Hay,
I know this is not best practice but i this is so much more practical for me as im always changing devices plugged into this switch, i want to know how i can tag all my vlans (10,11,12,13,14,15,20) onto all ports, i am very new to cisco so any help

In cisco terms if you like all vlan to be allowed on that port, you should configure as trunk with trunk allowed VLAN
this is generally be done if you looking to allow more VLAN in the transit or any virtual environment like esxi or others.
but if this is end device port - in cisco called access port- the port required to allocated based on the end device connected, then you need to look for 802.1x solution

Sorry why you need to tag vlan in port' can you more elaborate?

Trunk links will always tag all my vlans except vlan 1; so, if u force a port to be a trunk port manually (to disable DTP) u get your goal; perhaps there is another way to mediate your issue; what ever that may be ? what is the issue?

Hay,
Thank you all for the suggestions. So I have different VLANs for different things
1-Lan Traffic
10-1Wifi
11-Guest Wifi
12-CCTV
13-Switch_MGT
14-AP_MGT
i want to make it so i don't need to go all around the office to plug different things in, I've got a port next to me port 5 that i want to tag all vlans on that port, so one day I'm configuring AP's, another a laptop, another CCTV, all on that one port. Hope this makes sense

Not easy to accomplish because it would either require either host device to negotiate with network edge device or network edge device to recognize host device to assign appropriate VLAN.
Or, you just assign VLANs strictly based on physical topology. The latter, though, hinders VLAN based security.

i would assign the VLAN on the devices, on the CCTV ill tell the CCTV to use VLAN 12, so on. but i just need the port to accept all vlans

Yup, I got that. However, switch ports are either assigned as an access port having one VLAN for untagged frames (and optionally, on many switches, a single [voice] tagged frame VLAN) or as a trunk port, which also can have a VLAN for untagged frames or multiple VLANs for tagged frames.
If all your hosts tag their frames (correctly), a trunk port would satisfy your need.
Otherwise, reread my prior reply.
