This extension-/module-combination is intended for tagging weblog entries.

Simple as in basic.
There really are no bells & whistles or shiny interfaces. Any custom field can be designated as a field containing comma-separated tags. When posting, updating or deleting an entry the tagging database table is updated accordingly.
If you happen to already have such a field, e.g. used for <meta name=“keywords”> or the like, you can also re-index all your existing entries without the need to update them bit by bit.

Tags as in informally assigning relevant keywords or phrases to entries and being able to use this information to access them.
This version only supports tagging by the authors, not by your visitors. Currently there are no plans to change this.

Features:

  • Tag weblog entries
  • Retrieve weblog entries based on their tag(s)
  • Tagcloud
  • Related tags
  • Related entries (that have x number of tags in common)
  • Recently used tags
  • AJAX auto-suggest when entering tags (Control Panel and SAEF)
  • Any custom field with comma-separated keywords can become a tagging field
    • thus Tags may be searchable with EE’‘s built-in search
    • the data remains even if you uninstall the module
    • existing data can easily be adopted without manual re-tagging of older entries
    • importing entries from other sources works with normal import utilities

Most of the features can be seen in action in the weblog on this site.

It doesn’t work because the plugin was written for Expression Engine and not for Wordpress.

What does Donationware mean?
Donationware means you may use this addon in as many installations as you like. You are not required to pay anything for it, I would however appreciate a small donation if you like the addon and continue to use it. The amount is totally up to you.
