   Hello Micheal –

   This plugin looked like it was exactly what I am looking for – except when I installed it the following messages showed up at the top of my blog:

   Warning: Missing argument 2 for hidden_tags_get_object_terms() in /home/kiwicham/public_html/wp-content/plugins/hidden-tags/hidden-tags.php on line 54

   Warning: Missing argument 3 for hidden_tags_get_object_terms() in /home/kiwicham/public_html/wp-content/plugins/hidden-tags/hidden-tags.php on line 54

   Thanks so much

     Hello – if you would test out this version and let me know if it fixes your problem, I’ll include the fix in the next release: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/hidden-tags.zip

   Is this any different from “private tags” plugin? I am looking for something that will hide the TAG, not the post. For example, I am creating a photo gallery for a carpenter. He wants to tag photos such as: basement, interior, renovation, home-theater, contemporary, oak. However, he’d ALSO like to be able to tag a photo with “Jones” because that is the client’s name – where the photo was taken. He doesn’t want “Jones” to show in the tag cloud or on the photo page, BUT he’d like to SEARCH for “jones” because his new client wants him to build something similar to what he remembers building for the Joneses. Make sense?

   I tried installing private-tags plugin, and it completely hid the post when I said to exclude “Jones.” I don’t want to hide the POST, I simply want to hide the visible TAG. But I still want to find that photo if I SEARCH on “jones.”

   Is this possible? THANKS in advance!!

     Hi, Greg. The ‘Hidden Tags’ plugin will do what you want. The ‘Private Tags’ plugin hides any posts tagged with the configured tags from the public.

   Hi Michael. Tried installing twice, and this plugin does not work for me. It hides nothing. Thank you.

   Seems that tags with spaces in them should be declared-with-a-dash-instead. Took me a few minutes to figure this out. Might want to add that to the config page and/or the documentation. Using WP 3.0.1, which I notice isn’t officially listed as supported yet.

   Hi Michael. This plugin is exactly what I need, but… it does not hide any tags for me (using WP 3.0 with the standard Twentyten theme). Are you working on a new release of the plugin?

     Hi Martin,

     Could you link me to your blog and let me know which tags you’re trying to hide? It works perfectly on my WP 3 blog, so there may be something at your end.

   hello micheal, i was looking for the plugin that hides all tags not spacifically tags from post, if you put an option where we can define to hide all tags without defining it spacific tag .

   I might need this in one of my project. Will this be compatible with the up-coming WordPress 3.1 release?

     Hello – I’m not 100% certain, but I’d be surprised if it didn’t work!

    Thank you so much, Now I can really optimize my off page optimization using it and I don’t want other competitors to look on it. This is really awesome!

    This plugin looks like it is exactly what I am looking for, however I seem to be having the same problem as Fred above. I’ve tried listing the tags I want to hide by listing the tags and by listing the tag IDs but the tags still appear on posts. Also, is there a way to select all tags, or list the tags you would like to display instead of those you’d like to hide?

    Thanks,

    Jay

    I tried it on my wife’s site. 40 tag phrases. It did not work (WP3.2.1) so I did what Eric Moe did (hyphens). Used Excel to paste ALL of them into one excel line at once, then used “edit/replace all” to insert the hyphens into the spaces and then to reinsert the comma between the phrases. Easy. All tags are now disappeared. But I sure hope the Google will continue to index them. It will, right? S0meone say “yes!”
