Default Post Tags

Description

This plugin allows you to set default tags for your new blog posts. It only works on new posts, and it only works for the default blog post type (post).

New default tags are added in a comma separated list on the tag edit screen, usually located under Posts > Tags.

If you like this plugin, you should buy me a beer and leave a comment on the official WordPress plugin page.

I really liked the plugin it was i think built for my website…. initially when i tried the plugin did not work on posts from front end… but thanks to the author… provided a great support in no time… and resolved the front end posts tags issue… Now its working for all posts both front and backend. In my opinion, the plugin is very useful for admins to control and filter posts by tags… for multi author blogs… its a miracle.

Wasn’t sure what to think since there are no other reviews. But this is nice. Does exactly what it says it does. Which is nice to have default tags since RRWrites.com is a collaborative effort and I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve had to go through and fix people’s tags. Now I know the ones I want are already there on their posts.
