How do I get my tags to show up in my post?

    How do I get my tags I set for that page to show up at the bottom of each post?

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

  • Hi there,

    The only way to move tags from the top of the post to the bottom is by adding custom CSS to override your theme. To do that you’ll need to be on our Premium or Business plan.

    As it is I would be happy if my tags showed up at the top, but they don’t show up anywhere.

    Would changing my theme help?

  • I can see several tags showing at the top of your most recent post, https://ecclesiologyproper.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/where-i-disagree-with-the-following-movements/

    No other post on your site currently have tags added, so the other posts on your site won’t display anything there. You need to edit your other posts and add relevant tags in order for tags to display there as well.

    That is not the blog I’m referring to. In any case I’m guessing that ability to display tags on blog posts is dependant on the theme you are using. The blog I’m referring to has many tags I’ve input into the post but I had to make a php tweek in order to get those tags to actually display for viewers.

    I guess if I used a different theme, I wouldn’t need the PHP hack.

    My blog is Jungiantypeschapter10.wordpress.com

    You will now see tags displayed at the bottom of posts due to a PHP hack I have added to each individual page.

    But I don’t want to have to add the hack. I shouldn’t have to. I would also like the tags to show up at the top of the posts so they viewers see those first.

    In any case, I guess my true question is , is the functionality I seek just dependant on what theme I use? Do some themes actually display tags by default?

    Hi there,

    The location of where tags appear on individual posts is determined by the theme developers of a given theme. For your site, Jungiantypeschapter10.wordpress.com tags will appear on the bottom of the individual post:

    There are ways to change the location of tags through plugins or PHP modifications which are available for sites utilizing the WordPress.com Business plan. For your site on our free plan, you may need to choose a theme that has tags in the location you desire or upgrade to a paid plan to change the location with CSS ( Premium and above) or PHP/Plugin (Business).
