Thanks for posting this - do you have it on a new install or migrated from a previous version? Could you tell what you did to install askbot?

This is a new install. I cloned the repository and followed the documentation for the installation.

The updated code is not working. I also tried to add old_data = old_data.replace("[[\"dummy\",[]]]", "") in the forwards method into save_category_as_json.py but it's not working too.

It did work for me on a new install. Well here are two options for you: 1) - try deleting that tag via the category editor interface. 2) log in to python shell with "python manage.py shell" and then type:

from askbot.conf import settings
settings.CATEGORY_TREE

What do you see there?

Solution 1) worked just fine (why didn't I think about it?)

Great, I've made tag delete work without the validation of the tag name. Before the deletion was blocked because this "tag" had all sorts of forbidden characters.
