Tags Unsearchable

Thanks for your question and for your patience in awaiting my response while I was traveling and without Internet access.

You wrote “The categories seem to be searchable but the tags are not.” Can you give more details on what “searchable” means, i.e., the steps you are using to search for assigned terms? When I type into the text box under the “Add New” label I get a list of the tags matching the text I am entering. Are you doing something different?

You wrote “I noticed when I bring up one of the images in the add media area there are Xs over the tags that are not in the image name.” I’ve just run a quick test and discovered that the latest WordPress release has changed the styling of the “Tags” area. The “Xs” are supposed to be clicked on to delete an assigned term. This looks like an MLA defect and I will investigate further. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I will leave this topic unresolved and post an update when I have progress to report.

I have uploaded a new MLA Development Version dated 20190306 that contains a fix for the issue you reported. You can find step-by-step instructions for using the Development Version in this earlier topic:

PHP Warning on media upload with Polylang

It would be great if you can install the Development Version and let me know if it works for you. I will leave this topic unresolved until I hear back from you. Thanks again for alerting me to this MLA defect.

I have released MLA version 2.79, which contains the fix for your issue.

I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any trouble with the new version. Thanks again for your help with this MLA improvement.
