WP Tag Order

Order tags independently in each posts (not site-globally) on WordPress with simple Drag-and-Drop ↕︎ sortable feature.

Important

This plugin is NOT compatible with Gutenberg on WordPress 5.x. Consider using Classic Editor Plugin.

Important

Mutation events will no longer be supported in Google Chrome and Edge in July 2024 (Google Chrome on July 23, 2024, and Microsoft Edge the week of July 25, 2024). As a result, WP Tag Order versions 3.6.0 or less will not work with Chrome v127 and later, which will be released on July 23, 2024.
You have to update to v3.7.0 or later.
If you still need PHP7 support, see Troubleshooting below.
See Chrome for Developers Blog for more details.

Get Started

1. Clone this Repo into your wp-content/plugins directory.

2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings -> WP Tag Order page to select which taxonomies to enable ordering for.

For Developers

• The ordered tag data is serialized and stored in the wp_postmeta table under keys like wp-tag-order-{taxonomy}.

  meta_id	post_id	meta_key	meta_value
  19	7	wp-tag-order-post_tag	s:91:"a:7:{i:0;s:1:"7";i:1;s:1:"5";i:2;s:2:"10";i:3;s:1:"4";i:4;s:1:"6";i:5;s:1:"8";i:6;s:1:"9";}";

• This Plugin does not hosting on the wordpress.org repo in order to prevent a flood of support requests from wide audience. Your feedback is welcome.

Troubleshooting

Still need support for PHP 7.

I have a branch php7 to support PHP 7 and End-of-Life for JaveScript Mutation events.
The branch will not be maintained anymore, so I recommend you migrate to PHP 8.
