Though for a while, you cannot have the Indian Rupee symbol on your keyboards but still you can type it. Yes! To satisfy your curiosity, you can now do it using the Indian Rupee font. One of the Mangalore-based Foradian Technologies Pvt Ltd has newly created a font called “Rupee Foradian” which allows you to type the Indian Rupee symbol on the computer.

To get started using the Indian Rupee Symbol on your computer, you first need to download the Indian Rupee font from here. To install the font, go to the control panel and paste the downloaded font in the Fonts item of control panel. Once the font has been installed, you can press the “ ` ” key, the key located above TAB to insert the Indian Rupee Symbol right in to your document files.

Nevertheless, this Indian Rupee font has given us a way to quick start using our New Rupee Symbol on the computer. However, to use the symbol universally we have to wait till it’s incorporated in the “Unicode Standard”.

To guide you on how to type Indian Rupee symbol on your computer, I have embedded some tutorials that will help you in installing the font and then guiding you how to type it on your computer after the installation. The Linux and Mac users can check this link for a detailed tutorial.

After upgrading my WordPress to WordPress 2.5 I got error for my Tag Archive page i.e. for any Tag it was showing ‘Page not found’ or some PHP error for UTM plugin function, the clarification – UTM doesn’t work in WordPress 2.5 as the latest version of WordPress has Tag functionality built in itself, the soultion for all this lies in WordPress itself.

To make Tag Archive page go for following steps, whether you were using UTM plugin or not and without any extra plugin;

1. If you were using UTM plugin previously, go to Manage -> Import and Import tags from UTM to your WordPress 2.5 database by selecting Ultimate Tag Warrior from the list (there are 4 easy Steps rest is done by WordPress itself). (skip this Step if you dont have UTM plugin)



2. Make a Page and name it – Tag.php and put it in you template folder where all other pages like archive.php, index.php lies.
3. Put these lines (just copy paste) in Tag.php page (through Design -> Theme Editor -> Select -’Tag.PHP’);

<?php
/*
Template Name: Tag Archive
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?> /*---Get the Header of Page---*/

/*---  Below is code for getting Tags in list Format---*/
<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=11&largest=11&number=0&orderby=name
&format=list'); ?>

 <?php get_footer(); ?>/*---- Get Footer of Page*/

4. Go to Write -> Pages ->, Now make a fresh New Page with no content in it, select Title of your Tag Archive page, important thing is there in “Page Template” option Select “Tag Archive” as a Template of this Page.
5. Done -> publish the Page.

You can customize the tags thru function – <?php wp_tag_cloud()?>, like how they should appear in page in Tag Cloud format or List format or order of tags in order of Name (alphabetically or no. post of that tag). For example, in above I have used – &orderby=name, to order the list oaf Tags Alphabetically and &Format=List so as to display them in Listed one after the other wit line break rather than Tag Cloud wormat. For more easy customization options of refer here , Wp_Tag_Cloud Tag
