This plugin allows the user to display Technorati tags instead of the native tags in WordPress 2.3. It uses WordPress 2.3’s native tagging/taxonomy system. The formatting of the output is the same as of the native tags system: the_techtags('before','separator','after');. This plugin was written to mimic Ultimate Tag Warrior’s ability to display Technorati tags.

Installation:
Download the plugin here.
Unzip or extract the file wp23techtags.php.
Upload the file to your plugins folder (wp-content/plugins/)
Activate the plugin.

Usage:
Simply paste <?php the_techtags(); ?> to within The Loop to display the Technorati tags.

Usage (in Detail):
To display Technorati Tags just below your posts in the front page, go to your Admin area.
Go to Presentation and then click on Theme Editor.
Click on Main Index Template at the right. You should be able to see the code to your theme’s index.php.
Look for the line that says <?php the_content(); ?> or something like it and then immediately below it, you can add the code <?php the_techtags(); ?>.
You can also add line breaks (<br />) before and after to add space between the post and the tags.
Click on Update to save the changes.

To display Technorati Tags in single posts, go to your Admin area.
Go to Presentation and then click on Theme Editor.
Click on Single Post at the right. You should be able to see the code to your theme’s single.php.
Look for the line that says <?php the_content(); ?> or something like it and then immediately below it, you can add the code <?php the_techtags(); ?>.
You can also add line breaks (<br />) before and after to add space between the post and the tags.
Click on Update to save the changes.

UPDATE: 10/03/2007

This plugin has been updated to support blogs that don’t use the “Date and Name Based” Permalink structure. A little oversight on my end that went unnoticed until Ian of Sox & Dawgs pointed it out. Thanks, Ian.

The download link has been updated. If you are using a “Date and Name Based” permalink structure, you don’t have to re-download this plugin.

UPDATE: 10/08/2007
Technorati Tags for WordPress 2.3 has been updated. This release removes the excess trailing slash and uses a plus (+) sign in place of the hyphen (-) used in separating slugs of the multiple word tags. The download link has been updated and everyone is advised to download the latest version to produce a more accurate Technorati tag search result. Thanks to Jake for pointing this out.

Current Version: 1.2
