How do I delete a post tag in WordPress

To delete a post tag in WordPress, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to the WordPress Admin Dashboard Open your web browser and enter the URL of your WordPress website followed by "/wp-admin" (e.g., "www.example.com/wp-admin"). Enter your administrator username and password to log in. After successful login, you will be redirected to the WordPress admin dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to the Tags Section In the admin dashboard, locate the sidebar menu on the left-hand side. Find and hover over the "Posts" option. This will expand a submenu with options like "All Posts," "Add New," "Categories," and more. Click on "Tags" to access the tags section.

Step 3: Locate the Tag to Delete On the "Tags" page, you will see a list of existing tags. Locate the tag you want to delete and hover over its name. Several options will appear below the tag name.

Step 4: Click on "Delete" From the options that appear below the tag name, click on "Delete." A confirmation message will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the tag.

Step 5: Confirm Deletion Read the confirmation message carefully, as deleting a tag will also remove the tag from all posts where it is assigned. If you are certain you want to proceed with the deletion, click on the "OK" or "Delete" button.

Congratulations! You have successfully deleted a post tag in WordPress. The tag will no longer be available in your website's tags list, and it will be removed from any posts where it was assigned. Please note that deleting a tag does not delete the posts associated with it, only the tag itself.
