Smart Tags for WordPress

Manage WordPress tags manually or with Claude API suggestions — always with manual approval.

Overview

Smart Tags for WordPress sends your post tags to the Claude API (Anthropic) in batches and asks it to spot near-duplicates, semantic overlaps, and low-usage tags that could be merged into a broader existing tag. Nothing is changed automatically: every suggestion is queued for review and only applied when you approve it. Alongside the AI analysis, a 'Manage Tags' tab covers manual, non-AI tag housekeeping: usage statistics, search, merge, and delete.

Key features

  • ●Batch analysis of all tags via the Claude API, with a live processing log, progress tracking, and a stop button.
  • ●Merge suggestions grouped by type: near-duplicates, semantic overlaps, low-usage tags.
  • ●Per-suggestion Approve/Reject/Restore, plus multi-select bulk actions on each suggestions table.
  • ●Rejected suggestions are kept, not discarded, and can be restored to pending at any time.
  • ●A 'Manage Tags' tab for non-AI housekeeping: usage histogram, searchable/sortable/paginated tag table, individual or bulk deletion, and a manual merge tool.
  • ●Unused tag detection (0 posts) with bulk delete and a tool to recount drifted tag counts.
  • ●Configurable AI model, batch size, and response language for Claude's suggestion text.
  • ●Git Updater compatible for updates straight from GitHub.

Changelog
  • Fixed locked tags being unable to enter the merge selection at all, even as the merge target (which always survives a merge — only source tags get deleted). Removed the lock filtering from add_to_merge_basket() and get_merge_basket_terms() in includes/class-wpto-admin-page.php, from process_add_tags_by_name() (dropping its "Skipped locked tag(s)" notice), and removed WPTO_Merge_Handler::apply()'s rejection of a locked target. Locked tags remain fully protected as a merge source: apply() still skips them there instead of deleting them.

For the full version history, see CHANGELOG.md.
