Wordpress Plugin: tags4page
With the new 2.3 release Wordpress supports a native tagging system for posts. This plugin allows you to insert tags to pages too and not only to posts.
Requirements:
WordPress 2.3 or later (You MUST have at least 2.3 version).
Installation:
- Download the plugin tags4page
- uncompress it with your prefered unzip/untar program or use the command line: tar xzvf tags4page.tar.gz
- copy the file tags4page.php in your plugins directory at your wordpress blog (/wp-content/plugins)
- activate the tags4page Wordpress plugin at your Plugins admin page
Usage:
When you activate the plugin it just works adding the tags field to the page editing form. Fill it with the tags you want in each page.
To view the tags in your blog you have to add the Wordpress function <?php the_tags(); ?> to your themes, please refer to the documentation page for more information.

Changelog:
- 1.1 added Wordpress 2.5 support
- 1.0 Initial release.
Thanks to Diarizing for idea.
Tags4Page is in the official Wordpress Extend Plugins Directory, every times I’ll upload a new release your wordpress (only for >=2.3) will notify you.

Thanks for this! After the update to include the pages in the taglist, all of the old functionality is restored!
Many thanks!

hi michele!
exactly what i was looking for. - perhaps you could extend your plugin to show the page-tags in the tag-cloud, too… (now only post-tags are shown)
cheers berny
18:07 on October 1st, 2007
I don’t know where to put
Could you explain which file and where in that file it should go please?
18:08 on October 1st, 2007
I mean the_tags();
19:28 on October 1st, 2007
My question is similar to Berny’s. I want to show the page tags in the sidebar tag cloud like the posts. I tried adding the code to a text widget but that didn’t work. What am I missing? Thanks.
19:32 on October 1st, 2007
Christopher, sorry but I think the plugin is missing the function to add the page tags to the wp_tag_cloud function (it works only for the_tags function now). I’m searching for a solution to fix this.
When I’ll release a new version with this fix you’ll be notified
20:09 on October 1st, 2007
Thank you for the explanation of how to put it in the entry div class. I have it working now. And, I look forward to having these show up in the cloud. I much appreciate your work.
22:57 on October 1st, 2007
Any way to make the tags work with the search feature? Working on an online store where each product has it’s own page, but the search feature still won’t find the pages for some reason. TIA.
08:57 on October 2nd, 2007
i managed to include the page-tags in the tag-cloud. - you have to remove the post_type in both sql-statements in wp-includes/taxonomy.php. - not a nice solution, but it works. important: after you applied the changes you have to add/remove a tag, because the tag_cloud is based on cached results!
berny
06:17 on October 6th, 2007
Berny,
Thanks. I am looking through taxonomy.php but I’m not a php guy, so could you please be a bit more specific on which lines I need to comment out? Thanks.
13:53 on October 6th, 2007
hi christopher!
i posted a detailed description regarding your question on my weblog.
berny
18:01 on October 6th, 2007
Berny,
Thank you so much! It works like a dream. I’ll have to remember to update manually.
17:58 on October 8th, 2007
@Berny & @Christopher: I found the time to test the wp_tag_cloud function and I can tell you that my plugin works well with that function too.
If you active my plugin and use the wp_tag_cloud function it shows up tags from pages too “as is”, without changing anything in the WP files.
Could you check it please?
10:08 on October 9th, 2007
@christopher: you’re welcome!
@michele: you’re right, it also shows tags for pages, but only if you used these tags for posts, too. - in other words, tags which are only associated with pages are not included in the tag cloud.
berny
10:17 on October 9th, 2007
@berny: Thank you very much, you are right that is the problem, and I’m looking for the solution, stay tuned.
00:24 on October 10th, 2007
Great idea for a plugin, and just what I was after. I look forward to seeing your solution to the tag cloud “problem”.
18:33 on October 15th, 2007
Solution to page tags not rendering in the cloud.
I can not get the required change to work within the “add_filter” — ie. not the nice WP plugin way… but my dirty hack is the following:
./wp-includes/taxonomy.php
== line: 1391 {orig} ==
$count = $wpdb->get_var(”SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->term_relationships, $wpdb->posts WHERE $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_type = ‘post’ AND term_taxonomy_id = ‘$term’”);
== line: 1391 {modified} ==
$count = $wpdb->get_var(”SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->term_relationships, $wpdb->posts WHERE $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND (post_type = ‘post’ OR post_type = ‘page’) AND term_taxonomy_id = ‘$term’”);
Basically - this is what updates the count on the “wp_term_taxonomy” table… and that is what drives the tag cloud.
If this plugin gets updated to include that modification in a clean way, I’d love to hear about it.
Big Thanks, Michele Marcucci!

Hello word !
The plugin SimpleTags can manage Page with tags without hack. (for counter)
It allow to display pages in tag search.
Try, like and share
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-tags/
It added lot’s of functions…
Autocompletion, suggested tags, mass edit, etc ;)

I am new to WP, but not new to web pages, message boards and php. I would not consider myself expert enough in any of it to do more than give a cursory level class to anyone though.
I am trying to get a Blog going. I have read about tags, meta, and clouds… Now I am a little confused as to how they are used and edited. In HTML you might use Metatags, but meta seems to have a different use here.
I have also looked into Ultimate Tag Warrior and tags4page… I understand some plugins do not work with 2.3, so I have been careful to not work with anything I am not sure works with this version. I could not find where UTW works with 2.3, so unless Iam wrong, I am just staying away from that.
So I uploaded tags4page…
How do I go about editing the input so that I can have tags improve SEO????? I can’t seem to find anything in the control panel areas of WP…
Mostly I am looking to just have the site have editable tags… not too concerned about pages…

Great plugin for wordpress. It´s exactly what I looked for. Thanks!
23:49 on December 12th, 2007
Thanks a lot! It works just fine - and I like the ability to put tags on my static pages. Thanks again.

Very good plugin; I was surprised to find that WordPress did not include this functionality. But this plugin seems to be doing the job well. Thanks.

After updating to WordPress 2.5 all tag links
/tag/foo/resulted in a 404 page. I deactivated all plugins and was able to narrow it down to tags4page as the cause. I appreciate the functionality of the plugin and wouldn’t like to miss it. Pleeeeaaase fix it.16:26 on April 10th, 2008
Thanks for this great plugin. Seems not to work with 2.5. :(
07:04 on April 13th, 2008
Here’s a solution for the problem with WP 2.5.
You need to change the function addpagetowhere to look like this:
function addpagetowhere( $where ) {
if( is_tag() ) {
$where = preg_replace(
“/ ([0-9a-zA-Z_]*\.?)post_type = ‘post’/”,
“(${1}post_type = ‘post’ OR ${1}post_type = ‘page’)”, $where );
}
return $where;
}
The existing version produces bad SQL in WP 2.5, but this should fix it. Hope people find this helpful.
19:57 on April 13th, 2008
Thank you for the hack. I can’t fix the problem this way.
WP still returns a 404 when I call a http://domain.de/tag/tag4page
Have a look ….
08:41 on April 14th, 2008
Thank you John I just released the 1.1 version with your changes. Now it should work with Wordpress 2.5 too.
08:40 on April 17th, 2008
Yeap, v1.1 DOES work with 2.5 now! Thx

I’ve just tried this plugin out,the latest version and I still experience the problem that was mentioned earlier.
Tags that are used in only pages, do not show up in the tag cloud.
Any fix for this?
Thanks.
10:40 on July 17th, 2008
Michele, I don’t know what I’d do without you. Your many plugins have really helped improve my blog. Thanks again.
19:25 on July 24th, 2008
Update - tested this and it works on WP 2.5.1 - some themes may have to be modified for tag clouds, etc to make it work properly. That is a theme problem and not a problem with the plugin at all.
23:01 on July 28th, 2008
Yeah this plugin is the bomb, especially if you have a lot of pages instead of posts (wordpress as a content management system etc..) makes the search much more useful.
08:03 on July 29th, 2008
hi this is nice plugin…it has solved my lots of problems related to pages and it’s functionality ..
thnx guys
22:25 on August 7th, 2008
Hi there — I have a website with a lot of pages. I’m trying to use this plugin and wp_query to add the three newest posts with a certain tag to a section on the front page. Here’s the code I’m using (hope this shows up):
have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>
<a href="" title=""><img src="/images/strelica2.gif" width="6px" height="5px" alt="" />
Unfortunately, nothing shows up. I tried adding that tag to a blog post, and it showed up. So, these page tags aren’t being treated as being the same as blog post tags. Do you know any way around this?
PS - I tried the Simple Tags plugin as well — it worked the same way.
22:25 on August 7th, 2008
Eh … that code didn’t show up right. You get the idea.

Hello,
This plugin is great, one problem I found in WP 2.6.2.
To display the tags on page you have to insert something like
However when visiting a tag page i.e. http://stcssafety.com/tag/nebosh-international
a second line of tag words is automatically added. If I delete/remove the part I manually added the the page then the tag words are also remoed from the page however are correctly displayed in the tag url and there is no repeating of the tag words.
Does any one know how I can have my tag words on page without duplicating the tag words when visiting the tag url pages??? maybe something like:
if (is_tag()){
echo “”;
}
else {
echo “.the_tags().”;
}
Thanks for the help
17:23 on November 19th, 2008
Hi Guys,
I just tested the above code and it works - it didnt display correctly above so i’ll re-type here what i replaced the usual code with the following code :
<?php if (is_tag()){
echo “”;
}
else {
echo “”;
echo “the_tags()”;
echo “”;
}
Now I don’t get doubled of the tag words in the tag urls :-)
