Title: Tag Cloud Shortcode Author: D'Arcy Norman Published: September 10, 2009 Last modified: October 22, 2019 --- Search plugins 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. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/tag-cloud-shortcode.svg) # Tag Cloud Shortcode By [D’Arcy Norman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dnorman/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/tag-cloud-shortcode.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/tag-cloud-shortcode/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/tag-cloud-shortcode/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/tag-cloud-shortcode/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/tag-cloud-shortcode/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tag-cloud-shortcode/) ## Description The plugin gives users the oportunity to embed a tag cloud for a site within any page. When using the shortcode [tagcloud] when writing in the content of any page, the user includes in the page, a tag cloud for posts on that site. I am working on adding the ability to set options, such as sizes, etc… ## Screenshots * [[ * adding the shortcode to a page * [[ * sample embedded tag cloud ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Download the tag-cloud-shortcode.zip file to a directory of your choice(preferably the wp-content/plugins folder) 2. Unzip the tag-cloud-shortcode.zip file into the wordpress plugins directory: ‘ wp-content/plugins/’ 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 4. Include the [tagcloud] shortcode in any page you wish to include the tag cloud display. ## FAQ How do I use the plugin? When you write or edit the content of a page, simply include [tagcloud] (along with the brackets) whenever you want the tag cloud to be displayed. Make sure you activate the plugin before you use the shortcode. Why is the tag cloud not displayed, even though I included the shorttag ? The plugin probably has not yet been activated. Why does my posted content also show the shortcode [tagcloud]? At the moment, the tag-cloud-shortcode plugin only works when used in pages. The content displayed by the plugin table probably malfunctioned if you used the shortcode in a post. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ff2924756588e2314669442b982970aab32fc52860660c94bcd5e441b00a7b3d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Looks great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looks-great-111/)󠁿 [schreimann](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schreimann/) December 19, 2018 Hi There, First thank you for the plugin, it looks quite nice! But I have two problems with it, maybe you can help me? I kinda want to only show the tag cloud. Somehow I don’t see the option to show the Tagcloud instead of the Blogtags of wordpress. Is there a option to turn them off? And my second problem is that it shows all the tags of the website. Is there a possibility that it just shows those of the post itself? Thank you for your help! Best, Manuel ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9d650d0f8d322d93761c0a259d2b5504d27bbe70f29128d49791418c584f514b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-17675/)󠁿 [hop3y](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hop3y/) April 20, 2018 Does exactly what I want it to do. A little customisation would be great for the next iteration.
