This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Cool Tag Cloud

Lýsing

The plugin renders a tag cloud using a professionally designed tag image as a background.

The plugin’s tag cloud is completely responsive and is correctly rendered in all browsers.

The primary application of this feature is through the „Cool Tag Cloud“ widget, but you can also use the shortcode [cool_tag_cloud] to display the tag cloud anywhere where shortcodes are supported.

Here is the list of parameters that can be used with the shortcode, each with its own set of potential values (which are separated by the | symbol):

  • style="default|silver|green|red|blue|brown|purple|cyan|lime|black"
  • font_family="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
  • smallest="10"
  • largest="10"
  • align="left|right"
  • font_weight="normal|bold"
  • text_transform="none|uppercase|lowercase|capitalize"
  • number="20"
  • order_by="name|count"
  • order="ASC|DESC|RAND"
  • taxonomy="post_tag"
  • nofollow="yes|no"
  • animation="yes|no"
  • on_single_display="global|local"
  • on_archive_display="all|children|siblings|descendants"
  • exclude="1,2,3"
  • include="1,2,3"

Special thanks to Orman Clark for the tag image and to Dimox for the CSS code.

SOS

Why is the font size limited to 17px?

Because when a larger font size is set, the tag text does not fit into the tag image.

Does the plugin support localization?

Yes, please use translate.wordpress.org.

Looks great and matches my yourpetsupply.store site colours. Thank you for creating an amazing plugin! Kevin

All options in Widget. Easy to use, but:- only one design of tag display. neat, but very limited- no custom colours available. only like 10 prefixed ones.- one ONE tag user can select to filter posts/products, not multiple. This is a MUST!- if less tags are shown than available there is NO WAY that the user can see the remaining tags. Plugin should show a „show more“ in this situation, not only when container has a fixed pixel size. I would love or support further updates

The default WordPress tags aren’t good looking but thanks to this plugin, you can beautifully display your tags and can also customize their colour. Thanks a lot for the developer.
