We'll create fresh WordPress site with Configurable Tag Cloud (CTC) installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
The best new feature in WordPress 2.3 is the integration of tagging into the core of WordPress. However, the tag cloud widget & functions that are included leaves a lot to be desired. So, with time on my hands, I decided to whip up my own version of the tag cloud that lets you configure the tag cloud with all the customizations (well, almost, see below) the tag cloud template tag allows.
You can find the plugin home page (and leave comments) here.
Development on this plugin has STOPPED! I am looking for someone to take it over. Find more info here
I suggest using the built-in WordPress plugin update feature, but to manually upgrade, follow these instructions:
1. Deactivate the plugin in the WordPress admin menu.
2. Delete the existing tag-cloud.php
file from the /wp-content/plugins
folder.
3. Upload the tag_cloud
folder to the /wp-content/plugins/
directory.
4. Activate Configurable Tag Cloud
through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress and add the widget to your sidebar.
5. (Optional) Add ctc()
template tag to your theme. Can be configured either via the Options menu, or via parameters in the template tag.
