Hi There,

When creating a piece of content (ie an article) my understanding is that if you type a term, that is does not currently exist as a tag, drupal will create a new tag for that term. I could swear that my site WAS doing this before as well. Now, however for some reason it doesn't seem to be creating new tags.

I should also mention that it seems that I cant type in multiple comma separated "terms/tags" in the same "field". I don't know if maybe that's specific to my theme? This also bugs me because when viewing the content teaser on the home page the tags appeard like

tag 1
tag 2
tag3

as opposed to

tag 1, tag 2, tag 3

which is what I would prefer.

When I type in a term/tag that I have not yet created, I get this message at the top of the page "There are no entities matching..."

Anybody have idea why this would be happening or how to fix this?

Have you examined the field configuration. Is 'Create referenced entities if they don't already exist' set?

It was not and its ticked now and it's working properly. Thanks VM.

Any idea why when creating, or adding tags, I can't put multiple comma separated tags in the same input field? I can only type in one per field. I can add multiple tag fields but I believe that's the reason that they're being displayed like:
Tag1
Tag2
Tag3
Instead of like:
Tag1, Tag2, Tag3

Have you inspected field and field display configuration?

Where would I find the field display configuration?

You've a manage display tab in each content type and within that tab each field has a configuration for how it is to be displayed.
