Adding Tags list to the archive page

Off hand, I don’t have the code to grab the number of posts per tag, but I do have some code that will at least get you the list of tags on your archives page: https://webtide.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/display-tags-in-3-columns/

Great script, thanks for that MMURO!

$tags = get_tags();
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo $tag->count;
}

Michael, Thanks for the help, but your script only returns a list of numbers… no tag names. What I’m going for is the same style as a Monthly or Category archive would be:

Tag1 (2)
Tag2 (16)
Tag3 (1) etc.

Try something like this:

$tags = get_tags();
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo $tag->name.'('.$tag->count.')';
}

Thanks drmanry, you got me on the right track! I’ve tried to post the code I ended up using between backticks as suggested in the comments area but every time it turned into a jumbled mess… but you definitely got me there.

Figured it out… here ya go!

<ul>
<?php $tags = get_tags();
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo '<li><a href="https://www.yourwebsite.com/tag/'.$tag->slug.'" rel="tag">'.$tag->name.'</a></li>';
} ?>
 </ul>

Mmuro,

Thanks so much for this – I love how the 3-column looks on your sample page and am trying to implement it on a client’s wordpress site.

I’ve copied the code into the archives.php template, but it won’t create 3 columns…is there something else…?
