Hi @coppercranes, I don’t see the issue yet. I did notice though that you’re very close to the limits listed here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-postsHave you edited those posts after publishing to remove some tags? If so I don’t think they’d automatically show up, but if you’ll be careful with your next posts, they should work.

Hi supernova,
I always use under the 15 tags which include the category. The last post only had 7 tags and 1 category, total of 8 items.
I tried on the “Turn Of The Screw” to remove all the tags and add them one at a time, still I noticed they were not working, again no success. If minimizing tags was the case it should have worked on today’s post.
When I chatted with one of the Happiness Engineers they said they were going to reindex everything and it should work in about 8 hours. I believe that was on the 5th or so of June. The reindex did not work.
Also my explore tags search does not work, and I have to add tags to my follow a tag list, still no search results for tags that I’ve used. The explore tag search not working is something new as well.
I noticed there have been changes to the theme I use, penscratch. Odd, there have been minor hiccups in the past, nothing like this. With this additional information perhaps it will lead to a resolution, fingers cross. Thank you for your assistance supernova, I look forward to your follow up reply.

Hi @coppercranes, thanks for your patience. I’ve had a chance to look a this again today and noticed your latest post is working, at least on the tag I checked:
https://wordpress.com/tag/mia-pharaohDid you do anything differently this time?

Hi supernova,
It appears to me that there was an update and changes made to the the theme I use, Penscratch. I noticed things were a bit different, subtle but different and things that had been on my page were missing, again subtle.
In visiting the link for tags, https://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts under site visibility the setting selected was “Discourage search engines from indexing this site”. Maybe with the changes it defaulted to this setting. I changed the setting to, “Allow search engines to index this site” and now if I search my saved tags followed I can see my posts in the reader.
I don’t know if the problem will persist, I will find out with my next post, finger crossed all goes well. Thank you for getting back to me. Is this the new url for searching tags https://wordpress.com/read/search please let me know, it makes it easier than adding unnecessary tags to the saved tag list.
I will get back to you if the next post needs some help. Again, thank you and I look forward to your reply regarding the link for search tags.

Your theme is retired, actually, so we haven’t been making updates to it. But the search engine setting you mentioned may well have made a difference — do you remember altering that before?
By the way, we have an updated version of your theme if you want to check it out. It just has a few popular features that weren’t as popular back when we created Penscratch:

No I don’t remember making any changes to it, so that’s the only thing that seemed to be holding up the reading from recognizing my tags. Although not entirely sure that was the answer, it does make sense though, rather odd how that happened.
I’ll have a look at the demo thank you. Again, the true test will be with the next post, will you be able to leave this ticket open for a bit?
https://wordpress.com/read/search I would like to confirm this is the correctly link for searching tags.
supernova, thank you for all of your assistance.

@coppercranes I think the easiest way to look at a particular tag is to head to this URL and sub out that last part for the tag in question. Be sure the /tag-slug part of the URL (typically your tag name converted to a url-friendly format) matches the one on your own site.
