HeadSpace2 – Problems with WordPress 3 (Post Tags)

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!
