About Auto Tag Generator
From the official readme · v1.0Description
This plugin automatically converts keywords in a post title to tags upon saving. It includes a user-editable list of words you want the plugin to ignore, which by default includes the more obviously-useless words like “I” or “wasn’t.” You can also reset the list back to defaults by deleting/empty the current list.
- Converts keywords in post titles to tags
- Includes user-editable list of words to be ignored
- Ignore list can be reset to default at any time
- Converts on save, not publish.
