The ultimate auto-tagging plugin for WordPress.
Title to Terms Ultimate is for every WordPress admin that needs tags, categories and other taxonomies filled out automatically. For each post type in your WordPress installation, T2TU will allow you to assign a taxonomy to be automatically updated with keywords pulled from the title of the post.
Every time a post gets saved or updated, T2TU analyzes the title of the post for usable keywords. A list of user-configurable "Stop Words" is checked by the parser, so that words like "I" or "going" don't get made into ultimately useless tags.
T2TU can be configured to either add new tags to a post or append additional tags.
- Converts keywords in post titles to tags
- Includes user-editable list of words to be ignored
- Ignore list can be reset to default at any time
- Converts on save, not publish.
- Does not convert if there are already tags assigned.
- Download the plugin from the WordPress repository, here.
- Unzip and upload the file to your /wp-content/plugins directory.
- In the Dashboard, go to Plugins->All Plugins and activate.
- Configure T2TU from the Settings->Writing screen
- Title to Terms: ignored words ~ This is a list of Stop Words that will be ignored by the title parser. You can add new terms to and delete terms from this list. You can also set the list back to default values by simply deleting the entire list.
- Title to Terms: append tags ~ By default, T2TU leaves posts alone if they've already got terms in the chosen taxonomy. By checking this box, you can append terms to an existing list.
- Title to Terms: Taxonomies and Post Types ~ This is a matrix of post types and their associated terms. You can select one taxonomy from each post type to autofill.
The plugin is now being maintained on GitHub, so please do contribute all your questions, comments, suggestions, fixes and improvements with me here.
No. There is a user-configurable list of stop words, pre-populated with a host of common words, which can be used to fine-tune the resulting tags.
No. The plugin checks for the existence of tags, and if there are none, writes them based on the title.
Tags are added to the post when it is saved, whether as a draft, update or by publishing, but not when the post is autosaved.
Yes. Simply delete the current list of stop words, and Title to Tags will replace the list with its default stop words collection (stopwords.txt)
Maybe. It will not handle the process automatically, but if you open any untagged post and save it, Titles to Tags will work.
Autosaved drafts in WordPress get saved with the title of "Auto Draft". As such, we need to add those words to our stop list.

- 1.0 ~ Initial public release
- 1.1 ~ Corrected some meta data
- 1.2 ~ Name collision with another plugin, FeedWordPress, corrected
- 1.3 ~ Whoops! Didn't put the title in the meta data, how silly!
- 1.4 ~ SVN commit to include tag
- 2.0 ~ Revamped version based on experiments with these function in another plugin. ~ using WP-style function notes ~ designed to work with both WP and WPMU ~ lowerNoPunc function now removes posessive 's from words ~ addresses issue where tags are created even if they're not added to the post
- 2.1 ~ Two bug fixes: ~ Use of the deprecated number-based roles in the add_options_menu() call has been fixed. ~ Added isset() check to form submission check. Whoops! Error checking not turned on. ~ NOTE: I am aware of the issue with this plugin not working in 3.0 and the next release will correct this issue. This will probably make the plugin inoperable for <3.0. Please upgrade your system to continue using this plugin.
- 3.0 ~ Converted to WordPress 3.0-compatible code. Not sure how this will affect the 2.x users out there, but will make a branch in SVN just in case.
- 3.0.1 ~ Noticed some improvements to be made to the efficiency of the code. getStopWords is now the only function used to get the stop words anywhere they appear (formerly using get_option directly).
- 3.2 ~ Rearranging a lot of the code, user-defined stop words were being ignored.
- 3.3 ~ New version now on GitHub. ~ Version also checked to be compatible with WP 4.4
- 4.0 ~ Changed name to Titles to Terms Ultimate, reflecting newly updated code. ~ T2TU now allows one taxonomy per post type to be auto-populated by title-generated terms. ~ User-selectable taxonomy for each post type registered to WordPress, and each taxonomy registered to that post type.
- 4.1 ~ Refactoring code for efficiency and caching. Also: ~ Creating option to either maintain possessive apostrophes or not.
