin, Post Tags work again.

If you want to keep it on, you can always add tags through the post listing page and “Quick Edit”.

I haven’t tested this, but I’d bet if you turned off the Post Tag “Suggest” functionality in HeadSpace2, Post Tags would work again.

UPDATE – 2010/06/27

Just got an email from Urban Giraffe saying that HeadSpace has been updated to version 2.6.33.  I’ve tested, and it fixes the problem — thanks guys!

Thanks for the tip about turning off the Post Tag “Suggest” functionality in headspace2, I can confirm this solved the problems I was having.

uploading new images on the post also is solved when headspace2 is disabled on wordpress 3.0

I don’t use headspace2, but I’m also having the same problem.. So it’s possible that other plugins are causing problems with WP 3.0 as well. In my case, I’m guessing that it’s either Add Meta Tags or SEO Title Tag that are causing the problems.

Thank you for this!
@estqwerty – you only have to disable the ‘Tags’ under /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=headspace.php&sub=modules and not the entire plugin

I did this before to find this post (it’s the same solution, but on code side…).

I changed inside headspace-tags.js on line 76:

var words = Array();//$(get_tag_element ()).val ().toLowerCase ().split (‘,’);

Problem is in that get_tag_element() function trying to get a DOM element referred by a disappear ID.

Anyway, we are all safe now :P

Nice! I wish I could get in there and fix the code, may try to get involved with the project just to eliminate the headache.

I had a big problem with headspace2 rendering the Event Calendar plugin by Alex Tingle inoperative and it also prevented the edit post page from opening the help files, screen options and toggling.

Thanks for suggesting: I haven’t tested this, but I’d bet if you turned off the Post Tag “Suggest” functionality in HeadSpace2, Post Tags would work again. Where can that functionality option be found?

TIA
