    I have searched but not been successful – perhaps this is not something that can be done…

    I am setting up a website for a photography club. When the members post their galleries, they can add tags to their post through a pulldown menu. I would like to allow the members to add tags on a separate page, but not while posting. Then the new tag shows up in the gallery posting page.

    Is this possible? I was not able to find a plugin or any instructions on how to add tags without going into the WP admin area.

    It’s definitely possible, but it’s rather involved if you are not a coder. I’m not aware of a plugin that will let you easily do this, but this does not mean there are none. Your search-fu is likely as good or better than mine 🙂

    The tag select dropdown could be conditionally displayed on the front end only to those logged in with appropriate role capability. When a selection is made, an Ajax request is sent to the server so the selection can be saved. The requesting script then gets a response indicating the save was successful. On success, it inserts the chosen tags into a HTML container intended for this purpose.
