My bad. I realize now that I'm posting in the wp.com forums, and not wp.org forums. I realize this won't work on wp.com because it's a custom request. I'll post the same request over there. Sorry for not noticing this sooner.

@smunga: The blog linked to your username has no posts and no tags or categories. If you're talking about another blog, we need the link to it.

G'evening,
We have categories and we have tags. You are referring to the latter and that Tag Cloud widget will display only 45 of the most used tags. There is no automatic way to craete a page with all tags on it. You can creat a page manually and then copy and paste the data on to it.

Here is where your tags are located in your dashboard:

Here are instructions for creating a page:

Unfortunately, there is no shortcode for tags. You may try contacting [http://en.support.wordpress.com/] for this suggestion. Try the "Journalist v1.9" theme and create a page using the "Archive" template. You will see the "tags" in a "cloud form".

Thank you for your replies. Unfortunately neither of these responses address my issue.

I'd like to create a "page" that lists all my tags (topics) out. I do realize I could do this in a sidebar, but that's not what I want.

Also, the archive shortcode is helpful, but doesn't display tags.

Any other suggestions?

You can do this with the categories widget in a sidebar. There is a checkbox to make it display the post count as well as the categories themselves. Apart from that I think you'd have to type it all out by hand and keep it updated manually each time you add a new post.

Greetings. I am looking for a way to create a page that lists out all topics (tags) on one page. Basically, I want a true topic index for my site that lists out all the various topics and how many associated posts there are with each topic.

Example:

Topic1 (5) Topic4 (3)
Topic2 (2) Topic5 (9)
Topic3 (11) Topic6 (1)

I don't know the best way to accomplish this, or even where to start. Any ideas to get me pointed in the right direction (or an existing solution) would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Report that to staff via your Dashboard support link, if you haven't already.

Well, I don't mind that it's not showing up for the categories. As long as the posts aren't completely excluded from all tags.

But the WP folks may want to know that the problem is still there.

Very odd. I can't find a reason for that at all.

raincoaster, I've removed all duplicate tags/categories, but it still won't show up in the relevant index if it's only placed in that category.

Categories are still not being indexed.
Only the tags seem to be working now.

teck, that bug has been known for over a year.

Since tags and categories are treated exactly the same by the tags pages and by search engines. They don't treat them differently. Having duplicated tags/categories would be seen as tag spamming and that is probably why posts with duplicates are not included.

I notice a small glitch pertaining tags if you schedule a post to post at a
later date & time.When the date & time arrives & your posts goes live on your blog
if you click on one of the tags you have assigned to the post the artricle link to your
post doesn't show up on the global tag page. But if you edit the post after the post goes live
then your article link shows up on the global tag page.

raincoaster — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 03:34:23 +0000

Yes, never add a tag that is exactly the same as a category. That has never worked. It doesn't do you any good anyway, since they would each link to the same page.

eksith on "Posts not showing up on tag/category index"

eksith — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 03:32:11 +0000

Thank you!

I tried it and that seems to work.
But I noticed that if I added a tag that's the same as a category title, then it still won't work.

Looks like the glitch is still there, but at least it's not completely exluding all tags. I can live with being indexed on only a few tags.

Thanks again!

One person reported that if she removed all tags and categories, saved the post, then reopened it for edit and added the tags/categories back her posts began showing up.

Thanks for replying so quick.

I double checked my tags again...
Tags + Categories are all under 12 for both of them but still not in the index.

I tried that re-edit > save trick too, but still no luck.

I'll try and see if anything has changed after a few hours.

Thanks again for the answer.

thesacredpath on "Posts not showing up on tag/category index"

Also, due to tag spammers, wordpress.COM has instituted a limit on the number of tags + categories that you can use and still appear in the tags pages. As long as you keep the total of tags + categories at 12 or under, you should be fine. Anything over a total of 12 and it is highly unlikely your post will appear in the tags pages.

Some people were putting up to 100 tags on their post, and in some cases the same 100 regardless of whether they were relevant to the post or not. Sadly, they screwed things up for all of us by trying to game the system.

There was an issue with the tags pages and staff said it is now fixed, but it may take an hour or so for things to show up. Try opening the posts that are not showing up in the visual editor, changing on small thing (like adding a space and the deleting it, then save the post and see if it shows up in the tags pages.

I've made a couple of posts over two days and neither one showed up on any of the tag index pages.
"Site of the week" and "Rorschach vs Batman".

Has my blog been labeled as "mature" or something? I don't think I have any objectonable content there.

Thanks for any help you can give.
