Tag Managing Thing allows you to edit your tags.
To Download
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/tag-managing-thing.zip has the latest version.
To Install
Drop the plugin file into your wordpress plugins folder.
Enable the plugin
To Use
In the Manage section of wp-admin, there is a Tags menu item. Selecting it will take you to the Tag Managing Thing interface.
It allows selecting the taxonomy to work with. Currently in wordpress there is a category and a post_tag taxonomy. Selecting a taxonomy allows editing the terms within that taxonomy.
Once a term has been selected you can perform the following tasks
- Change the name and slug of the term
- Delete a term
- Split a term into multiple terms
- Merge other terms into the selected term
- Change a term to belong in a different taxonomy
well hello christine, a seemingly bug here in the Tag Managing Thing.
if you want to edit the first tag, you have to select another tag, then select the first tag again.
fix it plz, would you? :p
Is there a download mirror for this thing? I’m having problems with the current download location. Thanks.
hmm, you somehow forgot to define a function perhaps?
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_taxonomy() in /home/jbl/homepage/wp-content/plugins/tag-managing-thing/TagManagingThing.php on line 13
nescius,
That is a wordpress function and ought to be there in WordPress 2.3. Unless it vanished in the past week. Which I guess isn’t impossible.

As I’ve been updating tags, the split option fails for me. As I understand from the read me, if you select a tag and then repeat that tag as well as the others that tag should split to, it will re-add the selected tag as part of the split. Any tag that it is a duplicate gets removed entirely from the database. If I already had the tag music and were to split “musicvideo” into “music, video, musicvideo”, both musicvideo and music get deleted. Am I misunderstanding the split function?

Kudos Christine. Managing tags… one cannot but wonder why this has not been included in WP. The need of managing ones tags should be obvious to just about anyone, no?
Well at least we have this thing here now!
Are you planning on expanding it, so it hooks into the “write” page too (as does UTW)?
Keep up the good work.
Tested this thing and it works wonderfully. Love it!

Hi Christine, seems that the AJAX-adding-tag feature is not yet exist anymore in 2.3
That means I have to add the tags for each post logged into wp-admin.
That is really too complicated if I want to add tags to many posts.

Hi, I’ve been using Tag Managing Thing for a few weeks now. I just upgraded to version 1.0, and now every time I try to make a change, I get the message, “An invalid term ID was passed in.” Looking at the PHP code, I see it’s trying to pull the edittag field from the query string. Only one problem: there is no edittag field. Looking at the HTML, it turns out the edittag select box is actually in a different form than the rest of the controls, so of course it’s not getting submitted with the others.
I modified my copy to put everything in one form, starting before the tmtLeftPanel DIV and ending right before the BR clear=”all”, and it seems to be working now. I was able to merge a pair of tags successfully.
On a less critical note, the admin page breaks XHTML validation. Since WordPress tries to produce valid XHTML, it would be nice if the admin page would properly escape ampersands and close empty tags like INPUT.
First off let them thank you for this excellent plugin. I didn’t realize what a pain managing Tags was until WP 2.3 came out, and I suddenly had a new problem I didn’t before (I also suddenly realized how cool merging tags was in about 10mins of tagging).
I just upgraded to the latest build of Tag Managing and noticed that now when I try and merge tags (“digital-photography” with “digital-camera”) I’m getting a pink error dialog box after the operation fails saying: “An invalid term ID was passed in.”
Don’t know if this was a hickup with the release or I did something wrong (which is entirely possible… and more likely
Kelson/Riyad,
My bad; fixed in version 1.0.1 (:
Thanks for the quick update! I’ve installed it, and everything seems to be working now!
Wonderful plugin, much needed… As a request, would it be possible instead of only “Switch Term Taxonomy” to have a Duplicate Term Taxonomy so that already used categories could easily be duplicated and assigned as tags? The built in converter destroys the category structure.

I was wondering about the “uses” label on the list of tags? I have many that say “0 uses”, even though they have been used as tags. Where is the plugin drawing it’s info from when deciding if a tag has been used?
It’s using the information that wordpress spits out – I’m not doing any of that figuring out, myself.

I’ve encountered a “bug” when using this plug-in with a WordPress install using a foreign language file.
When the “Save” button text is translated into a different language under EDIT TERM section, the translated “Save” text is being passed on as a variable and the plug-in doesn’t save the new term name and slug. There is no errors generated, it just doesn’t save. This could also pose a problem with other buttons related to this plug-in, however I haven’t tested it.
The simple fix is to delete the PHP code generating the translated text and hard code the button value to value=”Save”.
Love the plug-in, keep up the good work.
Unfortunatelly, it didn’t work for me. Btw, I can’t change tags even if I try direct at the mysql tables…

Hi Christine,
Thanks for the new cleanup feature.
Could you also add another feature which cleans up tags with no name too?
I have a lot of tags which have no name, and only a numbered slug.
Is download broken ?

Thank you for adding the “delete unused tags” feature – I have been searching high and low for a while for a solution that would do this as easily as Tag Managing Thing does.
Thank you again.

Thank you SO MUCH for this plugin — After accidentally using the new Category to Tag Converter, I realised there was no Tag to Category Converter to switch them back. After scouring the wp plugins database, your plugin was EXACTLY what I needed and was looking for. I really appreciate it, thanks again =)
