Trying to clean up Categories and Tags but some articles are no longer being listed in category pages.
I am using the Tag Manager plugin. it shows me ArticulateCategories, ArticulateTags & default.
I have changed my main categories & tags to lowercase however the main issue I have noticed is that articles with the Category 'expert in focus' for example are not displaying in the 'expert in focus' category page unless i edit the article, remove the category, add it again and republish.

Is there a way to force a republish so the article categories/tags are re-integrated?
(FYI i have tried https://YOURDOMAIN/Umbraco/dialogs/republish.aspx?xml=true)

That republish.aspx is ancient (it hasn't existed for years) - what version of Umbraco are you using?

Categories and Tags are based on Umbraco tags. In some cases, these can get out of sync. Tag information is actually pulled from the umbracoTags database table and not directly from the document's json array of tags.

I have a task to create a tag checker/cleaner plugin but I've never got around to it. As you've noted, removing, re-adding and re-saving resolves the issue. The issue is that with just re-saving, it won't trigger a change in tags so the tags aren't resynced to the database.

This is an Umbraco issue, not specifically Articulate since Articulate just uses the Umbraco tags engine. But it would be great to have a utility to re-sync/fix/clean the tag table based on what is stored in the content nodes.

Hi Shazwazza,

Using Umbraco version 7.6.1 assembly: 1.0.6337.40631 (have tried updating but fails no matter what i do so sticking with this one).
I tried just editing the database tags/categories (but no changes were visible, so added the Tag Manager plugin which seemed to work well, till i made massive changes and the nodes were not republishing and many lost their tags all together (about to restore a backup today to repair). Certainly having some management tool that is reliable would be fantastic as this site is old (data was imported originally) with many unused and incorrect tags that would be great to be able to tidy up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated but i realise that times have moved on and this site is far from current. https://www.apimagazine.com.au/

Regards,
Gareth.
