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.

Hi Michele,
I’m sorry for cross-posting, but it seems, that you don’t maintain your plugin tags4page anymore. – I’ve implemented a plugin called TagPages which enables tags-functionality for pages in WordPress 3.0 (and higher).
Greetz,
Berny
Ps.: I’ve used your plugin for years, but couldn’t wait any longer.

hi,
here’s another ‘can you please fix tags4page to work with wp 3.0?’-comment. ;) btw. just for the records: same behavior here: shows the tags, but doesn’t store any changes.
@martin: have a look at my post. – it shows you how you can modify taxonomy.php to include the page-tags in the tag-cloud. – that’s the only way, that works since wp 2.3 for me…

I’d be soo happy too if the plugin would work with WP3 <3

Heeelp! Please be so kind and fix this beautiful tool for WP3x. And whilst you on it; please make the tags appear in tag clouds, that would top it all up!
How can people live without this plugin??
Thanks
George

Thanks for sharing such a valuable information. I was looking some thing like this.

The plugin doesn’t work with WordPress 3.0 FIX PLEASE! I love your plugin :)

The plugin does not save any new tag in WordPress 3.0
but it seems to keep old tags entered with tags4page
Would it be possible to fix this wonderful plugin ?
thank you very much

Tags for pages is one of the most crucial functions vanilla WP is missing. AFAIK your plugin is the only one to fill that gap. Thanks for that!
Two minor things:
- any chance to have the tags assigned to pages show up in tag cloud etc.?
- looks like there is a glitch in combination with WP 3.x, would be great if this plugin was supported for future versions!
thanks again,
cheers

Thank you so much Michele for the great plugin, it’s very simple and working great, specially with the YARPP with thumbnails, it actually “called”/displayed all my related posts with thumbnails in all pages which is a big bonus. BUT here we go, just after upgrading yesterday from 2.9 to wordpress 3.0 it’s stopped saving the tags and they don’t show up on new pages i created, they do show up in all other pages. Any chance you will look for a fix or patch it to work with WP 3.0? Any help will be much appreciated.. and thanks again for the excellent contribution..

Im grappling with this plugin, but may not have done it correctly. I am using the Atahualpa theme. Can you tell me exactly where this line should go? (Like which file, in which folder) I am not a PHP guy, but can follow instructions. Your comment below
