  Hello,
  Is there a limit in number of categories and tags (not per post but) for whole wordpress site/blog)?
  (For example, on blogger it is 5000 labels per blog …)
  Thanks!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi There,

  There is no such limit to the number of categories and tags for the site or any specific post.

  You can add as many tags as you like to a post. However, the WordPress.com Reader will filter out posts using more than 15 tags and categories (combined) as an anti-spam measure.

  Please check the below guide for more details:-

  Organize Posts with Categories

  However, you don’t want irrelevant content showing up on the topic listings or search, and neither do we. That’s why we limit the number of tags and categories that can be used on a public tag listing. Five to 15 tags (or categories, or a combination of the two) is a good number to add to each of your posts. The more tags and/or categories you use, the less likely it is that your post will be selected for inclusion in the topic listings.
