SimpleTags: integrated multi-tags on WordPress

Who runs a blog with WordPress knows how important tag.
The tags for the uninitiated (!?!), are keywords that identify the contents of an article and are used as labels in order to create a content relationship between the various posts that speak about the same topic. Click on a tag, in practice, it is redirected to a web page that lists all the content associated with that tag.

I have a WordPress tag functions similarly to that of categories, but more of these, you can create links between the content extremely precise and detailed.
For example suppose a technical blog (like centre-equestre-lepuy.com, for example) has a category CMS and inside are hundreds of posts that talk about various content management system, within this category will then can create additional relationships between articles using precisely the tags (tags starch could be an example of a WordPress) which also prove very useful to relate to each other content from different categories (consider, for example, to a post of a hypothetical category Web Marketing that speaks, among other things, an SEO plugin for WordPress: thanks to the tag will be possible to relate this article with other articles, in the different categories CMS, discussing WordPress ).

The plug-in Simple Tags

Simple Tags is a WordPress plugin that gives us the ability to manage the tags in our blog more easily than normal and advanced possibilities offered by the CMS admin panel. Among the various features of this plugin (which we will see later in this article) point out immediately the possibility of specifying Autotags for auto-tagging of content based on keywords found in them!

To install this add-on as we always refer to the relevant section of WordPress for the installation of new plugins.

Click Add New under the Plugins tab on the left. We write simple tags into the search box and clicking on search plugin. Then we identify the plugin in the list and click on install now.

After the automatic installation, activate the plugin. At the bottom left of WordPress between settings will find a new menu item called Simple Tags. Click on this link to reach the administration pages of the plugin, within which we can choose all the options you want to customize the use of add-on.

The settings of the plugin

The general tab

The general tab shows general options for the use of the Simple Tags plugin. We have four choices on this tab:

• Mass Edit: This option adds to the administration panel of WordPress a page that contains a list of all the pages and blogs alongside the articles included in the names of tags and categories. Through this page, accessible by voice edit mass terms in the Tools menu, we can proceed at a very rapid change of these terms.
• Autotags: this is also a useful feature to save time when writing a new article. If the text or title of our post there are words that already exist between the tags of our site, these terms will be automatically inserted between the tags the article.
• Active tags per page: Enabling this option will make the plugin is a link between tags and pages, which will be added to the search functionality of the tag.
• Allow tag cloud in the content of the post / page if this option is active, entering the code [st_tag_cloud] or [st-tag-cloud] within a post or a page is a "cloud" with the most popular tags used blog.

The board directors

• Enable the click tag: the entry page of an article, if this option is activated, we will find a new pane at the bottom that allows us to see all the tags in the system. We can select the words that we are interested in to add tags to the post you are writing.
• Click order tags: With this menu we can choose the display order of the terms in the box click tag. We can choose to see the tags in alphabetical order (asc-name), in reverse alphabetical order (desc-name), in order of frequency of use (count-asc beginning to see the least used, for the most count-desc used). Choosing randomly displays them in random order.
• Activate the option of an old auto input: With this option we can get suggestions in real time to tag.
• Suggested tags Activate feature: another useful feature to quickly add tags, thanks to the suggestions offered by the plugin by comparing the contents of the article and the list of site tags or other alternative external sources, such as Yahoo, OpenCalais, Alchemy.
