Title: Clear all tags Last modified: August 5, 2019 --- # Clear all tags * [jurieolek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jurieolek/) * (@jurieolek) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-all-tags/) * Hello! * I wanted to make a button that cleans all the tags, just above of the text “Separate tags with commas”. I usually have a list of names on the tags and when I want to change them, I have to delete one by one. Could someone give me some idea? I guess it will be some javascript. * Thanks in advance Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [Dave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dvaer/) * (@dvaer) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-all-tags/#post-11800020) * Hi, * Interesting question, and that would be quite handy functionality. I wouldn’t know exactly how to do this either, but as a start I would look at plugins/topics with similar functionality. Perhaps these links are a starting point? * [delete all product tags with SQL (support topic)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/como-eu-posso-deletar-todas-as-tags-de-produto-existentes-do-meu-woocommerce/) [mass delete tags (plugin)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mass-delete-tags/) [simple tags (plugin)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-tags/) * Especially the last one seems to have lots of development and also uses AJAX requests, so that may be a good starting point. Possibly the plugin author might just be able to help with a piece of code if you ask. * Hope that helps somewhat as a start. * Thread Starter [jurieolek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jurieolek/) * (@jurieolek) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clear-all-tags/#post-11806184) * Hello Dave * I have reviewed those plugins but I think it does it from database. I would like to know how the javascript code does to delete a tag with the cross button. I looked at the “load-scripts.php” but I could only beautify this: * ``` var tagBox, array_unique_noempty; ! function(a) { var b = window.tagsSuggestL10n && window.tagsSuggestL10n.tagDelimiter || ","; array_unique_noempty = function(b) { var c = []; return a.each(b, function(b, d) { d = a.trim(d), d && a.inArray(d, c) === -1 && c.push(d) }), c }, tagBox = { clean: function(a) { return "," !== b && (a = a.replace(new RegExp(b, "g"), ",")), a = a.replace(/\s*,\s*/g, ",").replace(/,+/g, ",").replace(/[,\s]+$/, "").replace(/^[,\s]+/, ""), "," !== b && (a = a.replace(/,/g, b)), a }, parseTags: function(c) { var d = c.id, e = d.split("-check-num-")[1], f = a(c).closest(".tagsdiv"), g = f.find(".the-tags"), h = g.val().split(b), i = []; return delete h[e], a.each(h, function(b, c) { c = a.trim(c), c && i.push(c) }), g.val(this.clean(i.join(b))), this.quickClicks(f), !1 }, quickClicks: function(c) { var d, e, f = a(".the-tags", c), g = a(".tagchecklist", c), h = a(c).attr("id"); f.length && (e = f.prop("disabled"), d = f.val().split(b), g.empty(), a.each(d, function(b, c) { var d, f; c = a.trim(c), c && (d = a("
  • ").text(c), e || (f = a('"), f.on("click keypress", function(b) { "click" !== b.type && 13 !== b.keyCode && 32 !== b.keyCode || (13 !== b.keyCode && 32 !== b.keyCode || a(this).closest(".tagsdiv").find("input.newtag").focus(), tagBox.userAction = "remove", tagBox.parseTags(this)) }), d.prepend(" ").prepend(f)), g.append(d)) }), tagBox.screenReadersMessage()) }, flushTags: function(c, d, e) { var f, g, h, i = a(".the-tags", c), j = a("input.newtag", c); return d = d || !1, h = d ? a(d).text() : j.val(), "undefined" != typeof h && "" !== h && (f = i.val(), g = f ? f + b + h : h, g = this.clean(g), g = array_unique_noempty(g.split(b)).join(b), i.val(g), this.quickClicks(c), d || j.val(""), "undefined" == typeof e && j.focus(), !1) }, get: function(b) { var c = b.substr(b.indexOf("-") + 1); a.post(ajaxurl, { action: "get-tagcloud", tax: c }, function(d, e) { 0 !== d && "success" == e && (d = a('
