When my pages load from a WP blog, the tags are all displayed below the articles. Why for may I ask? They are of no use to my reader as best I can tell, so what purpose do they serve?

Is there a plugin that will hide them? Please advise.

    Just remove it from the code. Every theme is going to be a little different in terms of the exact code to remove.

    Also, stop adding tags to your posts. That is another solution.

    Just delete the WP-Tag code in the page.php theme file If it's a Page. If it's a Post, delete the theWP-Tag code in the single.php theme file.

    The WP-Tag is showing up on your webpages because you chose that specific WP theme. A theme does whatever it's coded to do, nothing more, nothing less.

    Thanks guys. I get nervous in the code as I don't know PHP. But I shall give it a try. I didn't know this was gonna happen when I chose this theme. I was hoping for a plugin, but I will endeavour to attack the code as you indicate.

    @Mike, don't I need the tags to try ranking for said tags. That is what I always thought.

      First always copy/paste a copy of whatever theme template page you're editing, save the copy in Notepad on your PC desktop.

      Here's what I do while trying to figure out which exact part of code I need to add/remove/edit, I just add a long bit of text before & after the part of code I think needs edited, then Save & view the live webpage to see If my long bit of text shows up above & below the problem part of code on the live webpage, example source code...


      Code:
      some code here

777777777777777777777777777777

some code here that I think I need to edit/remove

8888888888888888888888

some more code down here
      Once I get the correct location of the source code & edit/remove whatever needs to be done I go back & remove my placeholder text numbers (ex: 777777 or 888888).

      I would suggest that you are used to seeing them on top, but the reality is, they actually start to function as they should if they are on the bottom of the text. "Hey that was a great article what else does this site have to offer and <tag> topic?"


      It just doesn't make sense to have "tag" links on the top of an article.

    I couldn't find the tags stuff in the editor. I am using a Weaver Extreme theme and I finally found it in the theme options. It was hard to find and I had to go through so many tabs and pages, but I finally found it under main options/page specifics. Now to try and find post specifics.

      you should be able to find:
      HTML Code:
      <span><?php the_tags(); ?></span>
      In the "content.php" file

      Or if you wanted to yank this without getting into templates try:

      PHP Code:
      add_action( 'init', 'warrior_forum_remove_tags' );
      function       warrior_forum_remove_tags() {
          global ;
           =       'post_tag'; 
          if(       taxonomy_exists(  ) )
              unset(  );
      }
