Linkify Tags Plugin

The plugin provides a widget called “Linkify Tags” as well as a template tag, c2c_linkify_tags(), which allow you to easily specify tags to list and how to list them. Tags are specified by either ID or slug. See other parts of the documentation for example usage and capabilities.

Developer Documentation

Developer documentation can be found in DEVELOPER-DOCS.md. That documentation covers the template tag and hook provided by the plugin.

As an overview, this is the template tag provided by the plugin:

• c2c_linkify_tags() : Template tag to display links to each of any number of tags specified via tag IDs/slugs. You can customize text to show before and/or after the entire listing, between each tag, and what to display (if anything) when no tags are listed.

This is the hook provided by the plugin:

• c2c_linkify_tags : Allows use of an alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_linkify_categories() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site.

1. Install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or install the plugin code inside the plugins directory for your site (typically /wp-content/plugins/).
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress
3. Optional: Use the c2c_linkify_tags() template tag in one of your templates (be sure to pass it at least the first argument indicating what tag IDs and/or slugs to linkify — the argument can be an array, a space-separate list, or a comma-separated list). Other optional arguments are available to customize the output.
4. Optional: Use the “Linkify Tags” widget in one of the sidebars provided by your theme.
