How to Change the Design of Accordions and Tabbed Tag Clouds

The Tag Groups plugin allows you to organize your WordPress taxonomy terms and show them in clouds, tabs, accordions, tables, lists and much more.

The plugin offers many ways to customize the display of your taxonomy terms. For example, you can create custom color schemes for your terms.

The Tag Groups plugin has also options for designing the larger displays that come with the plugin. For example, you can create unique designs for the Alphabetical Tag Cloud, Tabbed Tag Cloud and the Accordion Tag Cloud layouts.


The Default Display for Accordions and Tabs

Let’s see an example with the Tabbed Tag Cloud. This allows you to display a tag cloud with your groups organized into tabs. The Free version of the Tag Groups plugin provides one theme called “Delta” for your tabbed layouts. You can see a preview of “Delta” in this screenshot below:


How to Change the Theme

The Pro version of the Tag Groups plugin provides more themes, plus the ability to create your own themes. To change the theme, go to “Tag Groups” in your WordPress admin menu, then “Front End” and “Themes and Appearance”.

Please note: Your choice of theme will automatically apply to all the Tabbed Tag Cloud and Accordion Tag Cloud displays on your site. These themes can’t be applied to individual displays.
