i've read some article about that and they say that i need to do some change to wp_query , but i'm not familiar with php , i know some basic coding stuff but not php , i want someone to explain how i can do it , so i can list all my untagged posts

if (! $tag) {
echo 'this post has no tags ' . /the_permalink();
}

Solution:

That is not the best way to get posts that have no tags. Also notice the dates of the posts in that link - 7 years ago! That is definitely SIGNIFICANTLY out-of-date.

Have a look at this WordPress StackExchange post which shows you how to get retrieve tagless posts usingwp_query with thetax_query option: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/114978/get-all-posts-without-tags

$tags = get_terms('post_tag', array('fields'=>'ids') );
$args = array(
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'tax_query' => array(
    array(
      'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
      'field' => 'id',
      'terms' => $tags,
      'operator' => 'NOT IN'
    )
  )
);
$untagged = new WP_Query( $args );
