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

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.

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

Does exactly what I want it to do. A little customisation would be great for the next iteration.
