Not Able To Post New Topic Using Tags - Error

[Marc_S]

Whenever I try to create a new post / topic and use tags, it gives me an error. I have a group called “Anxiety & Panic Disorders” and a tag “depression”.

The tag does not have any restrictions on tags:

Why is it not allowing me to use this tag for the post in that group? This happens to a lot of my tags (if not all).

It looks like you might need to edit or configure some of the settings in your tag groups. Go to the all tags page (ie: yourforum.url/tags) and click the admin wrench in top right and select Manage Tag Groups.

Tried all of it. Including ticking the “Also allow other tags” Almost seems like a bug unless i’m missing some other setting found somewhere else other than the tag page setting.

I think you may have added those tags to a tag group and restricted that tag group to a specific category.

If you go to the #depression tag page and open up the tag wrench there does it give you any extra information on what category it can be used in?

Basic tag setup:

Admin guide to tags in Discourse

Configuring Tags Tag settings can be found in your admin panel under the “Tags” section of your site settings. [tag-site-settings] Tagging is enabled by default. To disable tags, ensure that the tagging_enabled setting is unchecked. Creating and applying tags Tags are created upon first usage. When composing or editing a topic, a us…

Tag groups and tag restrictions:

Set up structured tagging with tag groups and category tag restrictions

Tag support is a core feature of Discourse. In this How-To I’ll go through setting up a tag schema like Car Talk uses. We’ll want to achieve these things: Tags for car makes and car models. Only allow the car make and model tags to be used in certain categories. Car model tags can only be chosen if the matching car make tag is used. Prerequisites First, we need to enable tags in the settings: [tag enabling] In a schema where we’re strict about how tags are used, we should prevent most pe…

There’s no settings there. Just synonyms, title and description.

I’ve configured everything and gone through documentation. This almost feels like a bug.
