#### **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.
