Description
Wordpress is generating duplicate tags when using the autocomplete to assign tags. Even though there is already a tag in database of the tag title and this was selected from the autocomplete, wordpress still generates a new tag. I believe this is happening because the text of the tag has an ampersand symbol in it.
So here is how to replicate the error.
- Create a tag in a post with an ampersand in the body of the tag. E.g A&A
- In tag editor change the slug of this tag to something different. E.g BB
- Create another post and in the tag box, type in the name of you tag.
- Select tag from autocomplete menu.
- Publish post
- Go to tag editor. Search for tag.
- You will see listed two, exactly the same tags but with different slugs. E.g A&A -> aa, A&A -> bb.
I have replicated this bug a number of times. I do not believe it any of the plugins I am using are doing this.
