How to Add and Manage Tags

Part 1: Adding Tags to an Article

1. Open the article you want to edit (either a draft or a published article).

2. Locate the Add Tag option.

3. Select a Category.

   -In WordPress, the “category” field acts as the grouping, while the “name” you enter is the tag itself.

4. In the Tag field, type your desired tag (for example: Mindfulness).

5. Click Save.

6. Once saved, the category will appear with the new tag listed under it.

7. To add additional tags:

   -Click the category again.

   -Select an existing tag from the list or create a new one by typing it in.

   -Press Create and then Save.

Part 2: Creating New Categories (Optional)

1. If existing categories don’t suit your needs, click to create a new category.

2. Enter the new category name (for example: Article Category).

3. Press Create.

4. After creation, the category will start out empty.

5. Add new tags to this category manually, using the same steps from Part 1.

Part 3: Applying Tags Beyond Articles

1. Listings: Tags can also be added to listings and displayed on provider profile pages.

2. Events:

• Open the event editor.

• Choose a Category and add relevant tags.

1. Consider creating separate event categories if many different people are adding events (to prevent clutter).

Part 4: Managing and Editing Tags (Admin Use)

1. Navigate to the Tags Area in the admin dashboard.

2. View all existing tags.

• Some are system tags (like dud, stale, casual, frequent) used only for reporting.

1. To edit a tag:

• Open the tag.

• Make your changes.

• Click Save.

✅ Key Notes

1. Multiple categories and tags can be applied to each article, listing, or event.

2. Reusing existing categories and tags helps maintain consistency across the site.

3. Only create new categories if necessary to avoid fragmentation.
