Half Baked Tag Colour Manager lets you set tag colours at multiple levels:

  • Per-tag colour (set on the Tags screen)
  • Per-post/page colour (set on the editor screen or Quick Edit)
  • Default tag colour (set in Settings Half Baked Tag Colour Manager)
  • Theme default colour

Per-tag colours override the post/page colour, which overrides the plugin default.

If you want a consistent “tag pill” look across themes, you can optionally enable pill styling and fine-tune spacing, tint, underline, border thickness, and pill shape.

You can also manage tag case:
* Choose a Storage case (database normalization)
* Optionally auto-apply Storage case when tags are created or edited
* Optionally force a Display case sitewide on the front end
* Bulk-normalize selected tags from the Tags screen, plus a “Normalize all” option

How it works

  1. Set colours on Posts Tags for tags that should always have a specific look.
  2. Optionally set a per-post tag colour in the editor sidebar to apply one colour to all tags on that post.
  3. Optionally set a Default tag colour to cover anything left unset.
  4. Leave styling off if your theme already handles tags the way you like, or enable pill styling for consistency.

Colour resolution order

When a tag is displayed, the plugin resolves the colour in this order:
1. Per-tag colour
2. Per-post or per-page colour
3. Plugin default tag colour
4. Theme default
