This does exactly what you asked for. Just copy the code into a new file and save it as “t-tags.php” in your current themes directory. You will then need to log into WordPress, create a new page and apply the “Tags” Template to it. You may also need to change the html under “OUTPUT” to match your theme. Please don’t change anything under “Process” unless it makes sense to you 🙂

<?php
/*
Template Name: Tags
*/

	/* Process
	================================================= */
	$list = '';
	$tags = get_terms( 'post_tag' );
	$groups = array();
	if( $tags && is_array( $tags ) ) {
		foreach( $tags as $tag ) {
			$first_letter = strtoupper( $tag->name[0] );
			$groups[ $first_letter ][] = $tag;
		}
		if( !empty( $groups ) ) {
			foreach( $groups as $letter => $tags ) {
				$list .= "\n\t" . '<h2>' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $letter ) . '</h2>';
				$list .= "\n\t" . '<ul>';
				foreach( $tags as $tag ) {
					$url = attribute_escape( get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ) );
					$count = intval( $tag->count );
					$name = apply_filters( 'the_title', $tag->name );
					$list .= "\n\t\t" . '<li><a href="' . $url . '">' . $name . '</a> (' . $count . ')</li>';
					}
				$list .= "\n\t" . '</li>';
			}
		}
	}else $list .= "\n\t" . '<p>Sorry, but no tags were found</p>';

	/* OUTPUT
	============================= */
	get_header();
	?>
	<div id="container">
	<div id="main">
	<?php print $list; ?>
	</div>
	</div><!-- end main -->
	<?php
	get_sidebar();
	get_footer();
	?>

Thank you so much…

You’re welcome 🙂

Just in case someone needs to know it: the problem happened without lightbox, too

This is due to the fact that the plugin overwrites the code that creates the “gallery shortcode” – As long as you have the plugin installed, you will have to add this attribute to your shortcodes.

One solution would be to hack the plugin. On line 322 of the current version, change this:

'lightboxsize' => 'medium',

to this:

'lightboxsize' => 'fullsize',

That should fix it globally.

Actually, It’s Lightbox Gallery – a plugin that overrides the default WordPress gallery Shortcode. I peeked at the source and it looks like you can change the behavior by adding the following attribute to your gallery shortcode:

[gallery lightboxsize="fullsize"]

Hope this helps,

This sounds awesome!!! Thanks for posting your fix… I’m totally gonna check this out soon as I need to completely need to rework my portfolio.

No problem… I really wish something like this was built into WordPress, but I wish there were a lot of things built into WordPress…. Any way, let me know if you have any problems with this…

No, There’s no need to insert the image into the post at all, The script will get the first image that was uploaded as an attachment to the given post.

I use this code inside the loop:

I’ve only ever done this once successfully – via .csv – Here is a link to a script that I used: http://mfields.org/_plugins/mf-csv-import.zip

I saved the file to the directory where WordPress is installed and ran it through the browser. This script is VERY resource intensive and I was only able to import about 30 records at a time.

Please note that I’m am only posting this as a reference, the file may or may not work for you, but I hope that it does 🙂
