A lightweight WordPress plugin for auditing and managing tag structures across your site.

Tag Admin Console Lite helps you review how tags are used across your site, detect duplicates, find unused tags, and copy tag lists directly from the WordPress admin interface.

It adds practical auditing tools and interface improvements without introducing custom tables or heavy processing.

Built for WordPress administrators who want clear visibility into their tag structure.

The Problem

Over time, WordPress sites accumulate messy tag structures.

Common issues include:

• duplicate tags with the same name
• broken encoding from imports or migrations
• unused tags that remain in the database
• inconsistent slug structures
• tags spread across different post types

WordPress itself provides only limited tools for auditing tags.

Tag Admin Console Lite adds the missing inspection tools directly inside the admin interface.

What the Plugin Helps You Do

Review the Entire Tag Structure

See all tags in one place and quickly copy them when working with SEO tools, content audits, or taxonomy planning.

Detect Duplicate Tags

Tags with identical names but different IDs are automatically highlighted.

This makes it easy to spot mistakes created during imports or manual editing.

Identify Unused Tags

Unused tags that are not attached to published content are listed separately so they can be reviewed or removed.

Find Slug Conflicts

The plugin detects situations where tags may have conflicting slugs that could affect URL structure.

Detect Encoding Problems

If tags were imported with broken encoding (for example after migrations or CSV imports), the plugin highlights suspicious patterns so they can be fixed.

Review Tag Usage by Category or Taxonomy

You can filter tags by:

• category
• custom taxonomy
• a specific term

This helps understand how tags are actually used in different parts of the site.

Admin Interface Improvements

Tag Admin Console Lite also enhances the default Posts → Tags screen.

It adds:

• Tag ID column
• search by tag slug
• duplicate highlighting
• encoding issue highlighting
• tag filtering by category
• compact tag copier
• per-page selector

These small improvements significantly simplify tag management for large sites.

Built for Practical Use

The plugin is designed as a lightweight administrative tool.

It works entirely with the existing WordPress taxonomy system.

There are:

• no custom tables
• no background indexing
• no external services

This keeps the plugin simple, predictable, and safe to use on production sites.
