Tag Groups Premium – WordPress Plugin

Finally a tag cloud that is searchable! Filter your tags by group and by name. All matching tags rearrange live in a nifty animation.

Automatically display your post tags segmented into groups. This is particularly useful if the same tag belongs to multiple groups.

Imagine you run an blog with recipes. Your recipes are tagged with ingredients, preparation times, difficulty level, meal time etc.. Wouldn’t it be nice to let your customers choose among those properties and view a list of recipies that match these criteria?

The Dynamic Post Filter lets you do exactly that: It displays a list of post that match selected tags.

A special filter lets you search for items that match at least one of the tags from each group. Search for recipes that use milk or nuts with a preparation time of 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Or display photos of landscape or architecture or food taken in Brazil or Norway or Japan. Or filter your travel blog posts by places (Grand Canyon or Pyramids or Himalaya) and years (2004 or 2014).

Tag Groups Premium does not only add a second layer to your tags. You can even assign the same tag to multiple groups. Break away from the limits of default hierarchies – remember that each category can have only one parent. But what if you need to sort your tag “Mel Gibson” under both “Actors” and “Directors”, or “Updates” under “Software” and “News”? Now it is possible!

Replace the default box to add tags to a post with a box that lets you select tags sorted by groups. Find a tag by starting its first letters, or select them with your mouse. You can move tags to other groups by drag and drop.¹

Some features may show you how powerful this tool is:

• Bulk Adding of Tags: Add all tags of one group with the click of a button. If you often need to add the same set of tags, instead of adding them every time one-by-one, you just join them in a group. You can have multiple tag groups, defining sets of tags that can now be inserted in one go.

• Control Your Tags: Restrict the creation of new tags in the Meta Box, or moving tags to other groups. You can restrict it for everyone, or grant exceptions for certain user roles (administrator, editor, author). That way you can prevent that post authors mess up your tag collection.
• Identify New Tags And Prevent Typos: See immediately by color if a tag is new. That way you can reduce the risk of accidentally adding a new tag by misspelling the existing tag that you actually wanted to enter.

This even works with flat custom taxonomies, like product tags.

Just like its free companion, Tag Groups Premium makes the best of the new Gutenberg editor: Configure your tag clouds and the Dynamic Post Filter with a sleek user interface.

No more meddling with shortcode parameters!

Naturally, the premium plugin offers all features that you get with the free plugin. Check them out here.

Tag Groups Premium is officially compatible with the WordPress Multilingual plugin (WPML): Group names are translatable. Simply edit them for each language.
