Upload the `tag-display` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **Tag Display** in the main WordPress menu to configure templates, colors, tag ordering, and auto-display options. 4. Display tags in one of three ways: 5. * **Shortcode** — add `[s7n_tag_display]` to any post or page. * **Gutenberg block** — search for «Tag Display» in the block inserter. * **Automatic** — enable auto-display in **Tag Display Content Types** to add tags to every post automatically. ## FAQ ### How do I use the plugin? Activate the plugin, then go to **Tag Display** in the main WordPress menu to pick a template and configure colors. From there, add tags to your posts in one of three ways: 1. **Shortcode** — paste `[s7n_tag_display]` into any post or page. 2. **Gutenberg block** — search for «Tag Display» in the block inserter. 3. **Automatic** — enable auto-display in **Tag Display Content Types** and tags appear on every post without touching the editor. ### Can I change the template style? Yes. Choose between Default, Minimal, Cloud, Outlined, and Hashtag templates: * From the settings page: **Tag Display General Settings Default Template**. * Via shortcode: `[s7n_tag_display template="outlined"]` * Via Gutenberg block: select the block and use the **Template** option in the sidebar. ### How do I use the Gutenberg block? In the block editor, click the **+** button and search for «Tag Display». Add the block to your post. Use the sidebar panel (**Display Settings**, **Link Options**,** Title**) to override the template, ordering, tag limit, and other options for that specific block — independently of the global settings. ### What shortcode attributes are available? All attributes are optional and override the global settings for that specific instance: ``` [s7n_tag_display template="hashtag" order="count_desc" max="8" exclude="news,draft" nofollow="true" new_tab="true" show_count="true" title="Related topics:"] ``` * `template` — `default`, `minimal`, `cloud`, `outlined`, `hashtag` * `order` — `alpha_asc`, `alpha_desc`, `count_desc`, `count_asc`, `random` (default: global setting) * `max` — maximum number of tags to show, e.g. `max="5"` (0 = all) * `exclude` — comma-separated slugs to hide, e.g. `exclude="news,uncategorized"` * `nofollow` — `true` to add `rel="nofollow"` to tag links * `new_tab` — `true` to open links in a new tab * `show_count` — `true` to show the post count next to each tag, e.g. _WordPress( 12)_ * `title` — custom label above the tags, e.g. `title="Topics:"` (empty string hides the title) ### How do I limit or sort the tags? Open **Tag Display General Settings**: * **Tag Order** — alphabetical (AZ / ZA), by post count (most/least used), or random. * **Max Tags** — show only the first N tags (0 = show all). * **Exclude Tags** — comma-separated slugs of tags to always hide. These settings can also be overridden per-instance via shortcode or Gutenberg block. ### How do I hide specific tags? In **Tag Display General Settings Exclude Tags**, enter the slugs (not names) of the tags you want to hide, separated by commas. Example: `news, uncategorized, draft`. To find a tag’s slug, go to **Posts Tags** in the WordPress admin. ### Can I display tags automatically without a shortcode? Yes. Go to **Tag Display Content Types**, enable auto-display for posts, pages, or custom post types, and choose whether tags appear **before** or **after** the content. ### How do I add rel=»nofollow» or open links in a new tab? Go to **Tag Display General Settings** and enable the **rel=»nofollow»** or **Open in new tab** checkboxes. These can also be set per-instance via shortcode (`nofollow ="true"`, `new_tab="true"`) or Gutenberg block sidebar. ### Can I create a fully custom template from my theme? Yes. Place a file named `tag-display-template-{name}.php` in your theme (or child theme) root folder, where `{name}` is the template you want to override: `default`,` minimal`, `cloud`, `outlined`, or `hashtag`. Example: to override the default template, create `wp-content/themes/your-theme/ tag-display-template-default.php`. The plugin picks it up on the next page load. A commented example file is included in the plugin’s `examples/` folder. The following variables are available in your custom template: * `$tags` — array of WP_Term objects (`->name`, `->slug`, `->count`) * `$display_title` — label text above the tags * `$display_nofollow` — boolean, whether to add `rel="nofollow"` * `$display_new_tab` — boolean, whether to open links in a new tab * `$display_show_count` — boolean, whether to show post count next to each tag ### What is Smart Visibility and how do I use it? Smart Visibility automatically adapts tag display based on how many tags a post has — improving both SEO and user experience. When the count falls below a configurable threshold, the plugin applies the behavior you choose: * **Hide** — suppresses the tag block entirely (no HTML output). Best for SEO: avoids thin tag sections. * **Hidden** — renders tags with `display:none` so they are present in the DOM but invisible. Useful when you want to toggle them via JavaScript without a page reload. * **Collapse** — renders a «Show tags» button; the visitor can expand the list on click. Best for UX on posts with few tags. * **SEO hidden** — tags are visually invisible to visitors but present in the DOM for search crawlers. To enable it, go to **Tag Display Smart Visibility**, turn on the toggle, set your** Minimum Tag Threshold** (default: 3), and pick a behavior. When a post has at least as many tags as the threshold, it displays normally — Smart Visibility is completely transparent. **Content Density Analysis (advanced):** you can also trigger Smart Visibility based on tag density — the ratio of tags to words in the post. Enable «Content Density Analysis» in the Smart Visibility tab and set a density threshold (default: 0.005, which equals 1 tag per 200 words). If the density is below the threshold, the selected behavior applies even if the tag count meets the minimum. **Per-instance override via shortcode:** ``` [s7n_tag_display smart="true" min="3" behavior="collapse"] ``` * `smart` — `true` to enable, `false` to force-disable for this instance regardless of the global setting * `min` — minimum tag threshold for this instance * `behavior` — `hide`, `hidden`, `collapse`, or `seo`; use `force` to bypass Smart Visibility entirely for this instance ### Is it compatible with the latest WordPress version? Tested up to WordPress 6.8.
