Where is the admin tag box in my page edit screen?

    I’ve always had my categories box and tag box show up in every post AND page edit admin screens. But all of a sudden, they’re not there. I was finally able to find a plugin for categories, “Map Categories to Pages,” but it’s not quite the same. But I CANNOT find any plugin that would do the same for my tags.

    What happened?! Was it the most recent update to WordPress? I’ve checked my Screen Options drop-down tab on the edit page/post screen, but none of it applies to categories and tags. I see all the tags I established already in Posts > Tags, but that tag box ONLY shows up in post edit screens. It used to show up in the edit screens for BOTH page and post. I need it for my pages, too!

    I would include my site, but the issue is only in the admin screens.

  • Have you tested by deactivating all plugins, and switching to 2011 theme?

    You may have developed a conflict with one of those…

    Unfortunately, I need the current theme I have, Graphene, which didn’t conflict after I updated it a while back. I’ve had it for a long time now and it’s always worked so smoothly with WordPress, unlike a lot of other themes I’ve tried.

    It’s only just this week this started happening. Wouldn’t it be an included feature with WordPress, not subject to conflict? I mean, like the editor – that’s there no matter what’s going on, plugin- or theme-related. I always thought those tag and categories boxes were standard elements of the edit pages.
