I'm trying to understand why the new tagging system is only for posts and not for pages. Is there some technical problem or what?
Why I cannot tag PAGES? (WP 2.3) (14 posts)

Design decision. WordPress doesn't support tags or categories on Pages.

There is this plugin:

Posted 2 years ago #That's a start, but when you go to the URL/?tag=xx page, the pages do not show up. That was a functionality Simple Tagging Plugin had.
Can someone restore that? I have header pages for my tag links. I can probably do it on my own...
To be honest, I'm a little ticked that the functionality is different. If I would have known that I wouldn't have upgraded.

jonerikstorm--have you considered restoring to your backup?

Posted 2 years ago #I have considered it, but it doesn't work even with new pages.
Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked on the upgrade, and I'm thankful for the plugin, too.
I just didn't think that the /?tag=foo would go away...
Which file controls the query variable? I'll write the code if necessary.

I can understand not having categories on pages, but tags provide a different function and would be useful on pages. I guess I won't be using the tags function in 2.3 at all and will be continuing to use a plugin instead. The plugin will also be useful for meta keywords, which the new tag feature apparently doesn't support.
I don't want to sound unappreciative (Wordpress rocks!) but the new Wordpress feature isn't at all useful for me and probably not for a lot of other people either.

Haecceity: Use a plugin to extend tags to pages if you like:

Posted 2 years ago #I tried installing tags4page but how to make the tags show in the tag cloud widget is a mystery.
"To view the tags in your blog you have to add the Wordpress function <?php the_tags(); ?> to your themes, please refer to the documentation page for more information (http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_tags).?"
Yes, but which file does this piece of code need to go in, and where?
Thanks.

The Template Tag, the tags(), needs to be in The Loop and that typically is in your theme's index.php file.
On the other hand, the Template Tag, wp_tag_cloud(), does not need to be in The Loop, so you might want to put that in your sidebar.php file.
