Managing Tags

Comprehensive guide to creating, updating, merging, and deleting tags

Viewing and Searching Tags

To view all tags associated with your blog, navigate to the Tags page in your dashboard. Here, you can see a list of tags, each displaying its name and the number of articles associated with it. You can search for specific tags by entering a keyword in the search bar. The search is case-insensitive and matches tags by their name.

  • Use the search feature to quickly find tags by name.

Creating a New Tag

To create a new tag, enter the desired tag name in the input field at the top of the Tags page. Press 'Enter' or click the 'Create' button to add the tag. The name must be unique within your blog. If a tag with the same slug (a URL-friendly version of the name) already exists, you will receive an error message.

  • Ensure the tag name is descriptive and relevant to the articles it will categorize.

Renaming a Tag

To rename a tag, click on the tag name to enter edit mode. Modify the name as needed and press 'Enter' or click the 'Save' button to apply changes. If the new name results in a slug that conflicts with an existing tag, an error will be displayed. You can cancel the rename operation by pressing 'Escape' or clicking the 'Cancel' button.

  • Renaming a tag updates its slug, which must remain unique.

Deleting a Tag

To delete a tag, click the trash icon next to the tag. If the tag is associated with articles, a confirmation prompt will appear. Confirm the deletion to remove the tag. Note that deleting a tag will not affect the articles themselves.

  • Ensure that you want to delete a tag, as this action cannot be undone.

Merging Tags

To merge tags, select multiple tags using the checkboxes next to their names. Click the 'Merge' button that appears when two or more tags are selected. In the merge panel, choose a target tag to which all articles from the selected tags will be reassigned. Confirm the merge to combine the tags. The source tags will be deleted, and their articles will be associated with the target tag.

  • Select a target tag that best represents the combined content of the merged tags.
