NEW! Version 5.2 released. See below for changelog/notes.
Frustrated by the built-in tag cloud widget in WordPress 2.3? I was. So I wrote my own that not only gives you configuration options (which are sorely needed), you also get font and color control of the generated links.

CTC Version 4.1 (Hebrew Translation) – Hebrew translation by Meir Pinto.
Plugin Notes:
Changelog:
ver. 5.2 – Released November 13, 2009
Changes:
- Fix: Moved plugin files out of folder so WP Extend plugin update system can be used.
- Fix: Got rid of PHP short tags.
- Change: Added default class to cloud link elements. Class name is “ctc-tag”. Thanks to Raafi Rivero (desedo.com) for bug report and link class suggestion.
ver. 5.1 – Released August 2nd, 2009
Changes:
- Fix: Fixed issue with default options not being set on plugin activation.
ver. 5.0 – Released July 31st, 2009
Changes:
- Change: Modularized plugin to better handle troubleshooting issues.
- Change: Widget upgraded to new Widget API. Retained backwards-compatibility with older versions of WordPress.
- Change: Widget is now fully multi-widget compliant. You can now have multiple cloud widgets active with different settings for each.
- Change: Added support for limiting cloud by number of posts in each tag. Both an upper and lower limit are supported. Defaults for limits are 0 (lower) and 100 (upper).
- Change: Can now choose to not show tags (i.e., to show a category cloud).
- Change: Added “dropdown” cloud format. Thanks to Scott Bradford of Scott Bradford Creative Enterprises for the change.
ver. 4.5 – Released April 18th, 2008
Changes:
- Added option menu for configuring the plugin when using the template tag. Options set via the control panel can be over-ridden using parameters in the tag. Widget and non-widget options are separate, giving you the ability to have multiple clouds with different options.
- Removed limit for number of tags returned by default. The plugin will now show ALL tags in your blog unless you specify a limit.
- Removed “Array” cloud format from widget control panel. More processing needs to be done to the array after creation in order to display, and you can’t do that when using as a widget. This was causing confusion, so it was removed.
ver. 4.1 – Released February 22nd, 2008
Changes:
- Added random sort feature for cloud
- Fixed error resulting in links for categories in the cloud not being generated correctly.
ver. 4.0 – Released February 15th, 2008
Changes:
- Added support for categories in the cloud. You can choose whether or not to show categories in the cloud, and whether to show empty categories.
- Not assigning any colors in the widget control panel or the template tag will now make the cloud links use the defined CSS link color. If only one color is supplied, your links will be that color.
ver. 3.2 – Released February 12th, 2008
Changes:
- Fixed problem with spaces after tags being underlined if using the “text-decoration: underline” style in your stylesheet.
ver. 3.1 – Released February 6th, 2008
Changes:
- Added option to use array for cloud format (see below for example)
ver. 3.0 – Released December 2nd, 2007
Changes:
- Can now be used without widgets (see below for more info)
- Added option to display post count after tags
ver. 2.51 – Released October 19th, 2007
Changes:
- Fixed bug that prevented tag count option from working correctly. It came down to a bad variable name.
ver. 2.5 – Released October 16th, 2007
Changes:
- Added div surrounding tag cloud for styling purposes.
- Fixed bug that would produce “Divide by zero” errors on display if you didn’t input anything for smallest and/or largest font size in config form.
ver. 2.0 – Released October 3rd, 2007
Changes:
- Added code necessary to enable coloring tag links by weight.
- Changed from using WordPress-native tag cloud function to internal widget function to generate tag cloud (required for color).
- Removed “array” format. I’m not sure it would be of any use running in a widget, but if you need it, the call to add it to the dropdown can be found commented out at line 217 in tag-cloud.php.
- Added brief help text to the right of each field in the form.
ver. 1.0 – Initial Release, September 22, 2007
Initial release of widget. Relied on the built-in WordPress tag cloud function.
Installation:
Upload the tag_cloud folder to your wp-content/plugins directory, and activate via the Plugins admin panel.
Upgrades:
I recommend using the automated plugin upgrade features in WordPress, but to upgrrade manually, disable plugin in Admin panel. Delete tag-cloud.php, upload the new tag_cloud folder, and enable in admin panel.
Use:
Widget Defaults:
| Title | Tags |
| Number of Tags to Show | all |
| Minimum number of posts for a tag or category to show in the cloud | 0 |
| Maximum number of posts for a tag or category to show in the cloud | 100 |
| Number of Tags to Display | 45 |
| Font Display Unit | Points |
| Smallest Font Size | 8 |
| Largest Font Size | 22 |
| Min. Tag Color | none (see note below) |
| Max. Tag Color | none (see note below) |
| Cloud Format | Flat |
| Categories in cloud? | No |
| Show empty? | No |
| Display Post Count? | No |
| Sort By | Name |
| Sort Order | Ascending |
After installing/upgrading, enable the widget via the Plugins tab. This will give you a new button in the Widgets control panel labeled “CTC” (Configurable Tag Cloud was too long for the button). Drag it into your sidebar list, and configure the options to your liking. If you want to keep the defaults for the widget, just leave everything as-is.
The widget gives you the capability to modify almost all of the settings of the wp_tag_cloud() template tag. At this point, you can do everything but exclude tags from the cloud display. I’m still working on this, but at this point, all the options most users would want are represented.
Notes about limiting the tags that are shown in the cloud (New in 5.0): You can now choose to limit the tags shown in the cloud by the number of posts they are attached to. For example, say you have one or two tags that are attached to 20 posts, but the rest only have one or two posts. Previously, these tags would be large, with the rest fairly small. Now, you can tell the plugin that you want to exclude tags that have more than 10 posts, and those tags will be excluded from the cloud, with the rest following a (hopefully) smoother gradient in both color and size. This also works for tags with fewer than a specified number of posts. The defaults as defined in the plugin are a maximum of 100 and a minimum of 0.
Notes about color (new in 2.0, updated in 4.0): If left blank, the tag cloud link colors will default to your assigned CSS color from the stylesheet. If you use one color (either min or max, doesn’t matter) only, your tag cloud links will be displayed using that color.
Notes about styling the tag cloud (new in 2.5, updated in 4.0): The div surrounding the tag cloud has it’s class set as “ctc”. You should be able to modify any property of this class via CSS except for font-size (this is set with inline styles in the links themselves). Tag link color can now be controlled via the stylesheet by leaving both the min and max colors blank in the configuration and setting a color in your stylesheet.
Notes about non-widget use (new in 3.0): Just like the widget, this function replaces the built-in wp_tag_cloud function with options for color, font size, etc. The function uses the standard query string format for arguments.
To use, simply insert the function call into your template file (most likely sidebar.php, but you can put it wherever you like), and adjust the options accordingly.
Example
<?php ctc('smallest=10&largest=28&unit=px&mincolor=#c0c0c0&maxcolor=#000000&showcount=yes'); ?>
This would show a cloud with font sizes from 10 to 28 pixels, a color gradient of #c0c0c0 to #000000, and post counts after each tag.
Notes about array use (new in 3.1): I’m still undecided on why you would want to use an array, but it was requested, so it has been added. You call the function via the template tag just as you would for non-array use, but assigning the output to a variable. I’ll give you an example.
<?php
$tags = ctc('format=array&smallest=10&largest=28&unit=px&mincolor=#c0c0c0&;maxcolor=#000000&showcount=yes');
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo $tag."\n"
}
?>
This would show a cloud just like the first example, but using an array to output it to the page.
Parameters for template tag:
| PARAMETER | FUNCTION | DEFAULT VALUE |
| smallest=# | Smallest font size to use | 8 |
| largest=# | Largest font size to use | 22 |
| minnum=# | Minimum number of posts for a tag or category to show in the cloud | 0 |
| maxnum=# | Maximum number of posts for a tag or category to show in the cloud | 100 |
| unit=pt|em|%|px | Unit for font size | pt |
| mincolor=#xxxxxx | Low color for gradient | none |
| maxcolor=#xxxxxx | High color for gradient | none |
| format=flat|list|array|drop | Format for tag cloud | flat |
| number=# | Number of tags to show | 45 |
| orderby=name|count|rand | Sort field for tags | name |
| order=ASC|DESC | Order of cloud | ASC |
| showcount=yes|no | Show post count after tags | no |
| showcats=yes|no | Show categories in cloud | no |
| empty=yes|no | Show empty categories | no |

Ok:
1) Your CTC page says you are at version 1.0 of this plugin, but the plugin file itself says .50.
2) Everything with the widget works fine except for the number of tags to display. No matter what number I put in that field, the widget displays all my tags (and I have a lot of them).
That’s what I get for not watching what folder I’m working in when I made the zip. It has now been corrected to address these two issues.
Thank you so much for this! The CTC plugin is just what I was looking for!
Is there any way there could be a feature where the least common tag on the cloud has a colour and the most common has a different and it will be respectively fade in between?
That’s an interesting idea, and one I’ve thought of. I just need to figure out a way to get a class into each tag string, so it can be modified via CSS. At this point, I’m hoping to have this functionality in ver. 2 of my widget.
hi
When I choose array as the display choice..
the tags dissapear on my page and the actual word “array” is there instead?
btw thanks for the widget, save alot of screwing around trying to add a cloud
Appreciate it
very cool, thank you! I almost reactivated simple tagging after seeing the lack of config options in the new wp :-]
now the only thing I miss is the option to add categories to the tag cloud… is that possible?
is there a way to add styles to this widget? my tags are underlined, i wanna get rid of that text decoration.
Awesome dude! My head hurt trying to figure out how to get the new tag cloud in 2.3 to work.
I heartily back up the comment that it would be cool if you could modify the widget to be wrapped in a CSS selector (I don’t know, something like .ctc) so that the rendered cloud could be controlled.
I made the change on my site. Total hack of the php as I don’t know how to do it “right”
echo $before_widget;
echo $before_title . $options['title'] . $after_title;
echo ”;
tag_cloud($tagcloud);
echo ”;
echo $after_widget;
Thanks for doing all the hard work!
Huh, it cut out the important stuff in my comment…
echo $before_widget;
echo $before_title . $options['title'] . $after_title;
echo ‘ [left-bracket] div class=”ctc” [right-bracket] ‘;
tag_cloud($tagcloud);
echo ‘[left-bracket] /div [right-bracket]‘;
echo $after_widget;
Dude, thanks for adding the tag colour. This is great!
Sorry about the lack of updates. I am working on the new version (which will include styled tags). I’m planning a release for next week, so stay tuned.
Hey I tried your plugin but it doesn’t work. I get the following error:
Warning: Division by zero in /home/board/www/www/wp-content/plugins/widgets/tag-cloud.php on line 107
How on earth do you get multiple tags on one line like you show in your example? All I can figure out is how to center align my tags. See here at my Halloween Review Blog.
I want it to be formatted like the example you give on this page.
Help please! Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the kick-ass code; you rock!
Hi, Thanks for the great plugin but the “number of tags” function are not working to me =(
Same here. Will not display the entire list.
I will hopefully be addressing this this afternoon. Keep an eye on this page for updates.
The count bug is fixed. Please get the newest version (v. 2.51), linked above.
Thanks for all the support thus far!
There is still one more issue (and it may not be your problem). The old Simple Tagging plugin would allow line breaks on spaces in the middle of tag names. WP2.3 tags do not break and some long tag names go past my right margin. Is there a way to fix this so it will work the way I’m used to it.
just want to inform u that ur plugin is great…i luv it so much..but why there is no notification inside wordpress 2.3 plugin section regarding ur updated version?
Great widget… I was looking for a way to do this and you helped out tremendously… Does anyone know if there is a way to put TAGS into a pulldown list similar to Categories?
Thanks alot. It works perfect!!
Hi – Great plugin. We are using it at two sites. Hey… are you going to add it to the WordPress.org database, so we can get an automatic update notice in our Admin. section?
Scott (and the rest
), I am waiting for approval from wp.org so I can get it in the repository. As soon as I’m approved, it’ll be added.
Wow! Just what I was looking for.
Super!
Thanks for your plugin!
I have 200 tags in my Blog. “Number of tags to dispalay” is 100. What about to make a link at the bottom “See all tags ->”, to access page with all tags on it?
Sorry for my English
It would be great if you make Delimiter setup too
I’ve been searching all day for a way to edit the font size. I’m glad I found this, but there is still a problem.
I’m getting this error…
Warning: Division by zero in /home/cabledog/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tag-cloud.php on line 125
Thanks for the widget. It will be really usefull in one of my sites. Keep on with the good work.
I like it! How can the hover color be made to coordinate with hover colors elsewhere? (i.e., in that respect behave like the WordPress 2.3 Tag Cloud, which applies the hover colors specified in style.css)
Nicely done! I’d been going in circles trying to get the standard tag cloud widget and then a few other people’s versions to display properly. Then I found my way to yours, and it works on the first try.
Like sumnerg, I’d ideally like to have the tags conform to the hover pseudo-element in my stylesheet, so I’ll check back for word on that. In the meantime, though, I’m still very happy with the widget. Good job!
nice mate, only i can’t seem to overwrite the styling on my side bar, so basicly the tags just display like there told frpm the page css and not by the form in the widget, so in other words i’m not getting big and small words like i want…
i’m new to php and a bit stuck on this one…please help
ok, i think i worked out some of the styling issue, but how do i get the tag cloud to display big and small words, i places 12px for the min. and 20px for the max. font size, but every tag just displays in the 12px…?
Thank you for nice widget. However I have a feature request. Could you enable your widget to display Posts Count in parentheses in small font just behind tha tag name: e.g. tagxx (5) TAGXX (23)
thanks for the widget! I’m having the same problem as Jamie in that the mix/max font size settings make no difference. I’m guessing, but maybe this comes down to the theme being used i.e. the CSS/div properties may be overriding the settings in the widget. I’m still WordPress newbie incidentally…
Hello, May I know where to change the font, under which option in wp??? I cant find it at all. thanks
Nice widget but it’s not picking up the font style from my regular CSS and I want it to. Plus, it only displays in the min and max font size, nothing in between. I would like it to do lots of sizes.
Thanks!
I really needed this widget! Especially after a day long search trying to figure out how to unmess my messy tags
This is so awesome, thanks.
Your PlugIn is great! Thanks a lot!
Andun
Hello,
Very nice plugin, thank you!
Is there a way to put the tag cloud on a specific WordPress ‘page’ either by specifying which page(s) it will display in the sidebar, or by inserting the cloud directly into a WordPress ‘page’? I’d like to get it off my front page but still make it available.
Tom
Just what i want! Good timing and thanks!
nice plugin!
do you know how to show the tag coud with the tags between
parenthesis like (projects) or [projects] or {} ?!
or even choose the on mouse behaviour to change the link style.
Cool plugin anyway
Cherrz
blueQ
To put the tags in parentheses, you would have to edit the code that builds the tag cloud (around line 143 in tag-cloud.php). To change the style on hover (which I assume is what you’re asking in the second question), you would need to add code to your css file. You would need to add something like this to your style.css file:
.ctc a:hover {
color: #f00;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline;
}
This would make your tag links bold, red, and underlined when you hover over them with the mouse.
Hi, great plugin, although I have one problem! For some reason I can only see the title box when I try to configure my tag cloud from the widgets screen (wordpress v2.3.2)?
Any ideas why this is? I don’t suppose you have a document somewhere explaining what does what so I can edit the php file directly do you?
Thanks!
Laura
Hi,
I installed CTC, but while the title “Tags” appears in the sidebar, there are no tags displayed. What could be wrong?
You can check out my site at http://www.csillagfeny.net
It’s in Hungarian, but you’ll find where the tag cloud should be displayed in the sidebar.
Please help me. Thanks a lot!
short tags in select options isn’t a good idea, IMHO.
all selects in configuration panel are broken.
Fixed by replacing
..replacing short tags with complete (‘?php’ instead of ‘?’)
All rest works just fine, thanx )
oops.. seems like I was wrong — still have
troubles with select lists under K2 sidebar
manager — it just puts all options outside
an empty list. (
Any suggestions?
Hmm…I thought I had gotten all of those. Sorry about that.
And yeah, the K2 Sidebar Manager is a known issue. I’ve tried every way I can see to fix it, but in the end, I was not able to. If you disable the K2 Manager and use the WordPress standard one, this problem goes away.
I really like your widget! Would it be possible to add the line-height attribute so I can adjust the line spacing? I’d also like to see the option to change the text decoration so the underline can be shut off.
Thank you very much!
Neil
Oops! I see your instructions for styling now… Got it.
Thanks!
Neil
I have the same problem as Zsolt – no matter what I try, I can’t get any categories to show up in the cloud. After enabling the plugin, shouldn’t it show all the categories I already have on the site, or do I need to recreate them or something? thanks!
Note to those who are experiencing issues like those mentioned above. the plugin ONLY works with tags. I am planning on adding category support in the future, but at this point, you must be using tags in order to use the cloud.
Thanks for a great plugin.
But could you add a hover color option please?
BR
Axel
You can easily set a hover color in your style.css file by using something similar to the following:
.ctc a:hover {
color: #f1e2d3;
}
Hope this helps
Hey Keith,
have you found a solution for ‘display type: array’?
Thanks for the great Plugin,
Tim.
Not sure if the “array” code is supposed to add the code to a post or page (which is what I’m desperately trying to do, as I want to make a tag cloud page) – but I just can’t get it to work. WordPress just winds up displaying the code directly on the page as text. Any ideas on how to get it to work? Thanks
Update: thanks for your help, Keith, this plugin works great in my new template page!! Much better than the default WordPress one.
Hi,
Thank you very much for your plugin, This works great in my blog. Wish you all the very best in your future!
how do i edit tag code to fit (the padding of) my sidebar ?
I need to move it 20 px to the right as its conflicting with the sidebar graphic
Hi
Thanks for putting the time and effort into this; it does exactly what I wanted. Much appreciated!
Matt
I’ve edited the function generate_tag_cloud to fix a little issue about css formatting (white spaces after the tag name get underlined).
I’ve replaced
… >$tag $postcount”;
with
… >$tag”.(‘yes’ == $showcount ? ” $postcount” : “”).”";
I hope it’s useful
Eduard Roccatello
Software Engineer
Thanks for Eduard. I have updated the plugin for mass consumption.
Wow, just installed the CTC on one of my K2 based WP pages and am very impressed. Thanks for a great tool!
When does the tag cloud start to actually work? Is there a minimum number of views to a tag before it starts to rank the tags?
As long as you have a post with at least one tag attached to it, you should have output from the plugin. It’s not view-based at all.
Can you, please, make this line optional? So that it could be set via Widget settings, whether we want such formatting or not. It makes some real bad look for the blogs with a fixed width:
$tag = str_replace(' ', ' ', wp_specialchars( $tag ));Sorry, it should have been:
$tag = str_replace(' ', ' ', wp_specialchars( $tag ));Sorry Andrei, I fail to see this as being an issue that warrants an option. IMO, multiple-word links shouldn’t break to more than one line (which is what this line of code does, by replacing spaces in tag name with a non-breaking space).
Thanks for the comment, but this edit won’t be made.
Thanks! Great plugin! Maybe you should list it on WordPress Extend?
hi keith,
thank you very much for the great plugin!
just one question: i´m running event calendar 3.1.1. – and it seems, that this one doesn´t like CTC (or vice versa? i dont´know…). on the sidebar, everything is allright, tags from all posts (incl. calendar-posts) are displayed, even in correct size and colour… but after clicking a tag, the calendar-posts aren´t displayed, as if they wouldn´t exist. Any idea for a solution? Thanks! (and excuse me for my worse knowledges of speaking english!)
Can’t get it to stop displaying the categories with the tags. Thoughts?
@Matthias, it is listed on WP Extend… Configurable Tag Cloud
@Katrin, I’ll look into it. If I remember correctly (and I probably don’t…
), EC does some voodoo with the posts for it’s category, and that may be causing the issue.
Hi Keith,
i have an feature request. I would like to sort the tag cloud randomly. Not via the Name or count.
And maybe it would be possible that every unique visitor gets a different randomly sorted tag could to see.
i also have some other ideas, but i think they are to hard to implement.
Keep up the really good work!
And the support for non widgetized themes. 
Great widget! You’ve added all the functionality that should have been provided with WP 2.3 in the first place!
I do have one question. If you look at my homepage you will see the post contains two tags (import & thunderbird) that are not listed in the CTC 4.1. There are others missing on other posts. Key settings are Smallest Font Size is 11 pixels, Show Empty is off and I have not specified a max tag count to show. All the tags that are missing only have 1 instance of the tag. Any idea what could be causing this?
FYI! Your plugin wont switch to enable in Plugins tab. You should look at changes in code. I tried to update plugin, but the thing is stuck.
My guess is you have another plugin that’s conflicting with CTC. I tested the plugin in WP 2.3.3, WPMU 1.3.3, and WP 2.5-RC1, and none show any problems.
@Keith, Problem solved. I set the number of tags to display to 999 and those missing tags showed. When I leave that field blank they don’t show. I have a fair few tags and I’m guessing version 4.1 of the widget has a default value for that field but doesn’t show it. In the next version you might want to show that default (or set infinity to the default) so other people don’t get caught the same way. I use the flat display mode so I don’t know if it is specific to that mode.
Very nice work !
Is it me or it is not possible to center the tags inside the cloud ? If so, could you add this option ? If not, is there’s a way to modify (please simply
css or a line of code to have something like a text-align parameter ?
@Yoopla, The simplest way would be to add something like the following to your style.css file:
.ctc {
text-align: center;
}
That will do what you’re looking for. Note that this will only work without more editing if you’re using the widget version of the cloud. If you’re using it via the template tag (by calling the ctc() function in one of your template files), you’ll need to wrap the function call in a div with a class of “ctc”.
Download is not working
(cannot found file) Why? Is something broken?
@mamrotha (and anyone else who tried to download the plugin last night/this morning), the download link has now been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
hello , i don’t have widgets support , and ived tried u’re code…. and it dosen’t work what should i do ?
我轻轻的飘过 在这里留下了 中文
To those who are confused by the previous comment (I know I was!
), it was left by “Chinese People” and it says “I gently fluttered have left behind Chinese in here”…or at least that’s what the Babel Fish tells me… 
Thx for a gr8 plugin. Can you tell me if the min. and max. colours are used in the config, how the link (hover) colour can still be activated. As upon using tyhe min/max colour setting I now have no hover links working.
thx
Thanks for a really nice plugin.
I found a couple problems with it that you may be interested in.
You are using the a shortcut method of calling the echo keyword on the admin page control (<?=blah?>). This only works if the short_open_tag option is set to “On” in the php.ini file. By default this option is set to “Off”, at least in Windows versions. The solution is to use the full version of echo instead (<?php echo blah; ?>)
On both IE7 and Firefox running on Windows Vista, I’ve found that the dialog box that pops up to configure the widget isn’t big enough to contain all the controls and text. It’s currently set to 510 pixels high. Setting it to 610 solves the problem.
I’ve made these changes on my machine and can make them available, but I would prefer if you made these changes and released a new version. Let me know what you’d like to do.
Thanks,
David
I have uploaded the plugin – and it can be enabled but the only widget option I get is to enter the title name. Theres no ‘CTC’ panel in the ‘Widgets’ menu or anywhere else. I’ve tried uploading to a /widgets sub dir off the plugins one and the plugin appears in the plugin list and can be activated but as I said, no options panel!
I’m using WP 2.3.1
Any ideas?
Andy
Thank you so much m(__)m. Worked like a charm
Thanks for your plugin. works great on my site and with my recent upgrade to 2.5 RC2.
Keep on pluggin!
Hi,
I can download the file, but Winrar is unable to unpack it due to “unexpected end of archive”.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
Thanks for this widget. Much appreciated.
I added list tags to your plugin, so I can format the tags. The tag allowed me to control the font weight, padding, etc.
Here’s the simple change:
$a[] = "$tag".('yes' == $showcount ? " $postcount" : "")."";Great idea. I love this plugin; however, I am experiencing a problem trying to make your tags plugin-widget stay within the size of my sidebar. How can I adjust the width of the sidebar tags widget to stay within the sidebar? and ideas?
Phil
Good plugin, good replacement for standard WP tag cloud.
One problem so far, you use a lot of PHP short open tags <? instead of <?php which requires to enable this in php.ini. By default it’s disabled and PHP encourages to don’t use short version <? due to portability issue. So, it would be better to replace all <? with <?php.
Thank for the plugin, will be using it!
–Vlad.
Great widget!
But any ETA on that “exclude” feature?
It doesn’t have to be textual. A list of tag-IDs is still more than ok.
I am using word press 2.5, and theres a list of features that seem to not be working:
1) Catagories – The catagories are not displaying in the tag cloud, even with the feature turned on in the plugin.
2) The plugin seems to only be using the min font size and not the max.
Any thoughts?
@Pinekones: I’m not seeing either of these issues on either my personal blog or on my testing server (both running 2.5). I also checked it on the latest nightly build of of WP 2.6, and both options work fine there too.
@Andrei: I am planning on including this in either 4.5 or 5.0. I’m going to try to have 4.5 out by the end of the month (it’s more or less done, but I still need to do more testing), with 5.0 possibly next month. It’s all going to depend on how much I can get done with my current workload.
Hi,
I recently upgraded to wordpress 2.5 and now the CTC shows my tags, but when you click on any of the tags I see a not found screen.
Please advise.
Hi – and thanks a lot for the plugin!
I wonder: Is it possible to make it display ONLY categories?
In other words, to avoid having tags included?
Thanks,

This plugin does not work in WP 2.5.1 at all. The title for the widget displays but that’s all. At my site I have a list of plugins that I’m using, could any of those be conflicting with CTC or does it just not work with the new version of WP?
Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for a very nice plugin.
I wonder, though, is it possible to display only the categories and nothing else in the cloud?
Would be great
Kjetil
thanks for your plugin. It give me a breaking code. I was frustated with WP 2.5 for tag cloud plugin. great job
Is it possible to only show the Tags from all articles in a spcific categorie?
@Andreas: Currently, no. I’m still not completely up to speed on how tag/category intersections work, but it’s something I have thought about.
@Keith
I use categories and tags in the following way:
For example on my website http://www.WebCams-Worldwide.info
1. Categories for the overall structure (Countries / Staats)
2. Tag for the details (Cities, etc.)
hi there .thanks for plugin:
Does anybody know if tis script is compatible with WordPress 2.5.1 ?
Thanks in advance for any help on this!
regards
Yes, this plugin is fully WP 2.5.1 (and WPMU 1.5.1) compatible.
great plugin. i love the changes on 4.5. but since WP2.5.1 it just shows 2 or 3 font sizes on the cloud. dont know why, i did not do any changes.
Hi,
I recently upgraded to wordpress 2.5.1. CTC shows my tags ok, but when you click on any of the tags I see a not found screen.
Any help as to what the issue may be?
Thanks.
Long sidebars can be a pain if you are browsing pages with short text, so here is my idea: Add a option button that allows the display of the CTC widget on the main page only. is_home() I think is the conditional phrase for that. I couldn’t find a way to do it myself, so that’s why I post it. If however there is a easy way to do so, let me know. philsblogging at gmail dot com — thanks! great plugin!
Hi. I recently upgraded to WordPress 2.5, which has been fine for everything except tags. I used to have UTW, which worked great. The new system refused to import my UTW tags (no matter how many tricks I used), so I have had to add them manually (a huge task). I don’t like the built-in tag cloud widget, so I got yours, which I like very much. I was wondering if you might be able to help me solve another tag issue I’m left with by the breaking of UTW: a tag archive page. Is there a simple way to create a tag archive tapping into your plugin somehow?
Can I have two tag clouds in one sidebar and can i filter categories for each?
Thank you for the great plugin.
For people who are using the options page to control settings, you can just put:
<?php ctc(''); ?>
into your side bar.
AFAIK, there's no reason why you couldn't have two (or more) tag clouds
in your sidebar. You'd just need to use the template tag method (i.e.,
add <?php ctc(''); ?> to your sidebar template) instead of the
widget method.
As for the filtering, The way the plugin currently operates, it's an
all or nothing affair. You might be able to do some filtering using
the array cloud format, but truthfully, I'm not sure how you'd go about
doing it.
Thanks for the plugin works really well
Thanks for a great plugin. Is it possible to display the tag cloud outside of the sidebar? In the content or footer section, for example?
Yeah, you can use it anywhere in your template that you'd like, but
you'll have to use the template tag version instead of the widget.
Just put <?php ctc(''); ?> wherever you'd like it to appear, and
set the options in the WordPress Admin panel.
Hello. Great plugin, thanks. How can I display the tag cloud in a page ?
The easiest way would be to use the template tag (<?php ctc('');
?>) and make a new page template that you use for the page where you
want the cloud to appear. Otherwise, you could use a plugin that
allows you to use php directly in the page contents, but I've never had
much success with that method.
Hello! Your plugin is great, but I noticed something strange: when I click a tag with two words nothing is returned. I'm using WordPress 2.6.5 and CTC 4.5. Thanks.
I'm not sure why this would be the case. As you can see here, it works as expected with multi-word tags (check the "weight loss" and "sad but true" tags). Do you have a link I can look at to try to figure out what's going on?
Great plugin! Do you have any plans to make it compatible with 2.7 WordPress?
I would like to exclude certain tags from the sidebar widget cloud display. The 'Tags to Exclude' field does not seem to be working. I'm using CTC 4.5.
I saw the following so I don't know if this functionality is working yet: "The widget gives you the capability to modify almost all of the settings of the wp_tag_cloud() template tag. At this point, you can do everything but exclude tags from the cloud display. I’m still working on this, but at this point, all the options most users would want are represented."
Thanks. -Ali
Hi, Great plugin – works like a charm!
Is it possible to make a dropdown (or have the option for that) instead of a list or flat? how and where can I hack tag-cloud.php to make it possible?
Thanks!
Oh man, thanks so much for this. Totally solved all of my tag angst.
Good to hear! I suggest you update the description of your plugin at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configurable-...to reflect that. It currently (7-Feb-2009) says "Compatible up to: 2.5" and I get a message "Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress." when I select it for installation on 2.7 (which I will ignore based on your response).
Thank you for writing this.
I have updated the readme in the WP Extend repository to reflect compatibility up to version 2.8-bleeding-edge (just in case there's anyone running that version in a production environment). I've been meaning to update the readme for a while to reflect current compatibility, and finally made time this morning.
Is it possible to add a feature to sort tags by popularity and then alphabetically?
e.g. If you have 4 tags and they are labeled as: student, classes, books, courses. Let say you have 10 posts that contain the student tag and the remaining 3 tags both have an equal number of 7 posts.
The order for most popular would be: student, classes, books and courses.
The order for most popular sorted alphabetically would be: student, books, classes and courses.
Currently, Configurable Tag Cloud sorts by most popular, but for tags with the same post count the tags are listed randomly from what I can tell or at the very least they aren't listed alphabetically for tags that contain the same post count.
In the future, do you think you can implement such features perhaps?
i'd love a copy too!
sdk [at] stephen daniel karpik [dot] com
Thanks!
Hi,
great plugin simple and exactly what I was looking for
In the widget code, I just replace the ' ' between tag name and tag count by &npsp; to keep both on the same line.
thx
Hi, I just installed the plugin (by the way, I am new to WP) but wanted to know where in the code I need to set up margins, right now the tags don't break and go to the right beyond my page. Any help is appreciated. Gracias
Hey great plugin but is there a way to also include empty tags in tag clound?
I have uploaded the tag-cloud.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. I have activated the CTC plugin. I have modified the various options in the settings section. But when I go to the widgets section to add the CTC widget, I get this error every single time:
Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.
Any thoughts?
I would prefer to not use the widget section and instead add the correct text directly into the right_sidebar.php file (I have to do this as for some reason widgets refuse to be added to the sidebar #2 (right sidebar) via the widget dashboard. I can use the widget dashboard to add teh ctc widget to the left sidebar but that is not where I want it).
When I add teh recommended text, nothing happens. I tried adding:
<?php ctc(); ?>
to the php file as I had modified everything in the settings area. But nothing showed up. So I modifed the line to this:
"<?php ('smallest=14&largest=36&unit=px&mincolor=#473C8Bb&maxcolor=#8B2500&format=array&showcats=no&showcount=yes&empty=no&order=DESC'); ?>" But still nothing. I do not think I have a ctc file anywhere.
When I change it to: ctc<?php widget_ctc(); ?> I do get a tag cloud but alos addional unwanted text. So it is working, just not as I need it to.
Any suggestions?
I found this plugin via google today and i thought it sounded real good, so I installed it on my test system on my local drive. I activated the plugin and entered in settings, all seemed fine. But it doesn't seem to work, my tag cloud is still the WordPress default. I'm using wordPress 2.7.1 – will it work with this version? Is there anythign I might have missed?
I see you deleted my last post. It wasn't spam btw. Not sure why you thought it was. Please email me or check out my website if you have any doubts. Anyway I solved the issue btw. My tags were being displayed by another plugin – I had to edit the part of the plugin that covered the tag cloud from <?php if(function_exists("wp_tag_cloud")) : ?>
<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=12&largest=20&'); ?>
to
<?php if(function_exists("ctc")) : ?>
<?php ctc('smallest=10&largest=28&unit=px'); ?>
Hi. I'm using this widget on blog.eastteak.com, and I'm running into a sizing problem. Some of our more popular tags consist of a few words (i.e. "National Association of Homebuilders"). So we can set the largest size to more than 11 px because the tag runs out of the sidebar box, rather than wrapping down to the next line. Any idea how we can solve this?
Hi,
Great plugin, but…
I have a problem with color((
a:hover style for links in the widget in my stylesheet is ignored
text-decoration: underline for a:hover works fine, but the color….
url: http://www.armeniatravelblog.com
style: http://www.armeniatravelblog.com/wp-content/theme...
look for .widget_tags li:hover a:hover
Could you please advise here?
Thanks
Great plugin, but…
it has a big drawback: a:hover color in the stylesheet for ctc div class does NOt work.
"text-decoration:underline" for a:hover works perfect, but not the color.
Would be nice if you could fix it!
Thanks
To those having issues with hover colors, it doesn’t work as expected because of the way the colors get applied to the links (via inline styles in the tag itself). It can be made to work, however. All you need to do is add the CSS “!important” declaration to the color property for the hover style…do something like this, and it will work for you:
.ctc a:hover {
color: #f00 !important;
}
The “!important” tells the css engine to override all styles with this one.
Thanks for the tip, Keith, it worked!
Is there an option to require a minimum number of posts in a tag for it to show up? For example, I want to show 999 tags (all of them) but only if they have 2 or more posts in them. That would be great. Thanks!
Hey Hi, im interested in your plugin, but the download link is broken,
is there any other place i could donwload it?
Thanks in advance
have a nice day
This issue should be fixed…there was a problem with the plugin I use
to manage downloads, but it has been addressed. Sorry for the trouble.
Great.
Two suggestion.
1. Widget title should be __('Tags') instead of simply 'Tags'
2. I'm using Language Switcher, so i've replaced "$tag = str_replace(' ', ' ', wp_specialchars( $tag ));" with "$tag = apply_filters('the_title', str_replace(' ', ' ', wp_specialchars( $tag )));". Probably, this could be done in more elegant way, i dont know.
Thank you!-)
Voila.
I don't know why standart tag cloud widget does not work with Thesis 1.5 theme. So i installed CTC on my webpage. For thesis users you can check out this bug-fix – Agriculture Guide
Instead of using ( actually can't ) standart tag cloud, you can see how CTC charmed my thesis theme.
Warmly.
I think it can be done by
"showcount=yes' option.
If we can find a way to if loop, if showcount > 1 , then continue.
Im not professional, but someone who know a bit php can solve this.
At least i said my opinion.
Voila.

Hello.
I used the automatically upgrade but the plugin disappeared. Can anybody help me?
There is in the new version of the plugin, which was released yesterday. You can limit the cloud with both a minimum number and a maximum number of posts per tag.
There is an issue when you use the automatic update feature. It creates an erroneous folder that contains the actual plugin folder. For the time being, please refrain from using the automatic upgrade. If you have already upgraded via the automatic method and the plugin disappeared from your plugins list, just ftp to your WP install, go into the plugin directory, and move the 'tag_cloud' directory from the 'configurable-tag-cloud-widget' directory to the main plugins directory. After you do this, you can activate the plugin as normal.
Sorry for the issues…I'm trying to find a fix, and will post agian when I figure it out.
Seems to be another issue as well when using the plugin manually (without widget). < ? php ctc(); ? > No longer works. Is it just me?
Strange…I'm not seeing this issue on any of the blogs I have the
plugin installed on…does it give an error, or just not display
anything?
Doesn't display anything.
I ran into the problem of the disappearing tag cloud when I did an update. I've now moved tag_cloud folder to the plugins directory and added the widget to the sidebar, but changing the number of tags to display has no effect.
Yeah I also moved the tag_cloud folder as instructed.
The widget works, but I also can't get the < ? php ctc(); ? > to work.
My bad folks…looks like I let one slip by. The problem was the
default options were not being set correctly at plugin activation.
This has been addressed, but unfortunately, the automatic upgrade issue
has not. To get the new version, download it from here and install it
manually.
Should the .svn folder be part of the download? That will confuse some people I think.
It's working ok now. Thanks for the update.
Would be nice to have an option to specify a punctuation character between tags, with a default of "," in the configuration.
Nice update. I had some troule with the autoatic installer but with the comments here that was easy to fix.
One other small issue:
I would like the widget to show no title when I don't fill in one. Now it shows the default title ("Tags"). Sometimes I just don't need or want a title above my widget.
Hi,
Really like the plugin, but would be great (for me) if there were a couple of other functions:
1. the ability to output the php function and NOT have the cloud formatting. I just want the tag links without the cloud formating (still be able to output as flat or list).
2. more output functions, such as most popular tags by date (most popular tags in the last 30 days, for example).
3. output specific tags using the tag ID number …. that way I can choose a list of 10 tags, for example.
Thanks again!
Hi all,
I created a nice little PHP snippet that highlights the chosen tag on an archive-page (without hacking the plugin):
<code>
<?php
$tags = ctc('format=array&smallest=12&largest=36&unit=px&mincolor=#000000&maxcolor=#000000&showcount=no');
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
if(is_tag()){
$pattern = "/".single_tag_title('', false)."/"; // zoekt naar de tag van deze pagina
if(preg_match($pattern, $tag, $match)){
$pattern="/color:+.+;/";
$replacement = "color: #ff0000;";
$new_tag = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $tag);
$tag = $new_tag;
}
}
echo $tag."n" ;
}
?>
</code>
You can use this snippet in your template inside and outside the loop.
Have fun with it!
Hi, I have been using this plugin for a while, and recently upgraded to 5.1. I got stuck in the automatic upgrade problem and then fixed it as instructed. The options didn't seem to be working so I deleted the plugin and then manually uploaded and activated it.
I can see the cloud on my page, but none of the options seem to be working. For example, it is showing all of my tags even though I have it limited to 20. I have also tried calling in from php in my theme as ctc('number=20') which also does not seem to have any effect. Any Ideas?
Let me also add to my last post that I believe the number of tags in the cloud are somehow related to the length of the page. On a long page it lists all of my tags, on a shorter one is lists less of them, and on an even shorter one it lists even less. All files call the same sidebar.php file so I don't know where they are getting different tag limits.
If you need to see what I mean, the website is…
http://avsonline.tv
The front page does not show the tag cloud (by design) but the other pages (Portfolio, About Us, Press, etc) do show them with each of the pages listed showing less and less tags all the while being limited to 20 in the options.
Where do I find CTC for WP 2.7.1? Please send me the download link.
thx
The current version will work on WP 2.7.1. When I started converting
to the new Widgets API, I thought it was going to be an either/or
proposition, but I figured out how to keep it compatible with both
versions.
OK… I tried again.
1. Error when I choose it
This plugin is marked as not compatible with your actual wordpress version
2. Error after inline installation
Warning: require(/vrmd/homepages/u33020/cc/wp-content/plugins/tag_cloud/base.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /vrmd/homepages/u33020/cc/wp-content/plugins/configurable-tag-cloud-widget/tag_cloud/tag_cloud.php on line 16

what do I do wrong?
is there a showtags() just like we have showcats?
Thank you, is the great plugins, but i need know how i cant insert a link for more tags, after i declared the total number of tags appear in the cloud. Is possible?
I'm not sure what I've missed and am hoping you can direct me. The tag cloud shows up just fine, but the links don't work and give a "Not Found" message. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
The plugin does not have a valid header.
What's wong?
When I choose to display less tags than I have is it possible to show an "display all" link at the end (after tha last displayed tag). This will let a visitor know there are more tags. Clicking this link should now display all tags, maybe in a new page.
Problem is I have more than 50 tags and i want to show around half of this but with a link at the end to allow users didplay all if they like.
Many thanks for this plugin…!
Does anyone know, can I have a tag cloud in a page that displays different content than
is on other pages?
Trying to implement a Thesis Word Press theme to manage content here:
http://www.mlm-theWholeTruth.com
If anyone can tell me how to do it, I would be willing show some gratitude.
Lou Abbott
Thanks a lot. Exactly what I've been looking for. It'd be nice if we had options to exclude certain tags. More than good already anyway.
I really like your plug-in, and using it for almost a year on my site.
Thanks!
Great Plugin! I'm looking to add a little more. First off, I will say, I know very little about coding, etc. This plugin does 1/2 of what I'm looking for exactly. On my website, each tag is associated with a thumbnail. I found another great plugin, Tag Images, which allows you to assign an image to a tag. To make use of the image, the instructions tell you add something like `echo get_tag_image($tag)` or `foreach (get_the_tags() as $tag) echo get_tag_image($tag);`, to print out the image.
I'm guessing I could add this code in this plugin somewhere so I can have the image on top and then the tag name and count below. Just wondering if someone else on here has done this in the past? If so, could you share how you did it? I'll probably be spending the next 40 hours working on this and if I get it to work.. I"ll repost.
what's going on with Version: 5.2?

This has been addressed (it was a stupid error on my part caused by not enough coffee
), however, you'll need to manually download the plugin in order to resolve it. I forgot to change the location of the required files in the code, so it threw an error when you tried to activate it.
I just downloaded 5.2 from here and extracted it into my plugins directory. Activation threw the following fatal error. Switching back to 5.1.

Hi Keith. I've just downloaded version 5.0 today. (last one available, right? Because somoene here said he downloaded the 5.2 ?? Where is it? ) But I get this error when trying to activate the plugin:____Warning: require(/home/domain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/base.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/domain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/configurable-tag-cloud-widget/tag_cloud.php on line 16____I've read something you said about downloading manually the plugin? How do I do that? Look please. What I did was, first, download the ZIP to my computer. Second, uploaded it to my site via CPanel. Once there, ( and using CPanel) I extracted files into a new folder I called "tag cloud" . Once extracted, I put the folder "configurable-tag-cloud-widget" I've got from extraction, in the "/public_html/wp-content/plugins" directory. Last, I went to "manage plugins" in WP, found the plugin there and tried to activate it. That's all. Now, is this procedure what you call "manual download"? If not, please tell me how I do it. ____Thanks!__Cristian
First off, sorry for taking so long to post back…between having a 6 month old, and work, I've been swamped!
I'm not sure why you guys are seeing the errors on activation. I have downloaded the plugin from both here and from WP Extend and both work fine. If you're having issues, I'd recommend deleting the plugin from your plugins folder and try installing it again either from a download or via the Plugin Search function, both work equally well).
Widget Title in different languages: Could you please give me a hint where to look for the string of the widget title? I'd like to add some code from qTranslate to switch the language of the title between german and italian.
Hi there,
do you think another feature could be to remove the "internal" link? I want to use the tag-cloud for additional content with havin so much internal links on my blog.
Thanks Joachim
Hello!
Thank for a beautiful plugin! Very very useful!
One question: can I add tags like a single line to my template? instead of pagelist (in my case). Code in template (header.php) here:
<div id="navpages">
<ul id="navpagelist">
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&exclude='.$npdv_options["excludePageNav"]); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
Thank you!
runner a newer version of wp (2.8+) and have a ton of catergories/posts, but activating ctc, and adding it to the widgets shows nothing – the code is there (in firebug) but the ctc div is empty
Nice plugin…thanks
tag cloud appears to be boring…all tags are the same size, and just appear as one color…
I see nothing to brag about…
Well so far so good, a brilliant and simple to install and customise. Thank You (seasons Greetings too, if you are that way inclined!!)
Hello, Thanks for the plugin, one issue I am having is it seems that it is not following the maxnum rule for categories. What do I need to change so it categories will follow? Thanks!
Great plugin! I have been using it for several months now and I love it. I have however, run into a problem. I now have over 60 tags but only 45 show up on the new post submission page and on the "Post Tags" page in my blog's admin section. All tags do show up on my blog but when posting a new post, I have only 45 tags to select from. Does anyone know how I might fix this? Is there an actual help forum someplace? ~ Thank you!!!
need help please, have uploaded to plugins, I activated, and there is no tags in the widgets?
whats going on with this? Nothing, nada….
I don't see this one asked yet. When I activate the plug in, I get it with a brownish background. Any help / suggestions on where I can change that to match the rest of my site?
This is nice.. It'd be nicer if it did pages (with tags) too!
Terrific plugin, Keith. I'm using it (with credit on my 'about' page) on my site.
A feature that would be very cool would be if the tags' LINK colors could also be user defined. (A color gradient like the COLOR property would be sweet!)
It works ! One question: i use the tagcloud as dropdown-menu. how /where i can change the predefined word "select tag" that is shown as first tag in the dropdownmenu?
never mind, I looked at the directions, and now it is beautiful, I like it very much, awesome job
I forgot to drag the CTC widget to my widgets on the right… sorry about that bad comment…
I loaded it onto a 2.9.1 wordpress, and set everything up, then saved it, but nothing changes on the actual blog…
um… so… yeah… I don't like it.
I'd really like to download this, but your download link is broken!
Ah, found it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configurable-...
Love it! Thank you.
Sorry about the broken download link folks…the plugin I use to manage downloads issued an update that caused a few issues. It has been rectified now, but I'll be adding a link to the plugin listing at WP Extend so if this happens in the future, it shouldn't be so hard to get the plugin.
Again, sorry for the confusion.
what's an example URL where i can see it in action?
++
I too would love such a feature for the same reasons. A shortcode for a tag cloud would do the trick, I think. One could use a inline PHP exec plugin but I'd prefer not to go down that road (doesn't seem to display the "flat" tag cloud correctly for me anyway; I get a list format).
Same problem as Jared.
I'm testing this with minnum and maxnum with showcats set to "yes". minnum and maxnum doesn't appear to work when categories are enabled.
Okay this was an easy fix.
Change the whole *if ('yes' == $showcats) {* block to:
if ('yes' == $showcats) {
// Do they want to see empty categories?
if ('yes' == $empty) {
$empty=0;
} else {
$empty=1;
}
$hide_empty = '&hide_empty='.$empty;
$cats = get_categories("show_count=1&use_desc_for_title=0&hierarchical=0$hide_empty");
$filteredCats = array();
foreach ($cats as $cat) {
if ($cat->count < $minnum || $cat->count > $maxnum)
continue;
array_push($filteredCats, $cat);
}
$tagscats = array_merge($tags, $filteredCats);

I'm new to wordpress, and don't know too much about this. And I think this was working when I installed it a few months ago….anyhow I'm curious why this doesn't appear as a cloud, but instead as a list. In the CTC settings there is Flat, List, Dropdown, and array. No matter what I choose, its always a list. I run the latest wordpress. I'm assuming that the individual widget settings under Appearance – widgets, is overriding the general settings. I notice in that area only Flat, List, and Dropdown are available. Array is missing.

hi, thanks for the plugin, I’ve been using it at least a couple of years, but I would really appreciate the addition of an exclude option, as promised way up there and long ago.
If there’s some arcane technical reason why this cannot be done, would you mind letting us know?
I’d be tempted to dive in and hack the plugin myself, but I’d only do something hilarious…
It would be great to see an exclude option!
After installing the tag cloud in left sidebar I filled in the choices.
In my own Fireox the are there and visible. In Internet Explorer they are invisible. Only the Title: Tags On Weblog RCS is visible but the 400 tags nowhere tobe seen.
Some other peoples also complain that the can't see them others do see them. It doesn't matter which browser they use….
