Wordpress Embedded Tag Thing

Embedded Tag Thing allows you to put tags inside your content, wrapped in [tag][/tag] markup; and also allows you to add tags in the content body by including a comma separated list of tags within [tags][/tags] markup.

- Single Tags
To display a word in a post as a tag, wrap it in [tag][/tag] markup (with square brackets!). When you save the post, it will be added as a tag; and when you view the post, the word will show as a link to the corresponding tag page.

So if your [tag]post[/tag] contained this sentence; the word post would show as a tag link the first time, but not the second.

- Multiple Tags
It is also possible to add a list of tags inside a post that get added as tags, but don’t display in the same manner as single tags.

[tags]monkey, banana, disco[/tags] in a post would add the three tags, monkey, banana and disco to the post; but not show up as tag links when you view the post.

Wordpress Tag Managing Thing

Tag Managing Thing allows you to edit your tags.

In the Manage section of wp-admin, there is a Tags menu item. Selecting it will take you to the Tag Managing Thing interface.

It allows selecting the taxonomy to work with. Currently in wordpress there is a category and a post_tag taxonomy. Selecting a taxonomy allows editing the terms within that taxonomy.

Once a term has been selected you can perform the following tasks

  • Change the name and slug of the term
  • Delete a term
  • Split a term into multiple terms
  • Merge other terms into the selected term
  • Change a term to belong in a different taxonomy
