The template in this tutorial enables you to display all tag archives on 1 page like you see in the below screenshot.
The template displays the tag archive heading, description and lists tagged posts under each tag name like this :
Each entry will display exactly the same height & width regardless of how much content is shown and regardless of the difference in length of entry title.

Hi Brad,
This is fantastic. Thanks! I have quick question that would help me to augment this all over the site. Is there a way to control the order of the outer taxonomy loop? I’ve organized our products (which are in a CPT) with a ‘Service Line’ custom taxonomy. However, what I need to try and do is organize the taxonomy ‘chunks’ (the headline, description and grid for that tax) in a custom way. I’m not sure of the default order of the taxonomy, but assume it is currently by ID. Often I would brute force this by just changing the publish date and order by date. But taxonomies don’t have this. I was curious how you may approach this (not necessarily via tutorial, but just ideas).
It seems like this must be somewhat common – I just haven’t gotten as deep in type of logical structuring, organization and display until this point.
Thanks,
Isaac
Hey again,
Nevermind that question. I found the NSP Code “Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order” which does the trick globally!
Thanks,
Isaac
