I’d love to hear some expert opinion on this too. I was considering using tags instead of categories, however I have read some posts suggesting that the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin will not be forward compatible with future versions of wordpress. Additionally, to navigate to specific tag pages (that have a union of tag 1 and tag 2) requires a url such as:
https://mydomain.com/index.php?tag=tag1+tag2
I don’t think this url would be particularly search engine friendly. So, these two factors (the lack of forward compatibility and the inability to navigate to seo url’s kind of scared me off using tags as a potential solution.
So I’m back to seeing what wordpress can do out of the box.
I’d love to find out how many categories I can create and fill with posts before wordpress will break or have its performance seriously impaired. I know some people will be saying to themselves something like why would anyone in their right mind want to have so many categories? But I do. I just do!
Anyone with this knowledge, please help. Would 1,000 categories break wordpress?
