Tag Page Redirecting to Home Page

Question

We have some posts on our Wordpress website and we wanted to put tags on the bottom, so I used:

<p><?php the_tags(); ?></p>

And it worked sort of. The problem is it links to for example:

http://website.com/tag/foo

But that just shows the home page (/tag/foo doesn't exist). How do I get my tags to list articles/posts with that tag or some sort of search/category view?

Answer 1

Do you have a tag page set in your theme? It sounds like its defaulting to the index.php. See the order here, #5 is index.php: http://codex.wordpress.org/Tag_Templates .

Do you have a tag.php file?
