@Atari asked for a solution.. People who do not have one should not butt in!
I have the same issue. All other %category% %postname% %post_id% etc. resolve fine, but %tag% remains %tag% in the final permalink!
I think it is a bug. I came across a patch which was for an older version. I did not try it yet ( I do not know how to use it either 😛 ) because I am using the latest version (3.0.4 I think).. but the problem is still there!
I do not want to start the url with %tag% but I need it down the URL. The point is that it should work.. regardless of how I use it!
@Atari if you find a solution please do share it 🙂
here is the patch I found.. I would appreciate anyone telling me how to use it too 🙂
