Dodo, sorry for the late reply. Could you provide more detail as to what is going on? Are you sure this is the only plugin you are having a problem with?

This is not a forum script, sir. This is a WordPress plugin and it's doubtful you did "everything."

@Thomas -did you manage to figure out what is happening with Simple Tags and Excluded words?

@Thomas – No error with Simple Tags, just it does nothing.
Without Simple Tags activated, it works adding new tags, but None of excluded words are excluded.

@Mark ~ Your second point is certainly a nice feature, but simply too much work for me to code in. How would one go about creating a plugin which can capture every mulit-word eventuality? Particularly for topic-specific blogs full of arcane words and phrases? It might be possible to create a user-editable whitelist, but its not on the agenda currently. The plugin is designed for laziness and forgetfulness, not necessarily completeness!

This also goes to point #4: the idea is that this plugin gaurantees that you have tags in all posts. It's not designed to add tags even though you've already added them. After all, what would be the point of adding tags if you're not also adding keywords from the title? You either are or are not manually putting tags in. I don't think that adding such a feature as this would be in keeping with the design idea of Titles2Tags, so this will probably not be implemented.

I've not had a chance to go back and look at this plugin in a while. I'll have to check out the problem with Simple Tags. Did you get an error message, or what? I'll have to figure out the excluded words thing. None of the excluded words are working? Or is the list not editable?

Thomas, I did some more testing.
Titles2Tags works in 2.8.5 only if Simple Tags is not activated.
Of course Simple Tags is needed to tag pages and feeds, so Titles2Tags needs some fix to work together with Simple Tags.

Second point is – it tags single keywords, but not the whole title, eg.
If title is "Tiger Woods" – I want tag "tiger woods", and not "tiger" and "woods"

Third point – Excluded Keywords don't work in 2.8.5.

Fourth – still needs an option to add tags, when other tags exists (not duplicates).

With those 4 points resolved, it would be the best plugin!

I do everything on WP! – but this plugin says that is compatible up to 2.7.
Is it tested on 2.8.5? It didn't work for me.

And having an option to add title tag to existing tags (not duplicates) it would be very cool.

Mark ~ the nature of tagging is such that it wouldn't necessarily make sense to create multiples of the same tag, unless there is some other purpose for which you are using them. Anyway, looks like you've decided not to go with WP anyway.l Best of luck!
