  Using an Edin theme on karbantartas22.wordpress.com I can not add tags to my pages.
  Please tell me what went wrong.
  Thanks!

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

  Howdy Tetlakugyved,
  Just make sure you have logged in the correct user , the blog you talk about is karbantartas22.wordpress.com
  And the blog associated with the username you have posted this query is tetlakugyved.wordpress.com

  Also here is some information which will help you understand tags

  Right now I’m using the same user for both blogs.
  On karbantartas22 there isn’t a “Tags” option in the left column over the Featured Image. It is possible that this theme (Edin) doesn’t contain this option? Or shall I add a new user to manage the second blog?

  Hi ,
  In the Edin theme , you need to go the particular post , and on the left hand side you will find Categories and just below you would find Tags, with a empty box , you just need to add the tags and should work fine.
  The tags should appear in the post.
  Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further information.

  Hi,
  that’s great, thanks.
  So I can not tag the Pages, only the posts. Am I right?

  Hi there,
  No you cant add tags to pages in WordPress. They have different purposes.
  Tags and Categories are really meant for Posts and allow you to display those posts in different ways, including a link in your navigation bar (via a Custom Menu) to a dynamically created page that includes all the posts in a specific category.

  Thinking in the long term, as you add more and more pages to your site, your site navigation will become unwieldy and confusing for any site visitor.

  If you publish Posts and tag/categorize them appropriately, you can add that special link in your navigation bar for site visitors to click on.

  Let us know if you need any further information. Would be happy to help.
