 Severity:  critical  |    Keywords:  simple tagging import tags
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Simple Tagging Import is NON-FUNCTIONAL. When attempting to import tags
 the following occurs:

 1) Step 1 -> Runs smoothly, counts the rows in WPPREFIX_stp_tags table,
 presents the user with number and 'Step 2' button.
 2) Step 2 -> Appears to run, for 1-2 minutes, and then the loading stops
 and it displays "Adding Tags to Posts…" it does not go ANYWHERE after
 this, and is broken halfway through the import.

 When examining this further, I have concluded that it successfuly adds the
 tags from the WPPREFIX_stp_tags table to the wp_terms table, but fails to
 add the tags to the posts; hence failing to create the relationships
 between a post and it's tag(s).

 This bug prevents any user relying on Simple Tagging in previous versions
 to upgrade to 2.5.x. It makes the upgrade task impossible.

 I tested this bug in 3 browsers (Safari, IE, firefox), the bug remains
 consistent.

 When working on this bug it will be important to keep in mind that many
 users will have already gotten halfway through the (broken) Simple Tagging
 import process. Therefor, the script will need to recognize a broken
 transaction (tags already imported, but no relationships made)
