A few tags become the real way your content is organized; the rest are used once, never, or three times over with different spellings. PressKlip Post Tag Manager puts all of them in one table and gives each one a switch. It works on any WordPress site with any theme. You do not need PressKlip Video or any other PressKlip product. #### See what you have * Every tag with how many posts use it, searchable and sortable. * Filters for the clutter: **Unused**, **Used once**, and **Possible duplicates**, which groups spellings like “Drum & Bass”, “drum n bass” and “drum-and-bass”. * Thousands of tags load at once and stay fast to search. #### Hide a tag, and everything under it Switch a tag to **Tag and posts hidden** and every post that carries it leaves your home page, archives, search results, feeds and query loops. Hide one tag or a hundred at once, and undo with one click. Then open **Review posts** on that tag to pick the posts you still want: set any of them to **Keep showing** and they stay in your lists while the rest of the tag stays hidden. #### Or hide just the tag Duplicates and clutter usually need the opposite: the tag should go, the posts should stay. Switch a tag to **Tag hidden, posts shown** and it leaves your tag lists, tag clouds and each post’s tags, while every post under it stays in your lists through its other tags. Possible duplicates get a one-click **Hide this tag only**, and ** Hide tags only** does it for many at once. Because nothing is renamed or merged, a tag that comes back on a re-import of your content stays hidden. #### Nothing changes until you say so Hiding has a master switch, and it starts **off**. Clean up for an afternoon or a month; visitors see no change until you turn hiding on. The screen tells you how many published posts would leave your lists before you flip it. #### Hiding is not deleting Nothing is deleted or unpublished. Hidden posts keep their pages, which still open from links and search engines and stay in your XML sitemap. Hidden tags are also left out of tag clouds, a post’s tag list, and the tag lists themes and plugins build (filters, menus, sidebars), so visitors are never offered a tag that leads to nothing. Turn hiding off and everything is back. #### One post at a time Every post also has a small “Show in lists” box: follow its tags, keep showing, or always hide. Use “Always hide” to pull a dated post while it is being rewritten, even if none of its tags are hidden. #### Works with any taxonomy Tags are managed by default. Under Settings you can add categories, product tags or any public taxonomy. With [PressKlip Video](https://pressklip.com) active, its video tags and video categories are included out of the box. #### For theme and plugin developers Post lists built with WP_Query and tag lists built with get_terms() are handled automatically. A list built some other way can leave hidden posts out itself: ``` $hidden = function_exists( 'tiertags_hidden_post_ids' ) ? tiertags_hidden_post_ids() : array(); ``` Also available: `tiertags_hidden_term_ids()`, `tiertags_is_post_visible()`, `tiertags_is_term_visible()` and `tiertags_is_enabled()`. Each answers “visible” while hiding is off. A query that must see everything passes `'tiertags_skip' => true`. PressKlip Post Tag Manager stores one value per hidden tag (term meta) and one per post when you set an override. It never creates, renames, merges or deletes a tag, sends no data anywhere, and loads nothing on the front end of your site. ## Screenshots [⌊Every tag in one table, with its post count and whether it is Shown, Tag and posts hidden, or Tag hidden, posts shown.

Switch tags to **Tag and posts hidden** or **Tag hidden, posts shown**, one at a time or by ticking several and using **Hide tags and posts** or **Hide tags only**. 4. Open **Review posts** on a hidden tag to keep any of its posts showing. 5. When you are ready, click **Turn hiding on**. ## FAQ ### Is this related to Google Tag Manager? No. This plugin manages the tags on your WordPress posts (the labels like “Recipes” or “Holiday 2019”). It adds no tracking scripts and has nothing to do with Google Tag Manager. ### Does hiding delete anything? No. Hidden posts stay published, and their pages still work for anyone with the link or arriving from a search engine. They are only left out of lists: the home page, archives, search, feeds and query loops. ### I hid a tag and nothing changed on my site. That is the master switch doing its job. Hiding starts off so a half-finished cleanup never changes your site. Click **Turn hiding on** at the top of the screen. ### A post has one hidden tag and five others. Is it hidden? Yes. Hiding a tag hides every post that carries it, whatever else it is tagged with. To keep that post in your lists, open **Review posts** on the tag and set it to ** Keep showing**. ### How do I get rid of duplicate tags without hiding their posts? Set the spellings you do not want to **Tag hidden, posts shown** (or click **Hide this tag only** under a possible duplicate). The tag disappears from what visitors see; its posts stay in your lists. ### Does it merge duplicate tags? No. It shows you the possible duplicates so you can hide the spellings you do not want, the tag alone or the tag and its posts. It never changes your tags. ### Who can manage tags? Anyone who can manage that taxonomy’s terms (Editors and Administrators by default). Only Administrators can turn hiding on or off and choose taxonomies. Anyone who can edit a post can set that post’s own **Keep showing** or **Always hide**. ### Can I use this to keep posts private? No. Hiding tidies your lists; it is not privacy. Hidden posts and tags can still be reached by their links, the REST API and sitemaps. Use Private or a password for anything that must not be seen. ### What happens when I deactivate or delete it? Deactivating shows everything again and keeps your choices for when you come back. Deleting the plugin also removes the hidden tags and overrides it stored. Your tags and posts are never touched. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PressKlip Post Tag Manager” is open source software.
