(@emiluzelac)

I came across this topic just now, please take a look. I think that this could help you achieve your goals.

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-z-index-list-of-tags?replies=20 and there was another floating around as well http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1764165

One or the other, this will be the starting point for you.

Cheers,

This does exactly what you asked for. Just copy the code into a new file and save it as “t-tags.php” in your current themes directory. You will then need to log into WordPress, create a new page and apply the “Tags” Template to it. You may also need to change the html under “OUTPUT” to match your theme. Please don’t change anything under “Process” unless it makes sense to you 🙂

<?php
/*
Template Name: Tags
*/

	/* Process
	================================================= */
	$list = '';
	$tags = get_terms( 'post_tag' );
	$groups = array();
	if( $tags && is_array( $tags ) ) {
		foreach( $tags as $tag ) {
			$first_letter = strtoupper( $tag->name[0] );
			$groups[ $first_letter ][] = $tag;
		}
		if( !empty( $groups ) ) {
			foreach( $groups as $letter => $tags ) {
				$list .= "\n\t" . '<h2>' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $letter ) . '</h2>';
				$list .= "\n\t" . '<ul>';
				foreach( $tags as $tag ) {
					$url = attribute_escape( get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ) );
					$count = intval( $tag->count );
					$name = apply_filters( 'the_title', $tag->name );
					$list .= "\n\t\t" . '<li><a href="' . $url . '">' . $name . '</a> (' . $count . ')</li>';
					}
				$list .= "\n\t" . '</li>';
			}
		}
	}else $list .= "\n\t" . '<p>Sorry, but no tags were found</p>';

	/* OUTPUT
	============================= */
	get_header();
	?>
	<div id="container">
	<div id="main">
	<?php print $list; ?>
	</div>
	</div><!-- end main -->
	<?php
	get_sidebar();
	get_footer();
	?>

he said create a new page and apply the “Tags” Template to it…How to apply “Tags” Template to that page??
and what output to change..

please explain

(@emiluzelac)

So the code above (from what I can understand) needs to be saved as: t-tags.php. Upload that saved file to your site.

Save the above as t-tags.php in wp-content/themes/yourtheme
Upload via FTP to your site
Login to WordPress and create new page (name it the way you need)
Apply “Tags” see http://i.imgur.com/RDY3Q.jpg

That’s all.

Yes it started Showing the List by tags..

http://songlyricsz.com/lyrics-list Take a look at that..

But few points –

how to show entire a-z list in home page ..
by clicking on one tag in that list it should show just posts titles rather than showing entire posts at once..
why every character is showing with +1 tab space

(@emiluzelac)

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part – <?php get_template_part( ‘t-tags’ ); ?> – and include in your home page
Check your tag.php file, if you don’t have one, create it http://codex.wordpress.org/Tag_Templates#Examples and “shorten the content or display titles only
t-tags.php was an example only, you will need to style this template to include the same look as in your current theme

For instance t-tags.php has <div id=”main”> on your site you have <div id=”content”> so things like that needs to be changed.

1. Sorry by putting that code in home page its showing everything it has in that lyrics page ..i just want that abcdefg…..z hyper-linked ..and
how do i adjust every character to different page..
2.i already have tags.php…your given link said

you will just need to find where it says the_content() inside The Loop in your Template, and replace it with the_excerpt().

in that i just found this..<?php the_content("Read the rest of this entry");?> but by changing it to excerpt nothing changes ..

3. case solved..i changed the output to this`/* OUTPUT
============================= */
get_header();
?>
<div class=”fContent2″>
<div>
<?php print $list; ?>
</div>
</div><!– end main –>
<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>`
and also in process part i deleted one ul code

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt#Control_Excerpt_Length_using_Filters

Absolutely, so this is what we need to do:

In your tags.php locate:

<div class="postdetail">
<?php the_content("Read the rest of this entry");?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

and replace with:

<div class="postdetail">
<?php the_excerpt();?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

Now you need to check if you have the_excerpt() in place, if not create one in functions.php:

function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 20;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');
