First off, thanks for making this widget. I was very annoyed to find that the default WordPress Tag Cloud actually broke my layout on the site I wanted to use it on.
I actually want to request a feature for the next update: can you make an option in the widget so that people can select whether they want the widget to be part of a list or not?
Right now the default is to surround it with a tags, but that doesn’t look right on my theme so I had to go and manually edit that part out of the code.
Also, it would be cool to have the option to be able to specify a character that goes between the tags, like allowing a comma or a semi-colon to separate them.
Thanks again for writing the plugin!
Er what I was trying to say is that the content is surrounded by the <ul> tag (hopefully I didn’t mess up the code this time).
Hello tekanji,
thanks for your sheds. I think I understand your request. It should be possible to select, if the content should be a list or wraped by a div. I think the next update will include some styling features that allows you to choose a) the “main wraping tag” (e.g. ul, div, p) and b) the style of the entry itself.
Hello, Nice widget. I have eliminated the UL and LI as well.
But, more importantly, the formatting of the widget content is not following the CSS of the theme. For example, I had to remove the title from the code because it would display as just black text on a white bg, versus white text in a red bar as all the other widgets do.
Any Idea why this would happen?
My tags are being presented as a vertical list rather than a wrap-around cloud.
Can you explain what I am doing wrong and how to fix?
@Aaron:
I've checked your html source code and found this:
After removing the <id=...>-Tag you should be able to use the title.
@Robert:
You've got mail
Great plugin!
Any idea how I can get the capitalized entires to mix in with the lower case ones?
Anything starting with a capital letter jumps to the top of the cloud.
Otherwise wonderful
Thanks
This is a problem I never noticed before (I only use lower case for my tags). I tried to fix it, but it seems that is a problem of the PHP function ksort() wich I'm using for sorting the tags.
Sorry but currently I havn't a solution.
I've got the same problem as Robert. Help
Hi Ilden,
please try to add this to the CSS file of your theme
It should work
Cool, thanks. That little bit of CSS did the track!
CSS is realy cool
Hey. I tried to use ur TagCloud but it shows a bug:
Calling newtagcloud_output() is depricated. Please check the manual for more informations!
Could u help me with this?
You are using version 0.3 directly in your theme. The old way was to use newtagcloud_output() with some parameters. In version 0.3 you only have to call newtagcloud(). See the "Install" part in the readme for further instructions
thanks for nice widget! but why I have same size of words in tag cloud
Thanks for the great widget. I added the CSS snippet you provided for Ilden and Robert, but my Tag Cloud is still displaying as a vertical list.
I am using version 0.3 directly in my theme on version 2.3.1 of Wordpress but I get the same error as psoiree:
Calling newtagcloud_output() is depricated. Please check the manual for more informations!
I have followed the instructions to the letter.
Same Problem.. but i checked the code.
Apparently newtagcloud() calls newtagcloud_output(false). Wheter i'm confused or this call is just wrong?!
But a temporary solution:
Just rewrite function generate_newtagcloud($widget)
[here without setting $widget to true]
and then call this function with
generate_newtagcloud(false)
@Rick and Marius:
This was my fault, a little mistake. Please open newtagcloud.php and replace this from line 47
with
I fixed this bug and uploaded it to the plugin repository.
@Greg:
You have added the CSS in line 345. But in line 373 is a definition wich overwrites the CSS you have added. Try to put my CSS code at the end of the css file (and remeber to clear your browsers cache ;-).
Thanks, I had a feeling I was doing something stupid :).
The perfidies of CSS...
Hello Dennis,
I am using this plugin and it works perfect. I just want to let you know how can you make the tag cloud widget colored in Wordpress Version 2.3.1. I am using the plugin at http://www.atcape.de.
Just look under Option:
I removed all li and ul on the 2 fields above and have been wrote in the css the following lines:
If someone has a question just write.
For those ideas I added the template feature. Very greate to use the %FONTSIZE% var as part of a class name.
Thanks for your smart widget
But I got a small problem like finl. The Fontsize always remains at the same size and don't change.
My you be able to give me a hint,
Best Regard from Austria
@dada: The style-property of the a-tag is empty. Please check the field "Entry template" in the plugin settings. It should looks like this:
Or maybe you have a plugin wich "cleans up" the HTML code?
hi everybody
i'm new with wordpress and still studying it, anyway to get random color add a line in generate_newtagcloud () function
ie: $content[$term->name] = str_replace('%FONTCOLOR%', randomcolor(), $content[$term->name]);
where randomcolor() is a function to generate different color, an modify the style
like this
/*..."font-size:%FONTSIZE%%SIZETYPE%;color:%FONTCOLOR%"...*/
I would prefere the solution as described in comment 23. It's much easier and you don't have to modify the plugins PHP code.
I will need detailed instruction on the Cloud Color in comment 23.
I can´t make it work.
Thx for this plugin coding
http://www.daviddalka.com/createvalue/
bottom of right column - it's not showing up as a tag cloud for me - it does this in the theme or as a widget. Ideas?
Hello David,
take a look at comment 10. This should help you too. Please let me know
Tchuß!
I have tried to add your tag cloud as a widget, and it looks good, but when I click one of the tags, I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function UTW_ShowCurrentTagSet() in /home/bittersw/public_html/wp-content/themes/tarski-111/library/loop.php on line 137
Can you help me with that? I am kind of a n00b at WP.
Thanks!
Hello Deborah,
this is no problem of my plugin and I've never seen this message. It seems that your theme has special features for usage with a plugin named "UTW". But I'm not sure and solving it needs a little bit knowlegde of WP. I'll send you an emal too!
UTW sounds like Ultimate Tag Warrior (WP plugin), it may be conflicting...
hi!
could u tell me how to see tags on my web page?
i did all correct... but still i can see only title of widget!
where should i put tags to see them?
@ coke3grad
Please could you give more detailed instructions for your advice. I have the cloud working, but I'd like it in my theme colours. http://www.yourwish.co.nz
Thanks
Apologies, my site url is http://blog.yourwish.co.nz
Hi
I'm getting a js error when I activate the tag cloud as a sidebar widget...
Line: 34
Error: '_gat' in undefined
Any idea what is happening here?
Thanks
@Lethal: Sorry, but this can't be a problem of NewTagCloud. There is no JS.
Come's up empty for me. I've tried it on two of my blogs but no luck. What should I look at first to get it going?
1) Are you using WordPress >= 2.3?
2) Are you using the WordPress own tagging feature?
3) How do you use NewTagCloud? As widget or directly in your theme?
4) Does your server normaly shows PHP errors on the website?
Yes, same here ... tag cloud doesnt show anything to me too ... I am using WP Version 2.3.3 - only plugin I have installed is reCaptcha and this yours tag cloud
I tried both versions of adding plugin to site -> Widget and template straight option too ... no one worked for me ...
FunnyDingo, thanks for the nice plugin. It's working very well in our Wordpress 2.3.3 herb information blog . Thanks also go to coke3grad for the CSS hacks.
Cheers!
@mike and luke:
I reviewed the code but I havn't an idea why it's empty. Is PHP configured to show errors on the website? Maybe you can find an PHP error message in the webservers logfile?
I have two instances of this tag cloud installed on my template. One on the sidebar (not done through the widget) and another on a content page.
I'd like to be able to have just a certain number show up on the sidebar and all of them show up on the content page. In an attempt to do this, I've done a few different variations but none of them have worked.
This was the initial reaction, having worked with plugins before.
And another variation.
Will this option be worked into an updated version? Out of the ones I've tried, I really do like this particular script, I just wish there was a way to customize it a bit more.
I'm sorry, for some reason the code didn't properly publish:
newtagcloud("maxcount=10")newtagcloud('10')Will either option ever work?
That's a good idea for the next release. I'll work on it
Hello.
I use your plugin on my site ( thanks for great plugin : ) ) directly in the theme, its work, but all tags have same size.
I set up proper settings for the plugin - biggest tag - 18 px, smallest tag - 10 px, Font size difference - 1 .
But on the generated page I always get same style for all tags “<a style="font-size:18px"…..”
I don’t know what to do.
I have seen the same problem among the comments, but didn’t find the answer.
Can you help me ?
url of page with tag cloud http://artvisualization.com/category/uncategorized/ - its in Russian
Hello Stanislav,
I've checked out your page. I think it works fine.
At first: a tag cloud shows most used tags in bigger sizes. To work in this way, my plugin queries all tags from the database (orderd by usage count). The first tag gets the biggest font size and if the next tag has a lower usage the font size will be decreased.
The 3 tags I've seen on your page have the same occurrence (exactly one time). If you would create a second post and use only one of these 3 tags in the post, this one tag should gets a font size of 18px and the both others a font size of 17px.
All you need is explained in comment 23 from coke3grad: it's not enough to add the classes to the css file. You've to change the option "Entry template" (explained in the comment too). coke's exaple is:
For the first tag, the plugin would generate this code:
You can see: the class t18 will be used for this tag. And in class t18 you can define everything you wish.
Many thanks for the explanation!!! I have added some more tags and its works perfect.
But one more thing I need to know to be absolutely happy – in which way I can implement different colors for the tags? In comment 23 I can see a part of css code for this, but I don’t understand in which way this works.. I thing, if I will add this code to main css file – nothing will happened. CSS code define colors for classes t10, t12, but tags in tag cloud do not refer to this classes. And I don’t understand what “li and ul” I should remove…
Everything works perfect! Thank you for your answers!!! Now everithing is clear.
Hi,
My tag cloud is presenting in a vertical list, even though I have modified the CSS as you explained above. I have removed the entries in the options for HTML before and after entries to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
Sue
Hello. First of all, I would like to thank for this plugin. I just wanna ask where can I find the "New Tag Cloud Settings" page included in the screenshot? I cannot find it in my Admin panel although I can manually edit the newtagcloud.php file to change those options. Is this because my Wordpress installation is 2.5? Or is there a hidden URL in my site to configure this? My site is http://www.toxicdownloads.net.
Please disregard my previous comment. I already found the page.
A quick note just to let you that the plugin is working like a charm in WP 2.5. Thanks again.
Hi, when I updated to WP 2.5 the pathing for the tags in the tag cloud doesn't work. The path shown, for example, http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/tag/audiobooks/. I'm not sure where the tags live and how to change the pathing with the New Tag Cloud interface. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Hello. I tried installing New Tag Cloud > enabling the widget, et.al. and adding the php code to the theme, but I get nothing in the tag cloud. Only the title. I tried adding the code to the footer, to the sidebar, even to the links page - still nothing. Ideas? Suggestions? Help?
Thanks!
Hello Rob,
please post your current config (very importent is the option "Entry template").
Thanks you for sharing this widget
Hello, I am enjoying this plug-in on my wordpress site, but I'm having trouble changing the number of tags. I'd like there to be more tags, but I can't seem to get it off of 10. I've changed the html
<input type="text" name="newtagcloud-maxcount" value="" size="" />
and assumed that 30 tags would show up... I am new to HTML. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hello Leanne,
sorry, I can't follow what you've done. You have only to go to your AdminPanel and open "Settings->New Tag Cloud". In the first field you can define, how many tags should be shown.
Hi,
Firstly, thanks for a cool and much-needed plugin. Works great.
I now want to tag "pages' (instead of "posts"). But the "Tags" box does not appear in the "Write/Pages" window of WP.
Any tips on how to make it appear?
Thanks in advance,
Lakshman
Hi Lakshman,
sorry, but I never heard that WP can tag pages.
I tried two other tag cloud plugins before finding yours - neither of them allowed the reader to click the tags. I just installed yours, and it works perfectly. This will really improve navigation around the site.
Thanks very much
Flora
I'm having the same problem as Rob (no. 60) and mike and luke (41 and 43) - simply nothing appears. I'm using WordPress 2.5.1, using their own tagging feature, calling newtagcloud directly from the theme in the sidebar. I don't know where to look for the PHP errors, though, and if you want to see my current configuration and entry template, please tell me where to find them.
If you find the time to answer this, many thanks in advance.
Hello Fugitive,
can you explain, what you've done? To test the extension I added this code to the index.php of my theme:
(directly above the < ?php get_header(); ?>)
It works fine, so I've no idea, why the plugin shows nothing for you.
Hi, I have installed the extension on my sidebar (not through the Wordpress widgets) but see no results. Could you take a peek at http://www.homeschoolersgather.com/blog?
Thanks
Hello Elsa,
I checked out you blog. But I can't see a tag in the last two posts ("Testing Post" and "Test Cloud Tag"). But this could be a theme probleme. Anyway, have you set tags in this posts? If yes, could you tell me wich tags you've set?
hallo, i am trying to update the tag cloud on a blog and am not able to change the css size type in the settings for this plugin. i can change it on my local copy, but not on my organization's blog.
when i change the size from ems to pixels, it keeps going back to ems after i save my changes. am i doing something wrong? do i need to have something in the css that is set from ems to pixels in order for the change to take? i'm using wordpress 2.5.1
btw, the blog is here: blog.burningman.com
First, a quick thank you for a great plugin. It was extremely helpful and simple to use. Second, I want to pass along a bug I discovered and how I fixed it.
I thought that coke3grad's idea (See comment 23.) was a good one, so I copied the part that identified the class by font size--brilliant, by the way--and pasted it into the Entry Template field and saved it without looking closely. It seems that the quotation marks in your posts are actually slanted and not standard utf-8 quotes.
Once those weird characters were saved into the WordPress database--in the wp-options table if you're interested--the whole form and tag cloud freaks out and becomes useless. You can't undo it from from outside the database even if you deactivate and completely remove the plugin and try to put it back. I know this because I tried several times. I ended up having to deactivate the plugin, access the database directly through phpMyAdmin, and delete that record. Afterward, I reactivated the plugin, carefully filled out my desired options in the form, saved it, and now it works great for my client.
My suggestion for a future update would be to either do a whole lot of coding to try and clean up every stupid thing someone (like me) might accidentally enter into one of those form fields or just add a button to delete the record and rebuild it to defaults. Just a thought...
@Calliope:
I wonder that you are able to update the field "CSS size type", because I found a bug
Locate this statement (line 182):
You can see a typo in the first []: "sizytype" instead of "sizetype". After fixing it, everything should work.
@tdungan:
That's right. While deactivating a plugin WordPress don't removes the options automaticly. The plugin have to remove them itself.
Maybe there is a "input filter" in WordPress wich New Tag Cloud could use? I'll work on it. Thanks for this hint!
Maybe that was it. I forgot one step I did in fixing the problem. After I deleted the record from the database, I went to the SVN repository and got version 0.4 which doesn't have that typo. That's the version I'm using, so maybe that's what fixed the problem.
That's right. Maybe I should release 0.4...
It's working fine for me in WP version 2.5. I'd love to use it on a separate page as well as the sidebar, but it will only allow me to use a single preset number of tags. In other words, I can't use it to display just 10 or 20 tags on the sidebar and then create a page that displays all of the tags in a complete tag cloud.
That's not a complaint, by the way. This is a great plugin, and I appreciate the work that went into it. Thanks.
This is a great plug in
@tdungan:
That's a small problem, right. I already tought about a feature wich would allow different configurations for version 0.4... I hope to find the time to integrate it in 0.5
big up FunnyDingo for this plugin!!! it works very well!!
you should just add the possibility to change view (flat or list) and the Random option for showing the tags... I tried to modify the php file but with no results (I tried to change the DESC into RAND but I receive a SQL error...)
but maybe you already tought about it for 0.5...
big thanx again!!!
Hi iRie,
thank you for the complement
You can change the kind of view yourself. Open the configuration and change this options:
- Provide HTML code used before entries
- Provide HTML coded used after entries
- Entry template
These options (should) allow you to define any kind of view you want.
The order of the tags is a small problem. While enumerating the tags, an array is created. This array has the tag as key and the string to output as value. After creating this array, the plugin do an ksort(). This php function sorts the array by the key (=the tag name). The sorting is alphabetical BUT 'a' is smaller that 'Z'. So the order is A....Za....z. If you're mixing tags starting with capitals and tags starting with lower cases, it seems to be a random order. Version 0.5 allows to sort by usage count or by alphabetical but the alphabetical option has the order problem as now. Maybe someone has a solution for it
The sql query don't should be modified. It's set to ORDER BY count DESC. It's very important becaus the script don't verfiy the usage count.
Great plugin, thanks
Just one two-part question: what's the extended format about? And, if I want all my tags to be lowercase despite being uppercase in the DB (silly WordPress category-tag-mess that), can I do this with the extended format or do I have to wrestle the code into submission with an ugly strtolower hack?
hi guido!
u have to work on css... create a class for new tag cloud and put the command text-transformation=lowercase and it should works... have also a look to comment 23 if u want to customize every size of tags...
@ funnydingo
thank u for repling so fast!!! ... BIG UP!
ciao!
@iRie thanks loads, of course
It seems like a great widget, only not sure if its working.. no tags are comming!
How long does is take before tags start to appear?
Some help in the right direction would be great.
Cheers
nevermind, even the standard tag cloud in the widget sidebar is not working. Weird stuff :/
Are you using a plugin wich provides tag support? Since WordPress 2.3 you don't need such a plugin, because WP supports tags nativly. New Tag Cloud access these tags (in realtime).
Great widget, however, the size of the tags wouldn't change, so after taking a look at the code in "newtagcloud.php" and make few changes I manage to get it right.
The changes I made are inside the "generate_newtagcloud" function and for those interested, please find the changes below.
Sorry, but your code is not right. It would change the size for each tag, but the idea is, to decrease the size only, if the usage count for a tag is smaller than the previous one, so that tags with the same usage count have the same size.
Maybe you have the same usage count for all of your tags? In this case, all tags have the same size!
Grote danken pal !
I'm using it, thanks
This is a really good plugin
I tried Web Design Ireland's fix for this and it works for me! I'm tickled because I was having the same problem. Thanks Web Design Ireland!
Oh yeah, forgot to say GREAT plugin!
Is there a way of limiting the tags to only the tags used in a certain category?
Currently there is no way to filter tags in this way. But filter options can be a good feature for the next version.
Nice plugin !
but i'm a bit nervous whether this plugin will run on my themes :-S
Is this going to be updated for WP 2.8?
Thanks,
Gene
I had no time to test New Tag Cloud 0.5 with WP 2.8. But I'll do now and release an update ASAP (maybe in the next few minutes).
I updated my WP to 2.8 and New Tag Cloud 0.5 runs without any problems. Have you problems with New Tag Cloud 0.5 and WP 2.8?
Hi, my new tag cloud works under WP 2.8 but it doesn't show all my tags even if my limit is set higher than my number of actual tags I have in my blog ? Any ideas ?
Gary
First of all, I absolutely love your plugin. Thanks a lof for the hard work you have put in.
I have been having an odd problem that I was sondering if you could help me with.
Aall of tghe tags are appearing quite cluttered in the sidebar, and I need to add a line-height to the entries, but whatever I do, whatever I chamge ine settings, the widget does not respond.
I can even change the max size of the tags to 50px and nothing happens, its almost as if the settings are diassociated from the frontend.
Any idea of how to solve this?
Regards
@Gary: Sorry, I haven't a solution for your problem :-/
@Pedro: I've checked your HTML code and it seems, that you have used the wrong widget. WordPress has an own tag cloud widget, wich is called "Tag-Cloud", but you have to place the widget "New Tag Cloud" in your sidebar. Is my assumption correct?
Hallo FunnyDingo. Danke für das Plugin! Ich habe versucht, das Plugin so anzupassen, dass ich auf der Einstellungs-Seite auch das Header-Element (bei Dir: h2) verändern kann (ohne den Code anpassen zu müssen), da ich in der Sidebar mit h3 arbeite. Leider bin ich daran gescheitert. Vielleicht ist das für Dich ein Kinderspiel? Und eine Idee für eine neue Version?
Hello Marcel,
please see v0.6 release announcement
Works great, thank you
I love this plugin!
But still have a problem wih the size, still changing the bigsize parameter, the tags still appear starting from 18px, I suppose it should be some param on my css files, but can't find it...
Hello thabeat,
sorry, but it works correct for me. I've checked your HTML code and it seems to be ok too. Are you sure that you configure the correct instance?
Is it possible to use this plugin to only show tags from a certain category? I'm trying to add a mini-tag cloud at the top of my category archives, but I cannot find a way to get this plugin (or any other plugin) to do that.

Much is possible, but I think you can't find a plugin doing that because it requiers some SQL queries wich could take more time to execute and to render the page. But I'll check it
Is there a way to filter tags ? "ADD NEW TAGS" appears as my most popular tags in the cloud
hehehe this looks ugly !
I installed and have been using it for several weeks. Just noticed that the title tag of tag pages is the title of the first post on the tag page, which I am guessing was the last post to use the particular tag. Is there a way that each post can have a unique title?
Hello Adam,
sorry, but this isn't an issue of New Tag Cloud because the tag pages are part of WordPress and the page title is defined in the template. Please check the header.php of your theme for the title MetaTag. For me it looks like:
Maybe this helps!?
thanks, I'll check it out and let you know if when I solve it.
Is there a parameter that I can pass to the 'Entry Template' such that I could put the number of posts using each tag in parenthesis next to the %TAGNAME% parameter?
Not yet, but it's a good idea. I'll implement this feature
That would be fantastic!
Another idea would be to have a parameter that could pass the tag description.
I got the count added by inserting a new line after line 119 in the php file.
I inserted:
And after a little more playing around, here is the resulting lines 104-122 with changes to line 104 and the addition of lines 120 & 121:
well, I thought that worked quite well until I created a new filter for a new year and now it does not keep track of the count for only the new calls... I haven't looked into it much more, but to do what I want, I would have to first filter per the category and then pull out the count. The count is the only thing that is messed up.
I am trying to add the cloud tag to my sidebar. For some reason, It isnt showing up at all. I don't know why.
BTW, I am a complete Noob to this. Ive probably done it wrong

Currently there is no way to filter tags in this way. But filter options can be a good feature for the next version.
The tag filter by category would be exactly what I would need to get my year-to-date call reports to come out properly! Have you had any luck implementing that feature? Seems it would be fairly easy to only query the passed through category or categories.
I should rephrase that last question. When I try to filter out certain categories, the count (which I have added in) does not filter out only posts within the selected category for the count.
@Paul:
It seems to be OK. Can you check the web servers error log? Maybe there are some more informations?
@FayetteFD:
Your problem tag count is, that $term->count contains a value from the database representing to total count of this tag. But it's a problem for the complete plugin, because when ordering by count, I use this value too. It seems that there is now other way than that the plugin counts the usage of the tags itself.
Currently I have not much time, but started to rewrite the plugin in OO. Please give me a little bit time to finish it and I'll implement this feature.
But I don't understand your problem with the "tag filter by category"? You are able to setup different instances each showing only one category and with own tag filtering. Or how I've to understand this feature?
The filter works in terms of showing the tags that are present in the selected category. The problem that I am running into is that the count is not filtered when it is displayed. This throws off not only the count, but the sizing as well.
I just made the tag listing public on my website for you to have a look:
FayetteFD 2010 Call Tag Listing
I also have one for the 2009 call tag listing that shows the same phenomenon. I do not know if it can be corrected, but it would be awesome if it could. I don't know enough about database querying at this point to provide much help.
Thanks for responding!
@FayetteFD:
I've a new query. Your query should like this:
Replace "`$wpdb->term_taxonomy`.`count`" with
I'm not sure if it works with the current layout of the query.
For the new version only the backend part to configure the plugin is missing. I'm currently dealing with a new layout. I think I can release v0.8 in the next week. So if there are any feature request, now would be a good time
BRILLIANT! Works like a charm!!
Thank you VERY much for the support!
Looking at how everything works now that piece is in, it is GREAT!
The only thing that I might suggest further is having the links to the tags also sort by the category(categories) selected in the filter. I do not know if this is possible, but I didn't know that any of the other suggestions I have made were possible either.
Thanks again!
Well... I hate to spam comments (can't edit previous ones), but I have found a plug-in that allows you to link to a page containing all posts for a given tag and it also allows you to filter by category. Looks promising:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-tag-fixes/
I was able to accomplish this for my purposes by simply listing the href as:
http://fayettefd.org/?cat=#&tag=%TAGNAME%
This works great for me since I only have one category selected at a time. It may be worth looking into as a feature for you to have though. It would only need to be marginally extended to include additional categories.
There I go speaking too soon again... This does not work for tags with spaces.
That's right, because WordPress URLs never contain spaces. You should be able to handle this, if you add
to the SELECT part of the query and
to the other str_replace lines. Than you can modify you entry template to
I'll include %TAGSLUG% in v0.8 too.
HTH
Beautiful! Works great! Thank you!
I am not sure how this would work with multiple categories, but it works fine the way it is for me!
I think in case of multiple categories, one New Tag Cloud instance per category would be required, because the category needs to be placed in the entry template.
I think I spoke too soon with the changes. The count works in that it reports the proper count, however, the sort and font sizing no longer works...
Thank you very much for a great plugin. I set up a new blog and installed the plugin without problem. It worked really well until I tried to change the widget's title. Any changes that I made had no effect whatsoever. On my page it's still showing the old widget title. I even uninstalled and then reinstalled the plugin but my old widget title is still there. What do you think is the problem here? What should I do to get rid of the old title?
Sorry. Please ignore my question above. I figured it out: Simply adding a tag to force the widget to refresh, thus getting the title. Hope this helps others in similar situation.
The reason for this behavior is the caching feature. The current version caches the complete widget including the title field. That is a design mistake - sorry, my fault ;-). Every action wich clears the cache (e.g. updating a post) solves this problem.
In the next release this problem is fixed.
With the modifications made to the 'count', it would appear that the sizing and order are no longer functioning.
If I reset the query back to using "`$wpdb->term_taxonomy`.`count`", it will size and sort properly (given the unfiltered count), but when the count portion of the query is "COUNT(*) AS `count`", it does not sort by count nor does it properly size the font.
I added
in my sidebar.php file. Then I tried to change the font sizes in newtagcloud.php, but they do not change when the tag cloud is displayed.
What should I do?
Erm, now it changed. oO*
Sorry.
Great thing btw, this plug-in.
