Adding Tags list to the archive page

Hey gang. I’m wondering if there’s a way to call a list of “Tags” used into a list in the archives page with each tag showing the number of posts which use it. like this:

Tag Archive:
> Photoshop (11)
> Pen Tool (2)
> Displace (3)

etc…

I’m using it on a standard WP archive page that also displays Monthly Archives and Category Archives.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Off hand, I don’t have the code to grab the number of posts per tag, but I do have some code that will at least get you the list of tags on your archives page: http://webtide.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/display-tags-in-3-columns/

```
$tags = get_tags();
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo $tag->count;
}

Michael, Thanks for the help, but your script only returns a list of numbers… no tag names. What I’m going for is the same style as a Monthly or Category archive would be:

Tag1 (2)
Tag2 (16)
Tag3 (1) etc.

Try something like this:
```
$tags = get_tags();
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo $tag->name.'('.$tag->count.')';
}
```

Thanks drmanry, you got me on the right track! I’ve tried to post the code I ended up using between backticks as suggested in the comments area but every time it turned into a jumbled mess… but you definitely got me there.

Figured it out… here ya go!
```
<ul>
<?php $tags = get_tags();
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo '<li><a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/tag/'.$tag->slug.'" rel="tag">'.$tag->name.'</a></li>';
} ?>
 </ul>
```

Mmuro,

Thanks so much for this – I love how the 3-column looks on your sample page and am trying to implement it on a client’s wordpress site.

I’ve copied the code into the archives.php template, but it won’t create 3 columns…is there something else…?
