Can someone tell me how/why to use “Place Tags?” I am accustomed to using meta keywords and meta descriptions.

Tags are taxonomy elements used as short keywords.

They are one of the elements searched by the search form along with title, categories and content.

They allow to browse all listings by a specific tag (just like categories).

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks

When using search, the tags replaced the category name (circled in screenshot), so I removed all my tags. This is obviously not the best option for SEO and search purposes.

Instead, can I remove all tags from view?

that really depends on the theme, but with css anything can be hidden. Please provide a link where you see the tags that you want to hide and we will provide the css.

Thanks

What you see circled is the name of the category (rather than the tags) when you do a general site search. That’s the only place I saw the tags, but to be honest, I didn’t look very hard. When I asked my programmers how to resolve this, they suggested that I remove the tags. So I did.

After reading your post, however, I realized how beneficial tags are for searching, so I want to add them back in.

In all reality, I think I’d like to hide tags everywhere throughout the site, even client listing pages (and in dashboard) so I can control them.

Does that make sense? And is this possible?

I’m sorry to repeat myself:

Hi,

We need to see the page where the element is in order to provide the code to hide it…

Thanks

As you can see in the screenshot, the tags show on the search screen (in the same location I mentioned above). So, this would be the first place I need to hide Paolo.

Would this do the trick?

that will help you hide the tags field from the add listing form, in that case you stop using tags.
However that search results page doesn’t look like a GD page, that why I’m asking for a link.

Thanks

You are correct Paolo. I will ask on the other theme support forum to see if they have a solution.

Again, thanks.
