I always get the following problem:

Jochen - I have mislav-will\_paginate-2.3.6 running under Rails-2.2.2,  
the app was migrated from Rails-2.2.0 with no changes. I can’t say  
anything about acts\_as\_taggable\_on\_steroids however.

Do you have your own class called Tag?

Well done for reposting your original post but the question was  
whether you have you own Tag class (in app/models)

That’s the problem. Acts as taggable on steroids defines its own Tag  
class, your tag class doesn’t have all the methods that one has.

Really strange. I had the same problem. I copied the contents of tag.rb  
from the plugin into my app/model/tag.rb and it solved the problem.

But it just seems like the wrong way to do it…

Any ideas?
