WordPress Dashboard > Posts > Tags

Tags are a flexible way to group related posts together. Unlike categories, tags do not have a hierarchy.


Add New Tag

  • Name The name as it will appear on your site.

  • Slug The URL-friendly version of the tag name. Usually lowercase and includes only letters, numbers, and hyphens. Example: summer-recipes

  • Description An optional field. Some themes may display the description, though it’s not shown by default.


Tags List

  • Displays all tags in a sortable table.

  • Columns include:

    • Name

    • Description

    • Slug

    • Post Count (number of posts assigned to the tag)

  • Use the checkboxes and Bulk Action dropdown to:

    • Delete tags

    • Edit multiple tags

Note: No tags are displayed until some are created.


Convert Tags to Categories

Use the Tag to Category Converter tool (found under Tools > Import) to convert selected tags into categories.
