Do you need to back up your post tags, migrate them to another site, or perform a bulk update in a spreadsheet? Post Tags Export\/Import<\/strong> is the perfect tool for the job.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin provides a simple interface under \"Tools\" in your WordPress admin area to handle two key tasks:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Export Posts to JSON:<\/strong> With a single click, you can download a clean JSON file containing the title<\/code>, slug<\/code>, and an array of tags<\/code> for every post on your site.<\/li>\n
  2. Import Tags from JSON:<\/strong> Upload a JSON file (in the same format as the one you exported) to bulk update tags. The plugin uses the post slug<\/code> to identify which post to update and replaces<\/strong> its existing tags with the ones from the file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    This is incredibly useful for:\n* Backing up and restoring tag structures.\n* Editing tags offline in bulk using a text editor or script.\n* Migrating tag information between staging and production environments.\n* Quickly applying a new set of tags to hundreds of posts.<\/p>\n\n

    The plugin is designed to be lightweight, secure, and easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n

    You can install the plugin in a few simple steps:<\/p>\n\n

    From your WordPress dashboard (easiest):<\/strong>\n1. Navigate to 'Plugins' > 'Add New'.\n2. Search for 'Post Tags Export\/Import'.\n3. Click 'Install Now' and then 'Activate'.<\/p>\n\n

    Manual Installation:<\/strong>\n1. Download the plugin zip file from the repository.\n2. Unzip the file to get the post-tags-export-import<\/code> directory.\n3. Upload the post-tags-export-import<\/code> directory to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory on your server.\n4. Go to the 'Plugins' page in your WordPress admin and click 'Activate' for the \"Post Tags Export\/Import\" plugin.<\/p>\n\n

    After Activation:<\/strong>\n1. Navigate to 'Tools' > 'Post Tags Export\/Import' to access the plugin's page.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Where do I find the settings page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    You can find the plugin's page in your WordPress admin dashboard under Tools -> Post Tags Export\/Import<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What is the format of the JSON file?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The JSON file is an array of objects. Each object represents a post and must contain a slug<\/code> (string) and tags<\/code> (array of strings). The title<\/code> is included for reference in the export but is not used during the import.<\/p>\n\n

    Example:\n [\n {\n \"title\": \"My First Blog Post\",\n \"slug\": \"my-first-blog-post\",\n \"tags\": [\"news\", \"updates\"]\n },\n {\n \"title\": \"A Guide to WordPress\",\n \"slug\": \"a-guide-to-wordpress\",\n \"tags\": [\"wordpress\", \"guide\", \"tutorial\"]\n }\n ]<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What happens if a slug in my import file doesn't exist on my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The plugin will simply skip that entry. The success message after the import will tell you how many posts were updated and how many were skipped.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does the import add to existing tags or replace them?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The import process replaces<\/strong> all existing tags on a post with the tags provided in the JSON file for that post's slug. If the \"tags\" array for a post is empty in the file, it will remove all tags from that post.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will this plugin work with Custom Post Types?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Currently, the plugin is designed to work only with the default 'post' post type.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
