Hello,
I have updated my discourse instance with version 2026.2.0-latest.
Since then, **my popular tags** on **home page** are not correctly displayed anymore.
It displays :
**Étiquettes populaires**
**[[object Object] [object Object] [object Object] [object Object] [object Object][object Object] [object Object] [object Object] [object Object] [object Object]](https://discourse.net.intra.laposte.fr/tag/%5Bobject%20Object%5D)**
Any idea how to solve this problem ?
Regards.

Is this a customization, or does this also happen in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true)? If it’s a customization, you can disable it.
If you created it, you can fix it to be compatible with Discourse again, or if it was created by someone else you can report it to the author of the customization.

It was the “coloring tag” plugin. Needs to be updated to work with new discourse update I suppose

Has this been resolved? This problem cans up for me a few months ago… could be up to 6 months.
My tags display like this…
I was thinking it’s a temporary glitch that will be resolved very quickly, but apparently no.
What and when should we expect a fix please?

Where do you see that? Is that a component you are using?

Are you also using the [coloring tag](https://github.com/RailForWork/Discourse-Coloring-Tag) theme component? that was the earlier cause, and that component hasn’t been maintained by its author… so it should be removed
if you’re not using that component, please try [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and let us know if you see the same issue… we don’t have enough information to debug based on your report
