Title: Tag listbox… Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Tag listbox… * Resolved [Diogo15](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diogo15/) * (@diogo15) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tag-listbox/) * Hi, this plugin is great, but i wonder if there is a way to add separated tags to the “Tag listbox”(in the admin), and when i click it (in frontend), that tag is added to the tag input textfield???

The way I designed it is that the listbox in the frontend shows all the known tags. By clicking one of them it is added to the tag input-field. It is also possible to edit the tag input-field by hand and define new tags there (together with existing tags). * The way I understand your question is that you only want certain tags to appear in the listbox. In theory that’s possible but, because the tag input-field allows the creation of tags, tags can be created and attached to the post but they cannot be used for future posts (unless you include them in the admin section). * Im I totally wrong in my explanation of your question?

In the unmodified code change * `foreach (get_tags() as $tag)` * to * `foreach (get_tags('hide_empty=0') as $tag)` * and tags which are unattached will show in the list. * I will change it in the next version.

You can create a new tag from the frontend with the widget just by typing it in the tags input-field. The content of this field can include existing tags and new tags, comma separated. The droplist is meant to choose quickly from existing tags. * Another way of creating a tag is from the Dashboard of course. * To test, choose two existing tags from the list, put a comma behind the content of the tags input-field and type a tag which doesn’t exist. The result after posting will be a post with two existing tags and the newly created tag. * Does this answer your question? * inapan * Thread Starter [Diogo15](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diogo15/) * (@diogo15) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tag-listbox/#post-2053522) * You were right, my question are not so clever, mmmmm… i think i don’t want that the people can see all tags in the site, i just want anyone can choose just the tags i allow to them, like the categories,…so if i set them manually: * `echo "\n";` * this doesn’t work… * Really Thanks for your time. * Plugin Author [inapan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inapan/) * (@inapan) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tag-listbox/#post-2053532) * [@diogo15](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diogo15/), * OK, you’re welcome. If you go to [this page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_tags) you see that get_tags has exclude and include options. These options let you control which tags will be returned by get_tags. So, it is possible to ex- or include certain tags. * The problem however is that the tags input-field allows the creation of new tags. You could prevent that by changing the line which begins with * `
