Finally, the end of messy tags

Organize your tags in groups

• Display tag clouds where tags are sorted into smaller, manageable groups.
• Display a list where tags appear in “chapters” under groups.
• Filter posts and tags by tag group in your admin.

Sort tags alphabetically

• Automatically sort your tags in a tag cloud or in a list by their first letters.

Why you need tag groups

Most websites mix up tags that should actually be separated by topics: places, people, features, activities and more.

Your tags, however, will become much more useful if you organize them in groups. Imagine a tag cloud where all town names appear in a “Towns” group or where you keep all tags for product sizes under “Sizes” and all tags for colors under “Colors”. The Tag Groups plugin lets you do exactly that.

How to use tag groups

After activating the plugin, you will be guided by an optional setup wizard.

First you create groups that will contain your tags. Then you sort your tags into these groups. You can later always come back and modify the groups or change the tags.

The plugin comes with two tag clouds where tags are sorted by groups and one alphabetical tag cloud where tags are sorted by first letters. These tag clouds can be customized with numerous parameters, and you can insert them as shortcodes into post, pages and widgets or as Gutenberg blocks.

You can also list your tags in an index: Sorted under group names as headings or alphabetically under first letters. These lists can be shown in columns.

Filters and bulk actions make your work with tags much easier, and you can even filter the list of posts in your backend by the groups that their tags belong to.

Not only tags

Tag Groups works also great with most other (flat) taxonomies, like WooCommerce product tags.

The plugin does not support hierarchical taxonomies like categories.

Possible applications

• Display your tags grouped by language or by topic.
• Create an alphabetical index of your tags – think of a phone book for your tags.
• Display only specific tags in your tag cloud.
• Choose which tags to display in different sections of your blog.
• Change the sorting order in your tag cloud.
• Customize the links, the text, the font size or the separator of your tag cloud items.
• Prepend or append to each tag a custom character or the post count.
• Insert into each post a tag cloud using only the tags of this post.
• Easily manage huge amounts of tags or posts in the backend by dividing them into groups.
• Add a parent level to tags and make them hierarchical.

Multilingual websites

This plugin is officially compatible with WPML (WordPress Multilingual). That means you can use a different tag group name for each language.
