About
Tag Groups allows you to organize your WordPress taxonomy terms and show them in clouds, tabs, accordions, tables, lists and much more.
Security History
What It Does
Tag Groups lets you bundle related taxonomy terms together and render them in formatted layouts such as clouds, tabs, accordions, lists, and tables. It works with built-in tags and categories as well as custom taxonomies, letting you control the order, grouping, and visual presentation of term archives and tag clouds site-wide. The plugin adds shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks so editors can place grouped term displays anywhere on a page or post.
Who It's For
This plugin fits content-heavy sites where visitors browse by topic, such as news portals, knowledge bases, recipe collections, and community magazines with hundreds of tags. It is also useful for online stores and learning platforms that need to surface related products or courses organized by topic clusters rather than flat lists. Site owners who already find the default tag cloud messy or hard to navigate will get the most out of its grouping and accordion layouts.
Who Should Skip It
Skip it if your site has only a handful of tags or categories, since native WordPress widgets will handle the job without the overhead. Anyone who simply needs to register custom taxonomies should use Custom Post Type UI instead, which is far more widely installed and tested.
The Bottom Line
Tag Groups earns a 77.17/100 quality score with excellent maintenance and outstanding user ratings, but its 3,000 active installs and single support thread limit how much confidence you can place in long-term community support. It is a solid, specialized tool for sites that genuinely need grouped, formatted tag displays, not a general-purpose taxonomy plugin. Try it on a staging site first if your tag counts are in the hundreds.
