About this plugin
Half Baked Tag Colour Manager lets you set tag colours at multiple levels:
- Per-tag colour (set on the Tags screen)
- Per-post/page colour (set on the editor screen or Quick Edit)
- Default tag colour (set in Settings → Half Baked Tag Colour Manager)
- Theme default colour
Per-tag colours override the post/page colour, which overrides the plugin default.
If you want a consistent “tag pill” look across themes, you can optionally enable pill styling and fine-tune spacing, tint, underline, border thickness, and pill shape.
You can also manage tag case:
* Choose a Storage case (database normalization)
* Optionally auto-apply Storage case when tags are created or edited
* Optionally force a Display case sitewide on the front end
* Bulk-normalize selected tags from the Tags screen, plus a “Normalize all” option
How it works
- Set colours on Posts → Tags for tags that should always have a specific look.
- Optionally set a per-post tag colour in the editor sidebar to apply one colour to all tags on that post.
- Optionally set a Default tag colour to cover anything left unset.
- Leave styling off if your theme already handles tags the way you like, or enable pill styling for consistency.
Colour resolution order
When a tag is displayed, the plugin resolves the colour in this order:
1. Per-tag colour
2. Per-post or per-page colour
3. Plugin default tag colour
4. Theme default
