Causation and Correlation: A Study

Ever since we upgraded to WP 2.1, we’ve noticed tags sometimes disappearing at random from entries. Even crazier, entries all the way back to the beginning of the site were suddenly left tagless. I couldn’t see the pattern for awhile, but it finally leapt out at me the other day: any entry with a comment made to it loses its tags. Not only that, and perhaps far more disturbing, the tag entries are actually being deleted from the database. This confuses for quite a few reasons, first and foremost because I cannot think of any place in the comments-adding chain of events that would yield a delete call to the tags table.

Maybe… it treats the adding of a comment as it does the editing of the entry, and fails to preserve existing tags in the switch? Why only now on 2.1? Why on entries all the way back that haven’t been commented on since they change? Why, WordPress, have you forsaken me?

There’s apparently a sub-point upgrade available, so perhaps I’ll give that a go and see if it helps. In the mean time, please continue to comment. As annoying as it is that they’re being dropped, the show must go on, and we really like it when you give your two cents on an entry.

Thanks for sticking around for the past year.
