Autosave Post Title As Tags WordPress Plugin


This plugin was created in response to the support thread created at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/338629)

It takes your post title and use the words available there to create tags.

It is best used with titles that have little number of words.

The Future?

Though it is a one-off plugin, I may consider adding extra features if I have time.
One thought I have now is to include options of blacklisting certain words from becoming tags.

    I’ve tested this quite extensively locally and it works well. One extra feature that would help filter titles to tags is to say “if titles use commas use the string between the start of the title untill the comma as a tag. If another commas is used after the first, make string between commas a tag. If no commas used, split words as single tags”.

    Yes, stop words to exclude also a good oiption!

    examples of titles with commas

    if title contains no commas
    eg;
    Title: This is my title
    Tags: this, is, my, title
    AS we have now, and it works!

    However, If title contains commas

    eg;
    Title: This is, my title
    Tags: this is, my, title

    eg 2
    Title: This is, my new, title
    Tags: this is, my new, title

    Hope that makes sense. Thank-you!

    • Hi Richard,

      Great to hear from you again.

      Your feedback is noted, and I will take that into consideration, and think of a possible solution for it.

      I am currently busy at work, but I’ll email you once I find a workable solution and update it, probably this weekend…

    Hi Gerald, thank-you for your reply and offer to look for a solution to this. I think this kind of auto tagging provides good connectivity between title, content and keywords and this helps greatly with SEO.
    Have a good week-end …

    Again thanks for the new version update. Tags are now created from comma separated clauses in titles. A little fix required for the last clause as it is not processed as a sub-string unless ending in a comma.

    Many thanks for your contribution to wordpress.
