I spelled a tag wrong but it’s already attached to a post, what do I do?
I have received this question about a half dozen times each week, and finally have decided to write a quick post, outlining how to change tags, simply and effectively…
- On the dashboard, click the “posts” section
- Click on post tags
- Either search for the tag you are looking for (partial words/tags will show up) or browse through all your tags to find the one you are looking for
- Mouse over the tag you want to edit
- Click “quick edit”
- Change the name to be whatever you want the new name to be (correct spelling, etc)
- Change the slug to match the name, only words, with dashes between each word.
- Click update tag. This will automatically update the tag on every post it is associated with.
Hope this helps to answer the question! What other questions do you have about wordpress that I can help with?
