Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Configurable Tag Cloud (CTC) version 5.3 as active, updated 3y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.1.

Overview

About this plugin

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.

NOTE

Development on this plugin has STOPPED! I am looking for someone to take it over. Find more info here

Upgrade

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. 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.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
