Tags are keyword labels you add to posts to connect related content. Unlike categories, tags have no hierarchy — there are no parent or child tags. Tags appear beneath each post, and clicking one shows an archive of every post with that tag. Each tag name must be unique.

Open Tags

1. In your admin panel, open Blog > Tags.

Add a tag

Use the Add New Tag form on the left:

• Name — the tag's display name. Must be unique.
• Slug — the URL-friendly version of the name, usually lowercase with hyphens (for example, a Recipes tag with the slug food appears at example.com/blog/food/). Must be unique.
• Description — an optional description of the tag.

Click Add New Tag to save.

Popular Tags

When your posts have tags, a tag cloud at the top shows your most-used tags. Click any tag in the cloud to edit it. The cloud doesn't appear until tags have been assigned to posts.

The list of tags

Tags are listed alphabetically by name. Each row has these columns:

• Checkbox — select the tag for a bulk delete.
• Name — click it to edit the tag.
• Description — the optional description.
• Slug — the tag's URL slug.
• Count — how many posts use the tag. Click the number to manage those posts.

Use the search box (top right) and Search Tags to find a specific tag.

Edit or delete a tag

Hover over a tag row to reveal its actions:

• Edit — opens the full edit screen to change the name, slug, and description. Click Update to save.
• Quick Edit — change the name and slug inline. Click Update Tag to save or Cancel to discard.
• Delete — removes the tag. Deleting a tag does not delete its posts.

To delete several at once, check their boxes, choose Delete from the Bulk Actions dropdown, and click Apply.
