Categories and Tags are the main ways you can organize WordPress content. However, on a normal WordPress site, both Categories and Tags are only available for Posts. This means that you can’t organize your Pages, unless you use the Parent/Child setup. You also can’t perform some useful tasks with PublishPress plugins. For example, you could…
We had an interesting question from a PublishPress user this week: I am trying to allow user in one role to choose an existing Tag, but not allow them to create new Tags. This was simple enough to do with Categories, but I cannot figure it out for Tags. This was a great question that…
