The ultimate auto-tagging plugin for WordPress.
NOTE: The plugin is now being maintained on GitHub, so please do contribute all your questions, comments, suggestions, fixes and improvements with me <a href="https://github.com/holisticnetworking/title-to-terms" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
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.
<ul>
<li>Converts keywords in post titles to terms in any taxonomy</li>
<li>Includes user-editable list of words to be ignored.</li>
<li>Ignore list can be reset to default at any time.</li>
<li>Converts on save, not publish.</li>
<li>Configurable to either add new terms or append the list of terms.</li>
</ul>
Multisite admins take note: this plugin is especially helpful if you’re building a community-based site where tagging is important and your bloggers are not always diligent about tagging.

Multi-Column Taxonomy List is a plugin that allows you to list your categories, tags, or custom taxonomies into multiple columns.
This plugin is great to use on custom archives index pages to display all categories, tags, and custom taxonomies on a single page. You can also turn the list into links to the RSS feeds for your taxonomies.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<h4>Shortcode attributes</h4>
You can implement a new list by adding the shortcode <code>[mctl]</code> to the content of a page. By default, it will output the categories into three columns with a heading of Categories. You can customize the output using attributes in the following format: <code>[mctl taxonomy='post_tag' title='Tags']</code>

<h4>Template tag</h4>
Alternatively, you can implement a new list by adding the the template tag <code><?php multi_column_tax_list(); ?></code> anywhere in the code of your theme. Just like the shortcode, by default it will output the categories into three columns with a heading of Categories. You can customize the output using a string of parameters in the following format: <code><?php multi_column_tax_list( 'taxonomy=post_tag&title=Tags' ); ?></code>
Refer to the above attributes for customizations.
