How to Create and Manage Labels in Clariti

Create color-coded labels in Settings, add them to posts one at a time or in bulk, and use them to filter Explore.

Written by Jen Lowery

Labels are your own color-coded tags for posts, and they live only in Clariti. Use them to track things WordPress categories do not cover, then filter Explore by them whenever you need that group again.

A few ways bloggers use them:

  • Refresh tracking, like UPDATED 2026 or NEEDS NEW PHOTOS

  • Seasonal groups, like EASTER, GAME DAY, or SUMMER SALADS

  • Strategy, like PINTEREST PUSH, NEEDS SEO, or AFFILIATE

Create a Label

1. Click Settings in the top navigation.

2. In the Content Labels card, click the + button (Add Label).

3. Type the label text in the LABEL TEXT box. Labels can be up to 24 characters and always appear in capital letters.

4. Pick a color from the dropdown next to it.

5. Click the checkmark or press Enter to save. Press Esc to cancel.

For colors, you can choose one of five special gradients (AURORA, BERRY, OCEAN, SPACE, and SUNSET) or a full range of colors in Solid, Light, and Outline styles. Giving each kind of label its own color family, like blues for seasons and oranges for to-dos, makes the list easy to scan.

Edit or Delete a Label

Click the ... menu next to a label in the Content Labels card. Choose Edit to change its text or color, then click the checkmark. The change shows everywhere the label is used.

Choose Delete, then Delete Label to confirm. The label is removed from Settings and from every post that had it.

Add a Label to One Post

1. Open the post by clicking its title in Explore.

2. In the info panel on the left, click the Add a Label box.

3. Choose a label from the list. To make a new one on the spot, type at least 3 characters, pick a color, and click the checkmark.

To take a label off the post, click the × on the label.

Add or Remove Labels on Many Posts at Once

1. In Explore, check the posts you want, or use filters or Super Search to narrow the list.

2. Click the ... button at the top right of the list and choose Manage Labels.

3. In the Manage Item Labels window, set Action to Assign or Remove.

4. Set Group to Selected Items, Filtered Items, or All Items. Each option shows how many posts it covers. Clariti picks Selected Items if you checked any rows, Filtered Items if filters are on, and All Items otherwise.

5. Under Labels, pick one or more labels. When assigning, you can also type a new label name to create it here.

6. Click Assign Labels or Remove Labels. A message confirms how many posts were updated, like Labels assigned to 42 items.

Filter Explore by Label

1. In Explore, click Add Filter and choose Labels under Clariti.

2. Choose Include or Exclude.

3. Pick one or more labels.

Include keeps posts that have any of the chosen labels. Exclude hides posts that have any of them. Pair Exclude UPDATED 2026 with a Month Published filter for November to December, and you have every holiday post you have not refreshed yet this year.

There is a shortcut, too. Click a label on any row in the Explore list and Clariti adds it to your Labels filter, creating the filter if you do not have one yet. Click another label to add that one as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my teammates see and use my labels?

Yes. Labels belong to the site, so everyone with access to it sees the same labels and can add them to posts.

Why is my label in capital letters?

Clariti always shows labels in capital letters, so they read clearly as small tags on busy lists.

Why can't I create a label from a post?

New labels created from a post or the Manage Item Labels window need at least 3 characters. You can create shorter labels in Settings.

Do labels change anything in WordPress?

No. Labels live in Clariti only and do not touch your WordPress categories, tags, or posts.

Can I filter by more than one label at a time?

Yes. Add several labels to one Labels filter to match any of them, or add two Labels filters to require both.
