Ultimate Tag Warrior

This evening, I made a switch to a new plug-in to handle my Technorati Tags. Since the move to WordPress 2.0, I’d been having problems with my old tag manager, Bunny’s Technorati Tags and Ultimate Tag Warrior came highly recommended, so I decided to give it a try and see. Immediately I noticed that it was in a much bigger league and even though Bunny’s has just recently been fixed with 2.0, I made the call and switched.

So I’m liking this new plug-in and everything looks sunny and joyful, except for the fact that all my tags that were assigned in the past via Bunny’s are no longer around. That sincerely blows, but whatever. There’s a way to rescue them, but as of this moment a bit to A.D.D. to manage it slogging through help files and forums. When I do get it down, I’ll note how I did it here. For now, I just wanted to post something, just to see UTW in action. Sweet.

Update:

Now I am seriously impressed. Within ten minutes of posting this entry, the creator of UTW popped on by and clued me in on how to rescue all my old tags. That is way cool. Thank you Christine D. UTW is a great plug-in and it’s developer made my day!

    If you go to the Manage > Tags page, there’s a thinger there for importing tags from a custom field (which I’m pretty sure is where they’re stored with Bunny’s plugin). I think that it’s the ‘tags’ field, with a comma as a separator; but you can probably check this pretty easily by having a look at the custom fields of one of your previously tagged posts.

    I just switched to UTW as well under the same circumstances as you (upgrade to WP2). Unfortunately for me, I was just using Tag Cloud up until this so I have nothing in my database to import. That’s what I get for using an off-site solution though.

    I’m really happy with UTW so far though…very flashy and cool :)
