XenCustomize Enhanced Tagging for XenForo 2
Turn XenForo’s basic tag system into a richer, more visual, more SEO-friendly tag experience.Enhanced Tagging upgrades both the Admin CP management side and the public tag-view experience of XenForo tags. It helps you organize tags better, present them more attractively, improve their search/social metadata, and turn ordinary tag pages into polished destination pages.
Whether you run a support forum, product community, gaming site, creator community, fan site, or content-heavy board, this addon helps your tags feel purposeful, branded, and useful instead of looking like a plain built-in archive.
Why Enhanced Tagging stands out
Core highlights
Tag pages are no longer just a plain list of tagged content. Enhanced Tagging adds a richer hero-style header with image support, summary content, stats, share actions, watch controls, contributor summaries, and content-type filtering tabs.
Create and manage tag groups in the Admin CP so your tags can be categorized, filtered, and presented with better structure.
Enhanced Tagging goes beyond simple title casing by preserving CamelCase, ALL-CAPS acronyms, and configurable stop words for cleaner tag titles.
Give each tag its own meta title, meta description, and image so tag pages look better in search results and when shared across social platforms.
Members can watch tags directly from the tag page and receive alerts or email notifications when new visible content is added to those tags.
Show tags with images, counts, grouping, and multiple display styles on tag search pages and widgets to give your site a much more modern feel.
