I noticed that now all of the link including “tags” in its URL does not work on my Discourse. Instead, “tag” is used. How can I change my old URLs set as a link automatically? There are many. So it’s totally impossible to change them manually. My Discourse us 2.9.0.beta4. [URL]

On my forums, which are very ordinary with no special setup, /tags/ has some kind of automatic redirect to /tag/. Note that I’m running the latest, 2.9.0.beta5 - I don’t know if this is something which changed. (It’s probably a good idea for you to update anyway.) Edit: but see below! I now agre…

Let’s pop in an example: :slight_smile: https://meta.discourse.org/tags/getting-started https://meta.discourse.org/tags/getting-started (though it doesn’t seem to like it when I wrap it in < > https://meta.discourse.org/tags/getting-started )

Ah, excellent example! So, indeed, while URLs for new requests (in the URL bar) get the redirection treatment, URLs from posts do not. Can you move this to the bugs category? I think that’s justified.

I thought that inline onebox example worked, but then it didn’t, and then it did again. And it does if you refresh the ‘oops’ page as well. :slight_smile: I’ve done a bit of digging and found this existing Contribute > Bug topic on what seems to be the same thing: [image] Sw…

Thanks for digging my bug report up. I’m a mere moderator on our forums and have no access to the database to edit all impacted posts. The main concern was to keep that one very prominent post functional, as it links to dozens of tags. So, that was a manual job.

Thanks everyone. If this is a bug and it remains as it is, I will change old URLs using “tags” to ones with “tag” manually. However, I want to know whether Discourse uses “tag”, not “tags” from now on. If Discourse thinks using “tags” as it was is better, I won’t fix my links on my forum. If Disco…

[image] nujabes: What do you think? Should I post this in the bug category? No need to repost - I’ve marked this topic and the previous bug report for some attention, and should hopeful have some information for you soon. :crossed_fingers:

OK. Meanwhile, I will leave disconnected links as they are.

I believe this has been fixed in: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17397 I’ve just checked against the examples I posted above and it seems to be working much more consistently now without needing a page refresh. Could you try updating your Discourse and seeing if this solves the issue …

Thanks for your prompt improvement. My forum uses 2.9.0.beta4. Should I update this to the latest 2.9.0.beta6?

The change of from "tags" to "tag" in its URL affects my Discourse since they are linked in many posts. How can I automatically change them?
