Hace poco nos preguntaron cómo mostrar un número limitado de etiquetas después de cada entrada en tu tema de WordPress. Normalmente, se utiliza la función the_tags() para enlazar las etiquetas a las que pertenece una entrada. Sin embargo, esa función no tiene un parámetro para limitar el número de etiquetas mostradas. Así que si tu entrada tiene 12 etiquetas, y tu tema solo tiene espacio para 5, entonces puede que no se vea muy bien en el diseño. Mucha gente simplemente limita el uso de etiquetas, o ni siquiera lo incluye en las plantillas. Pero en este artículo, te mostraremos cómo puedes limitar el número de etiquetas después de las entradas en tu tema de WordPress sin limitar el número de etiquetas que añades a cada entrada.
Editar: Al parecer, después de escribir este artículo, el más impresionante Otto (@otto42) respondió en mi cuenta de Google para hacerme saber que hay una forma más sencilla de lograr esto.
Primero tienes que abrir el archivo functions.php de tu tema y añadir esta función:
add_filter('term_links-post_tag','limit_to_five_tags');
function limit_to_five_tags($terms) {
return array_slice($terms,0,5,true);
}
Puedes cambiar el número 5 por el número máximo que quieras.
A continuación, abra su loop.php, single.php, index.php, o donde quieras añadir estas etiquetas de entrada (debe estar dentro de un bucle de entrada), a continuación, pegue el código siguiente:
<?php the_tags() ?>
Esto es definitivamente mucho más simple que lo que se me había ocurrido que voy a dejar en esta entrada para aquellos que les interesa.
Antiguo método complicado
Todo lo que necesitas hacer es pegar el siguiente código en el archivo de tu tema (dentro del bucle de entradas):
<?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
$count=0; $sep='';
if ($posttags) {
echo 'Tags: ';
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
$count++;
echo $sep . '<a href="'.get_tag_link($tag->term_id).'">'.$tag->name.'</a>';
$sep = ', ';
if( $count > 5 ) break; //change the number to adjust the count
}
}
?>
El código anterior mostrará 6 etiquetas en el tema. Si desea mostrar menos etiquetas o más etiquetas, simplemente ajuste la línea $count > 5 con el número que desee. Recuerde, aunque el número de conteo dice mayor que 5, vemos 6 etiquetas. Esto se debe a que el recuento comienza en 0. Así que si desea mostrar solo 4 etiquetas, entonces el número tendría que ser 3.
Si desea cambiar el separador, entonces usted necesita cambiar la línea 9. El código actual separa por comas. También puede personalizar el estilo mediante la adición de divs, elementos de lista, o cualquier otra cosa que te gusta.

This code snippet works great.
But I need one modification: I need to only show the first three tags that I enter for each blog post. It’s now showing three tags, which is a good step.
However, I specifically need the first three in the order I specify. This is because of the purpose my website serves and how research data is presented. For example:
Jennifer Weaver, Case #4455883, New Mexico
That’s how I’m entering tags: Name, case number, location — and then I have some additional tags. But I only want the first three to display in the entry meta.
Any suggestions how to do this? The code you shared chooses any order it wants. If my tags are entered like this — one, two, three, four, five — it chooses its own arrangement, such as:
five, four, one
Thanks for any help you can offer with this!!

Hello!
How can I do this “limit the usage of tags”. I want only 3 tags per post/product. And if I select a 4, the number is erased.
Thank you!
WPBeginner Support says
@Hector Thanks for the suggestion. We have published a new article on how to set maximum tags for WordPress posts. Please take a look, let us know if it helps.

Hi, how can i add if is statement to this function?
I want to show 5 tags on my main Blog Page(Static page with id=99),
and then show all tags in single-post page
Is it possible to combine this function, to work with post category?
Like Above, i want 5 categories and 5 tags on main page, and full list on single-post…
Sorry for my English ;/
WPBeginner Support says
For that you will have to edit your theme or child theme’s template file. For tags you can try this code:
<?php $posttags = get_the_tags(); $count=0; if ($posttags) { $output = ''; foreach($posttags as $tag) { $count++; $output .= $tag->name . ' '; if( $count >5 ) break; } } echo $output; ?>1-click Use in WordPress

Great info. I came to this site though google search looking for an answer to another problem I need the tag pages to display their tag names as a heading for their individual tag pages. Is there any theme that does this? I am currently using the Divi theme and that feature is not available.

What about duplicate content (after Panda update) using tags as same article will be on the post and tag pages.
Also, i read on wp forum regarding the negative impact of using excessive tags (more than 10 tags) for each post.
wpbeginner says
@ata People should not use Tags for SEO. Tags are built-in to WordPress to improve the usability of your site. You can have 500 tags for one post for all that matters. What is crucial is that you follow, noindex the tags pages. So search engines go to those pages and follow all the links, but don’t index those pages. That will solve the SEO problem. There are too many self-proclaimed SEO experts who don’t know what the heck they are doing. Putting generic statements like the ones you mentioned above are totally wrong as long as you follow what we are saying.
ata says
Actually tags does increase traffic for some sites. You can find proof on Google. Especially long tail keywords attached to a post.
Not sure how the search engine can find your tag links if it is set as ‘noindex’. Maybe the post url but not the tag links as it doesn’t make sense.
The ‘generic statement’ was not a statement.at all. If you read my comment, it is more of a query/question so there is no need to bite my head off.
wpbeginner says
@ata First of all let me be clear. I am not biting your head off. The frustration was expressed toward those experts that go along making generic claims like that. WordPress allows for many ways of indexation. Most folks use category as their primary method of archives. In order to prevent duplicate content, you can only use ONE primary method of archive that is indexable. All secondary methods need to be no-index in order to prevent duplicate content.
We use Categories as our main method of archiving. If you want you can use tags as a primary source of archiving. We find that categories tend to perform better for our blogs. If you want to use tags as a primary source of archiving, then no-index categories, and date based archives. If you are the only author on the site, then you might as well no-index author archives because that will just produce duplicate content as well.Will not argue SEO theories any further in this article because this is a tutorial for design not SEO.

I was looking for this. Thanks for sharing. I agree with @mrahmadawais the first method works just fine and it is simple too.

the first method is just great
