 * Hi there,
 * I am testing various tags plugins and just downloaded yours yesterday, first,
   let me say that it’s a brilliant tool and it’s a real shame to see that the development
   has stopped!!! I could not believe it, socially after:
 * Witnessing, sadly, that most tags associated plugins I have seen here have been
   dumped.
    There is still a lot we can do with tags… Yours is H.O.T. Why kill it?
 * **Anyway, to the issue, pretty straight forward and easy to replicate >**
 * Selection strategy:
 * When set to “**Random**” it does show Woocommerce product_tags **fine**, and 
   that’s the only way to get them to show up **ok** actually.
 * **Oddly;**
 * When set to “**Only terms from the current list**” it **does not** show the product
   tags at all!
 * **Very strange. It works if I tick the wrong box…**
 * I came across this bug by accident, I was ready to deactivate and delete the 
   plugin to keep searching for a new one… Let’s hope that:
 * If you ever get a minute to fix this, that would be really great!
 * Do you happen to know if there are any other similar tags plugins that are still
   supported out there? Always nervous to hear “development has stopped” 😉

 * The main reason for stopping the development is because the current feature set
   has been troublesome to maintain. As you’ve witnessed there’s a lot of features
   that needs to work together, and every change requires lots and lots of testing
   to make sure that everything still works.
 * This means that the effort to add new features is just too big for me to be able
   to continue working on it. My current focus is on other things than WordPress
   and I don’t feel that I have the time required to continue working on it.
 * That said, I’m happy to release new versions if someone wants to continue fixing
   bugs or adding features. The plugin is available on [github](https://github.com/rickard2/utcw)
   and I’m happy to accept pull requests as long as they’re adequately tested.
 * Hope this brings some clarity into the decision to not continue working on this
   project.
