Overview of Tags
Tags are a powerful way to categorize and organize your content across different types, such as recipes, meal plans, and blog posts. For example, you can use tags like "Gluten Free" or "Vegan" to help members filter content based on dietary preferences.
Tag Types
Tags can be categorized into several types, allowing for more specific filtering:
Dietary: For dietary restrictions/preferences (e.g., "Gluten Free", "Vegan").
Cuisine: For culinary traditions (e.g., "Italian", "Thai").
Meal Type: For meal categorization (e.g., "Breakfast", "Dinner").
Cooking Method: For cooking techniques (e.g., "Slow Cooker", "Grilled").
Difficulty: For skill levels (e.g., "Easy", "Advanced").
Topic: For subjects in blog posts and resources (e.g., "Nutrition", "Meal Prep").
Category: For content categories (e.g., "How-To", "Guide").
Managing Tags

Name: The full name of the tag (e.g., "Gluten Free").
Short Name: An optional short display name (e.g., "GF").

Click Save to create the tag.
You can also edit existing tags by selecting them from the list and updating their details.
Reordering Tags
You can control the display order of your tags using two methods:
Drag-and-Drop: Click and hold the handle on the left side of the tag row, then drag it to your desired position.
Up/Down Arrow Buttons: Use the up and down arrows to move a tag one step up or down in the list.
Both methods will immediately save your changes.
Tag Visibility and Filtering
Tags help your members filter and search for content effectively. When you apply tags to your recipes or meal plans, members can easily find content that matches their interests. For example, if a member searches for "Vegan," they will see all tagged recipes and meal plans that meet that criteria.
Best Practices for Using Tags
Be Consistent: Use consistent naming conventions for tags to avoid confusion.
Limit Tag Types: Only use the necessary tag types to keep your content organized and easy to navigate.
Regularly Review Tags: Periodically check your tags to ensure they are still relevant and useful for your members.
