Reviews
what people actually sayPages with Category and Tag is a well-regarded, lightweight plugin that reliably adds category and tag support to WordPress pages, though it shares taxonomies with posts rather than keeping them separate, which is a limitation for some use cases.

Common complaints
- −Tags and categories are shared between posts and pages rather than being separate taxonomies, making it impossible to show a tag cloud or archive for pages only
- −Does not add the category to the page permalink URL the way posts handle it
- −No option to filter or display pages that have no category assigned
