How to Display All Tags on Post Edit Page Instead of Frequently Used Tags

WordPress by default shows only 45 frequently used tags on post edit page in WordPress admin. In most of the cases it’s quite fine since most of the users do not have that many tags on their blog. But on a relatively large website, you may have hundreds of tags and you may require WordPress to show them all instead of just showing 45 frequently used tags. In this article we will see how we can force WordPress to show all post tags in place of more frequently used tags.

This is quite tricky since the number 45 is hard-coded in WordPress core files. Some solution suggests modifying core WordPress files but in that case, updating WordPress will flush out our customization each time and we will have to reapply the changes again.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the get_terms_args filter to modify the AJAX request to get the tag cloud and unset the number limit. Here is the function you can add in your functions.php file to remove number limit.

// display all tags on post edit instead of frequently used tags
function wcs_show_all_tags ( $args ) {
    if ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX && isset( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] === 'get-tagcloud' )
        unset( $args['number'] );
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'get_terms_args', 'wcs_show_all_tags' );

Use can modify above function based on your requirements for this specific project.

How to Change Default “Enter Title Here” Placeholder Text In Post Screen

By default WordPress displays “Enter title here” placeholder text in the post title field section on the post screen, where you create a new post. But in case of custom post type, while we register our custom post type, there is no parameter or option to change this default placeholder text to provide more personalized touch to our post type titles section. For example if you register a custom post type for books then wouldn’t’ it be nice to have “Enter book name” placeholder text instead of default “Enter title here“. So in this topic I will show you how you can replace default placeholder text with the text you want to use.

Fortunately WordPress provide an easy way to change title placeholder text. WordPress has a filter named enter_title_here which allows us to change “Enter title here” text in WordPress posts screen and custom post types’ screen. So following code snippet will change “Enter title here” placeholder text to “Enter book name” for Book post types. Just drop the following snippet to your current theme’s functions.php file.

// change "Enter title here" placeholder text
function wpcs_change_title_placeholder_text( $title ) {
    $screen = get_current_screen();
    if  ( 'book' == $screen->post_type ) {
        $title = 'Enter book name';
    }
    return $title;
}
add_filter( 'enter_title_here', 'wpcs_change_title_placeholder_text' );

That’s all!
