Wagtail Tag Manager

Wagtail Tag Manager is an admin interface for managing tag usage across your Wagtail site:

• View and manage all objects (Page, Image, Document, etc.) using a given tag
• Works across Pages, Documents, Images, and other tagged models that use django-taggit
• Add or remove tags from multiple object types
• Bulk merge and delete tags
• Add multiple pages to a given tag
• Edit tag names and slugs
• Compatible with custom tag models and page models

Supported versions

• Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13
• Django 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2
• Wagtail 5.2, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4

While these are the officially supported versions, wagtail-tagmanager may work on older versions of Python, Django, or Wagtail as it avoids reliance on newer features. Please note that issues on unsupported versions might not be prioritized.

Installation

1. Install via pip:

   pip install wagtail-tags
   

2. Add to your INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       "wagtail_tagmanager",
   ]

3. Configure your settings:

   1. Specify the model you use that inherits from TaggedItemBase. If you use tags for pages, you would have set this up already. More information here. You must define this setting to use this tag manager :

        WAGTAIL_TAGMANAGER_PAGE_TAG_MODEL = "yourapp.BlogPageTag"

   2. If you want to be able add pages to a specific tag in bulk, specify the page model you want to add tags to. If you want to add tags to all pages, set it to your first concrete model that inherits Page (if the model is abstract, this will not work). You must define this setting to add pages to a tag

      WAGTAIL_TAGMANAGER_BASE_PAGE_MODEL = "yourapp.BlogPage"

Usage

Once installed, go to the "Tags" section in the Wagtail admin.

There are four main views:

Tag Index View

• View all tags in the project and how many objects are tagged with each tag
• Add and Delete tags
• Merge multiple tags into one
• Click each tag to go to Tag Edit View

Tag Edit View

• Edit tag Name and Slug
• Button to view all objects tagged with that tag

Manage Tags View

• View and search all objects tagged with the selected tag
• Remove the tag from multiple objects
• Button to add pages to this tag (Note: This button only appears if WAGTAIL_TAGMANAGER_BASE_PAGE_MODEL is defined)

Add Pages to Tag View

• Add pages in bulk to the specified tag
• Search for a specific page by title

Known Issues

• The object count for each tag will count objects even if their model was deleted (since deleting a model does not delete it's corresponding ContentType). This can lead to incorrect object counts on the Tag Index Page. This model is defined in the ContentType model
