WordPress Wednesday: MultiTags Plugin

Published on Oct 27, 2010   //  WordPress

The tags that you attach to your blog posts are a great way for readers to look for other relevant content on your site. They can be more powerful than the post categories you assign, but how do you go about reconciling multiple tags?

WordPress automatically generates a page for all the posts that have been assigned the same post tag, but what if a reader wants to look up posts that have two or more tags? That’s where the MultiTags plugin can come in handy. In effect, it allows for dynamic combinations of multiple tags.

For instance, let’s say that a reader is interested in Vancouver sushi restaurants. He would then be interested in both the “Vancouver” and the “sushi” tags that you may have assigned, but not necessarily all the “Vancouver” content, nor all the “sushi” content. He’d only want posts that have both.

With this plugin, that search critieria is possible. For more information, check out WP MultiTags on Vogel-Nest.de. The download link is there as well.

  • Many thanks for writing about this plugin.

    Let me add that it is (with some manual adaption described on the faq-page of the wordpress-plugin page http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multitags/faq/ ) possible to fix the RSS-Feed as well.
    So that your readers that are interested in “Vancouver” and “sushi” can get the exact feed for these tags.
