Tags and categories don’t open
-
Few of my categories can’t open ptom the category-widget. On some I receive the message: “Ooops…Where did you get such a link? Server cannot locate what you are looking for! 404 Not Found…” (on the category “Византиска философија”), or even: “Redirect Loop. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete…” (on the category “Отец Кирил Пејчиновиќ”).
Many of my often used tags also don’t function (kiril pejcinovic, кирил пејчиновиќ, пејчиновиќ, аскет, паганизам, etc.). I receive the message “Sorry, we don’t have any posts here with that tag. You may want to try one of the sites below.”
Please help!

I’m sorry but it’s been so long since I have read Greek or Hebrew that I cannot help you. Hopefully, another Volunteer will be able to help.

@tt: Actually Slavomacedonian.
@georgevich: That’s a problem you may get when the post slugs [*] are in the Cyrillic, Greek or other non-Latin alphabet, especially if they are long.
[*] The slug is the part after the date in a permalink such as http://digitalareopagus.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/отец-георгиј-флоровски-христијанска/ .
You should edit your posts to change the post slugs into a single word or into english.
Or you can kep this in mind for future posts, and ask staff to correct the permalinks of your already published ones:

Thanks for the answer Panaghiotis. I tried to change some slugs, but it didn’t help a lot. The situation is unchanged. I will try with: http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
About the tags-problem. There are few tags which I use quite often, and they simply do not funcion. Some of them are in cyrilic, but some of them are latin, and both don’t work. And I think that almost anything (both tags and categories) that contains the name “kiril pejcinovic” (around 20 posts on that topic) doesn’t work.

You’re welcome. Actually the 404 issue is what brought me to this forum about a year ago (because my other blog is in Greek); I know no more than what I already told you: we had our permalinks fixed by staff, and I’ve been using latin characters for them ever since.
As for the tags, some do work, for instance:
http://digitalareopagus.wordpress.com/tag/kiril-pejcinovic/
http://digitalareopagus.wordpress.com/tag/кирил-пејчиновиќ/
http://mk.wordpress.com/tag/отец-кирил-пејчиновиќ/(You don’t have the tag cloud on your sidebar, so I’m not sure if you’re talking about tags to your posts or tags to the global pages.)
Note that you shouldn’t use the same word or phrase as both a tag and a category: tags and categories are exactly the same thing, so you run into technical problems if you’ve got such duplicates.
