Advanced Options for WP Tag Cloud
If you are wordpress blogger, you must be using tag cloud on your sidebar right now, don’t you? Tag Cloud is wordpress default widget. It is simple but useful. You can access your tag cloud on your widgets settings. Unfortunately, you don’t have any options about this useful widget.
Usually, people import tag cloud using standard widget setting on your admin panel, but what i try to tell you is a bit different. It use manual PHP code. What’s the benefit of using PHP code? With PHP code, you can change the option about
- The maximum font (largest)
- The minimum font (smallest)
- Quantity of Tag (number)
- Some Exclusion (exclude)
- Ordering ascending or descending (order)
- Order based on count, alphabet or name (orderby)
- The output format whether list or flat font (default is flat font) (format)
And the PHP code goes like this:
<?php wp_tag_cloud("smallest=10&largest=30&number=10&order=ASC&orderby=name");?>
Just implement that code on your sidebar.php or maybe index.php or single.php . Thanks for your attention, hope you like it
