Description

WP Category Tag Cloud provides a configurable widget displaying a cloud of tags, categories or any other taxonomy.

The cloud elements can be displayed in different ways (see screenshots):

as a flat list separated by spaces
as a UL tag with the wp-tag-cloud class
as price tags
as rectangular tags with rounded corners
as horizontal bars
as a 3D HTML5 based tag cloud

Unlike other tag cloud plugins, WP Category Tag Cloud uses no Flash, but only HTML, JavaScript and CSS to display the cloud. This makes sure this plugin is compatible with any device with a modern browser. It also doesn't generate the HTML tags for the cloud by itself but relies on WordPress functions. This means that if you use other plugins which add filters related to tag cloud, this plugin will integrate properly with them.

You can configure:

the maximum number of taxonomy terms displayed
whether the entries in the cloud are ordered by name or post count
whether the entries are sorted in an ascending, descending or random order
how the cloud should be rendered
the zoom factor in case of a 3D HTML5 based tag cloud
the size of the smallest and largest items in the cloud (in percentage)
the font color used
the background color used for horizontal bars
the border color used for horizontal bars
whether the opacity of the tags should be modified based on the usage
whether to make links no-follow
whether to tilt the displayed terms randomly
whether to colorize the displayed terms randomly
whether the widget should be cached and for how long

You can also choose to only consider posts with specific categories (with or without children) or tags.

If you do not want to display the cloud as a side bar widget but in the content of a page or post, you can use the short code (see the frequently asked questions). You can also use a PHP function to have the cloud displayed. More details also in the frequently asked section.

Note that in version 1.3, the logic to filter displayed terms was changed:

up to version 1.2: If categories were displayed and you selected category A and B but there was a post with category B and C, category C was also displayed.
from version 1.3: If categories are displayed and you select category A and B but there was a post with category B and C, category C will NOT be displayed.
