[Plugin: IWG Faster Tagging] 2.8 update by a fellow user

I just upgraded to 2.8.2 and found that this plugin (IWG Faster Tagging) is not currently compatible. I tried another plugin (Simple Tags) which has lots of great features, but is way more than I am interested in. IWG Faster Tagging does exactly what I want and does it really well.

So I spent a chunk of time today trying to figure out what needed changing in the plugin for it to work with WordPress 2.8.2.

Disclaimer: I am NOT the author. I take no responsibility for this code. Use at your own risk. I make no claims that I even know what I’m doing. ?? I strongly recommend that you make backups of anything important before trying out this code. Additionally, I don’t know how well the code will post below, so there may be formatting errors introduced.

Having said all that, the changes that I’ve made do seem to be working in my installation. Also, I’ve tried to leave the original code (commented out) so that it is clear what I have changed. I hope this will save the plugin author some work and also facilitate an official update from them sooner than later.

??

Here’s the code:
iwg_faster_tagging.js (replace ALL of the code this file with the below).
