tag problem

howdy, am having a problem since upgrading with my tag cloud. check ABA DSS - Free to Air Satellite TV Community - Tags none of the tags work. is there a rewrite setting i am missing?

Please try to add this in .htaccess file:
Options -FollowSymLinks

i have have two .htaccess, one in the doc root and one in /forum – the VBSEO stuff was in the one in /forum so that’s what I edited.
At the very bottom of the file, I added:

Options –FollowSymLinks

This gives you a “NO PERMISSION” error when you reload the site. Also, as overrides were not set to On as far as I could tell, I also tried it with this:

AllowOverride Options
Options –FollowSymLinks

Doing that gave us an Internal Server Error.

Please try to define other URL format for tag URLs (for instance, use "tag/" instead of "tags/").

where is this option? i only see forum urls, and blog urls. i am using RC5

It's in forum URLs section (you should click "+" to expand advanced settings).

grumble.... i turned off "Rewrite Tags URLs?" and it is still rewriting them sorta.
like when i mouse over the captain tag, it shows http://www.abadss.com/forum/tags.php?tag=captain, but when i click on it, it gets rewritten to http://www.abadss.com/forum/tag/captain/ and says page not found.

i am at a loss

Try to modify functions_vbseo.php file:
FIND:

PHP Code:

if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'tags' && $_GET['tag']) 


replace with:

PHP Code:

if(VBSEO_REWRITE_TAGS && THIS_SCRIPT == 'tags' && $_GET['tag']) 


that did it thanks!

I had the same problem - reason was, that I used Zoint tags before and there were still some files left. I deleted them and now it works.
