One of the things that puzzled me about WordPress 2.3 is that it didn’t come with a tag manager. Then I realized they probably wanted to see what plugin developers would come up with first. Well, after looking around at some tag manager plugins, I decided to write my own. My goal is to create a tag manager that is feature rich and easy to use that also seamlessly integrates into the WordPress admin so that it looks like it is a part of the admin itself rather than an add-on.
In this initial 0.1 release you can:
- Edit tags
- Delete tags
- Merge tags
Not as feature rich as I want, but the basics are there. When I get more time, I plan on adding tag splitting, list untagged posts, and search for similar tags. Suggestions for other features are welcome. You might also check out my other plugin, Category Posts Widget.
This plugin requires WordPress 2.3 or above.
Notice: WP Tag Manager 0.1.1 is available.
You can download the latest version of WP Tag Manager at the official WordPress plugin repository.
Installation
- Download the plugin using the link above.
- Upload tag-manager.php to the plugins folder of your blog.
- Goto the Plugins section of the WordPress admin and activate the plugin.
- Goto the Tag tab of the Manage section and start managing your tags.

Thanks for this plugin James, I had mistakenly made a wrong tag for my sites blog and couldn’t for the life of me work out how to delete/edit it, this plugin makes it all so simple. I’m very grateful there are clever people like you out there sharing these things so that less clever people like me can fix our mistakes!

Thanks for creating this. I couldn’t understand why something like it wasn’t put into the 2.3 release. Seems to be working well for me.
Hi,
This is something that really is missing in version 2.3.x of WordPress. I think your plugin has great potential.
How about making the tags sortable on tagname? I think this makes managing tags easier when there are a lot of tags.
Regards,
EJ

The plugin doesn’t work. When I click “edit” on a tag I get a “The webpage cannot be found” error.
Doesn’t work for me. When I try to Edit or Delete, I get a 404 error.
I think the problem is that $jtm_root is set to get_bloginfo(‘url’) rather than Get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).
‘url’ works fine, provided that the Blog address is in the same directory as the WP installation. Mine isn’t. My Blog address is the webroot, but WP is in a subdirectory.
Changing ‘url’ to ‘wpurl’ on lines 57 & 106 fixed this problem for me.
Another great plug-in! Thanks man! Like you said… it’s weird that WP hasn’t implemented something like this…
I get the tag manager menu, but it’s giving me ‘Invalid argument supplied in /wp-content/plugins/tagmanager/tag-manager.php for foreach() on line 78.’?
