Rich Text Tags

A TinyMCE Editor for Tags, Categories, and Taxonomies

The Rich Text Tags Plugin allows you to edit tag descriptions, category descriptions, and taxonomy descriptions using WordPress’ built in rich-text editor. Switch between WYSIWYG and HTML editing modes with the click of a link. Use the WordPress uploader to insert images from your computer or site’s Media Library.

Use the WordPress functions tag_description() and category_description() in your theme to show the descriptions. To learn how to show taxonomy descriptions, read more on the plugin page.
