Bulk-tag your posts by matching keywords against content. Simple, fast, and free.

== Description ==

TagGator lets you build a keyword list and apply matching tags to all your posts in one click.

**How it works:**

1. Enter your tag words in the Tag List — one per line, or comma-separated. Each word is both the tag name *and* the keyword searched for.
2. Configure matching options (case-sensitive, whole words, minimum occurrences).
3. Click **Preview** to see what would be tagged, or **Bulk Tag All Posts** to apply tags immediately.
4. Use **Remove Unmatched Tags** to clean up stale tags if you update your list.

**Example tag list:**

`JavaScript, PHP, Python`
`WordPress, Gutenberg`
`Node.js, React, Vue`

A post containing "JavaScript" receives the "JavaScript" tag. Tags are only applied when the minimum match count is met, so you stay in control.

**Features:**

* Flat tag list — every word is both tag and keyword, no complex syntax
* Case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching
* Whole-word or substring matching
* Minimum match count in body and/or title
* Enable/disable tagging per post type
* Choose which taxonomy to tag with per post type
* Preview before committing — no surprises
* Remove Unmatched Tags cleans up only plugin-applied tags, never manually added ones
* Tagging history in the post editor sidebar
* No external dependencies, no tracking, no telemetry

3. Go to **Settings → TagGator** to configure your tag list and matching options.
4. Click **Bulk Tag All Posts** to apply tags to your existing content.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is the tag list format? =

Each word or phrase in the list is both the tag name and the keyword searched for in post content. Separate entries with commas or newlines — both work.

Example: `JavaScript, PHP\nPython` creates three tags and searches for each of them by name.

= Does TagGator apply tags automatically when I publish a post? =

No. TagGator (free) applies tags only via the **Bulk Tag All Posts** button. For automatic tagging on save, upgrade to <a href= "http://codecanyon.net/item/taggator-pro-wordpress-auto-tagging-plugin/1725033?ref=AngryByte">TagGator Pro</a>.

= Will Remove Unmatched Tags delete my manually added tags? =

No. TagGator tracks which tags it applies internally. The cleanup operation only removes tags that TagGator itself previously applied and that no longer match your current list.

= Can I tag custom post types? =

Yes. In the Post Type Settings section you can enable tagging for any public post type and choose which taxonomy to use.
