If you are using the Simple Tags plugin for WordPress and upgrade WP to 2.9 Simple Tahs will stop working and in fact you will get error messages in the admin interface telling you there is a database error. However don’t fret there is a temporary fix until the author, Amaury Balmer, releases a 2.9 compatible version. If you are not familiar with Simple Tags – it is simply (groan) the best tagging plugin for WP.

edit the plugin via the editor interface, find this line (near the top):

if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false) {

and change it to

if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.9') !== false ) {

Change only that line make certain that

require(dirname(__FILE__).'/2.7/simple-tags.client.php');

does not get deleted

Many grateful thanks to bgunnink who figured out the fix.
