Michael Collins Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hello, I am using the Most Used Tags application which is showing me the tags used on my forum posts. Through this I have noticed that when a tag is removed from a post it is not being removed from the database table core_tags. I did a clean up manually removing a lot of tags completely in each post, so now there are quite a few tags that are no longer in any forum post but they are still showing as present in the core_tags table. Can someone tell me why the tags are not being removed from the database table? For more info we are self-hosted and the tags were removed manually by clicking the x next to the tag at the top of a post. You can see the discussion and trouble shooting I had with the application owner here: Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Again Mike, your issue has absolutely nothing to do with my app. You have records in core_tags table that are not returning in search (tags) results. That's all. Michael Collins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Collins Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Yes as Adriano says, and to be more specific, I think those records should not be present in the table as they appear to be removed in the posts themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 No problem... just saying because probably you will be requested to contact the 3rd-party dev as there is a 3rd-party app involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Please could you first of all provide a couple of example tags you believe should not be present? Also ensure all your access details are up to date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Collins Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 @Marc Stridgen "1901 irish census", "1911 irish census", "1915 NY. Census" and "1916 easter irish rising" are all examples of tags that should not be present. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 A ticket has been created on this for you. Someone will be in contact as soon as possible. Michael Collins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Collins Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hi there, I spoke to someone on a ticket, we couldn't recreate the issue and assumed it wasn't present anymore but needed to clean the database manually of all the old tags. Now that I've done that I've done some more testing myself and I can see an issue that's still present and may be causing tags to still be in the table with no related post. After I use the moderator actions to delete a post, the tags from that post are still shown in the database. An example of tags are "2025" and "2026". I added these to two separate posts and then used the moderator actions to delete the posts but they are still present in the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Collins Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I've responded again and haven't got an automated rejection email yet so I'm guessing it went through. Thanks @Marc Stridgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
