How to disable post tag in WordPress

You can easily disable post tags in WordPress by adding the code below into your functions.php:

add_action('init', function(){
    register_taxonomy('post_tag', []);
});

From now on, you will no longer see the Tags submenu inside the Posts menu on the left sidebar. You will also see the Tags field when adding a new or editing an existing post.
