One thing I’ve been worried about is the “Add tags as meta keywords” function. Is it still useful or say, is it “duplicated”, since there’s a ‘rel=”tag”‘ within tag links?
This time the good news comes from Ultimate Tag Warrior, another (used-to-be?) must-have plugin.
First, a bugfix version of UTW Final for the current WordPress has been released. Second, a beta version for WordPress 2.3 is out. And of course, the latte…

These seem to be working for me.

I use ‘Tag Managing Thing’ and it works very nice :-)
I have a suggestion, how about insert blank line on tag selection box? When I try to edit first tag, I must select something else first :-|
And, do you have a plan for ‘Tag Display Thing’? I’ve made a plugin for display tags refer to UTW and wordpress 2.3 core functions, but it would be very nice if there’s a ‘Thing’.
Thanks!

Christine, when you do the “Related Posts” this time, remember to add related posts in rss feeds too.
[...] Upon learning that WordPress developers are cooking up a new version of my beloved blogging platform, I asked myself if I should upgrade once the new version is out. So should I? I think I should. It definitely fixes a lot of various bugs and security issues. I would also like to try it out since they used jQuery, which they say is “800% faster” than what they used before. Also, they announced that a built-in tagging system is in the works. So it’s definitely something to check out. While waiting for the latest stable release, I started reading up on what to expect and what’s new. I then found out that for me to use my theme with 2.3, I would have to sacrifice some of the plugins my theme uses. I would hate to leave Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW), but Christine already announced that there will be no more development for the awesome plugin and that there are currently “Things” that can make the new tag system “behave” like UTW. Of course, it’s not the same thing, but it’s still something to ease the pain of losing UTW. [...]
Probably the biggest things i liked from UTW, are the weighted tag cloud (alphabetical and by posts) UTW_ShowWeightedTagSetAlphabetical(”coloredsizedtagcloud”,”",0) and UTW_ShowWeightedTagSet(”coloredsizedtagcloud”,”",30), and the dropdown or full listing of all tags from within the post page – those are really the two major features that helped with tagging and not creating new tags accidentally when i’m feeling plural or not for example, then UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost(”commalist”) for my footer in each post.
If that post listing maybe even replace the plain (new) tags text box, and the theme tags — at least some of the most popular types can be Wordpress Things, then i’m sure alot of people would be set or at least myself. Even better if rolled up into one plugin ultimately – it would be like UTW Lite!

Thanks for UTW, it was a great plugin. I’m also using these three plugins on my site already. Is it too much to ask for a plugin that will let us migrate the UTW tags over to the new WP?
I totally second what Chris N. said above (8) about the coloured/weighted feature. It’s the main reason that keeps me from updating to WP 2.3. The presentation of the tags in WP 2.3 sucks. Well, it’s not as cool and easy to implement as in UTW, anyway. :-)
When I switch of UTW, I cant use WP tagging. I have error:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE tag = 'name of tag'' at line 1]
SELECT tag_pagetitle FROM WHERE tag = ‘name of tag’

Hi Christine from the Internet,
I was about to install tag warrior on my site but decided to upgrade WP to 2.3 first, thinking native tag support is probably a good thing. However, the tag cloud in 2.3 is not that robust and I’d love to have the functionality to display related tags as a tag cloud so that users can filter by selecting multiple tags. I think tag warrior has this? Do you have any plans to upgrade tag warrior to support 2.3, or maybe release a wordpress thing that would allow multi-tag filtering?
“…Each time I edit a post a blank(unnamed)tag is added that nonetheless contains a number in the “slug”- I am up to almost 2,000 altho I only have a hundred or so “named” tags. They are like Tribbles ;-)…”
Is this a Wordpress glitch? Is this a “Thing” glitch? Any suggestions for cleaning up all those blank tags?
Thanks for all of these. I wonder if there is a plugin that reproduces UTW’s AJAX-y list-of-already-existing-tags-below-th-editing-space functionality?
Dave.

I’m looking for a plug in (a code snip to c/p) that would do the following:
In a page take the pagetitle and list the last x posts tagged with that same word and a link to the /tag/… page.
Does anyone know if this exists or would that be something that could qualify as a future “Tag Thing”?
No it is not compatible with WP 2.5 Better not upgrade. I now am working with WP 2.6. WP had its own tagging system, but it is so poor compared to the UTW. WP should have hired Christine, she’s great.

Because older versions of wordpress have xmlrpc vulnerability issues. So it is advised to update to latest version. Or we need to delete the xmlrpc.php from the installation for security. If we do like this we cannot post from desktop clients.

Wordpress has its own import tool for UTW – in the admin, go to Manage > Import, and you will see the UTW import option. Cheers!

Yes Add tags as meta keywords function is very useful wordpress function. I recommend it.
Thursday 10 January, 2008 @ 12:30 am
Ok, im here. Where is the download link for UTW? The text on the previous page said , “for wordpress 2.3 plugins go here” but there is nothing here.

Thursday 10 January, 2008 @ 9:43 pm
Ken,
There are four links there, to my tagging plugins for WordPress 2.3..
(However, as the UTW page says (I’m guessing you came from there?), there isn’t UTW as such for WordPress 2.3)
Hope this helps you find what you were looking for!
