To create post tags in WordPress, follow these steps:
Step 1: Log in to the WordPress Admin Dashboard Open your web browser and enter the URL of your WordPress website followed by "/wp-admin" (e.g., "www.example.com/wp-admin"). Enter your administrator username and password to log in. After successful login, you will be redirected to the WordPress admin dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to the Tags Section In the admin dashboard, locate the sidebar menu on the left-hand side. Find and hover over the "Posts" option. This will expand a submenu with options like "All Posts," "Add New," "Categories," and more. Click on "Tags" to access the tags section.
Step 3: Add a New Tag On the "Tags" page, you will see a form to add a new tag. Enter the name of your new tag in the "Name" field. You can also add a slug, which is the URL-friendly version of the tag name.
Step 4: Save the New Tag After entering the tag details, click on the "Add New Tag" button to create and save the new tag in WordPress.
Step 5: Assign Tags to Posts Once you have created tags, you can assign them to your posts when creating or editing them. In the post editor screen, look for the "Tags" meta box on the right-hand side. Start typing the name of the tag you want to assign, and WordPress will display suggestions based on existing tags. Select the appropriate tag or create a new one if it doesn't exist. You can assign multiple tags to a single post.
Step 6: Update or Publish the Post After assigning the desired tags to your post, click on the "Update" or "Publish" button to save or publish the post with the assigned tags.
Congratulations! You have successfully created post tags in WordPress. These tags can be used to categorize and organize your posts based on common themes or topics. You can repeat these steps to create additional tags as needed and assign them to your posts for better content classification.
