A user, tknospdr, reports an issue with an auto-tagging automation not applying tags to topics despite appearing to run correctly in the admin interface. The automation is configured to tag topics based on post creation, within specific categories, and using a tag from a group. j.jaffeux requests a screenshot of the configuration, which tknospdr provides, showing the trigger, category, and tag settings. tknospdr later realizes the issue: the target tag was in a group restricted to specific categories, and the test topics were posted outside of those allowed categories. j.jaffeux acknowledges the resolution.
I just created an automation and tested it. According to the admin interface it’s run twice, but the results are not showing on the site.
Type: Auto Tag Topic
Trigger: Post created
Topic Type: All Topics
Categories defined (tests posted in defined categories)
Valid tag defined (it’s part of a tag group if that matters)
Nothing else selected.
Made 2 new topics but they don’t show the tag, and when I check the tag it says zero posts are using it.
Can you take a screenshot of your whole automation configuration please?
I was being dumb. The tag I was trying to set was in a group that had been set to only be allowed to be used in X categories, and where I was using it was not part of X.
Glad you figured this out, sorry I missed your previous answer.
