Block Options
The following options appear in the editor side panel after you selected a block.
Tags and Terms
Included taxonomies
Restrict the tags only to these taxonomies (“tag types”). Available are only taxonomies that have been activated in the Tag Groups Settings.
Smallest font size
Font-size in pt of the smallest tags.
Largest font size
Font-size in pt of the largest tags.
Tags per group
Maximum amount of tags in one cloud (per group). Pull the slider to zero to show an unlimited number.
Order tags by
Which field to use for sorting the tags.
Note on using “Natural Sorting”: Since WordPress doesn’t natively offer natural sort order, we have to first order them by name and then by natural sort order. If you limit the number of tags, the amount of tags is therefore determined by cutting off with “name” sorting and then sorting them with “natural”.
Note on random order: The order only changes when all object and page caches refresh.
Sort order
Whether to sort the tags in ascending or descending order. Ascending order also means from oldest to newest.
Hide unused tags
Whether to hide or show tags that are not used by any post.
Minimum post count for tags to appear
Set a minimum count of published posts that use a tag for this tag to appear. Posts are counted across all groups.
Separator
A separator between the tags.
Adjust separator size to following tag
Disable if you want to set a fixed size.
Separator size
The size of the separator, if not automatically adjusted to the size of the following tag.
Prepend
Prepend to each tag label. Can obtain the placeholder {count} that will be replaced with the post count for that tag.
Append
Append to each tag label. Can obtain the placeholder {count} that will be replaced with the post count for that tag.
Show post count in the tooltip
Whether to show the number of posts as tooltip (behind the tag description) when hovering the mouse over the tag.
Custom title for post count = 0
The custom title can be configured separately for tags that have a post count of zero. You can use the placeholders {count} to insert the post count, {description} for the tag description and {name} for the tag name.
Custom title for post count =1
Tooltip text when hovering the mouse over the tag. You can use the placeholders {count} to insert the post count, {description} for the tag description and {name} for the tag name.
Custom title for post count >1
The custom title can be configured separately for tags that have a post count > 1 so that you can use here plural in your text. You can use the placeholders {count} to insert the post count, {description} for the tag description and {name} for the tag name.
Append to the link
Append something to each tag’s link, for example a query.
Link Target
Set the “target” attribute for the links of the tags. Possible values are:
- _blank: open in a new tab/window
- _self: open in the same frame
- _parent: open in the parent frame
- _top: open in the full tab/window of this frame
In the shortcode you can also set the name of a frame.
Add filter to tags for multiple groups
When you use the premium plugin, additional query parameters in the links make sure that we can distinguish between the same tag that is used in different groups. If the resulting posts are not complete and troubleshooting doesn’t help, you can disable it here.
Use tags of the following post
Display only tags that are assigned to the post (or page) with a specified ID. If you need this option, you mostly want to “use this post”. The menu offers also some recent posts by title.
Alphabet and Tabs
Delay the display of the tabs until they are fully rendered
By default the tabs are only revealed after they are fully rendered. That way your visitors don’t see the raw structure with all tags listed below each other before the software is able to kick in. If you use this feature in an unusual position or experience issues, you can disable it here.
Include letters
Which letters should be used for the tabs.
Exclude letters
Which letters should be excluded from the tabs.
Open tabs on mouseover
Whether tabs can be selected by hovering over with the mouse pointer (without clicking).
Make panels collapsible
Whether tabs are collapsible (toggle open/close).
Start with expanded tabs
Whether tabs are initially expanded or collapsed. Useful when you make tabs collapsible.
Groups
Include groups
Use only tags of specified groups.
Advanced Styling
You can set here IDs and classes to be referred to in CSS. You need some knowledge of CSS to use these options.
div id
Define an ID for the enclosing <div>.
- If you display more than one tag cloud on the same page, each shortcode needs a different value. The safest solution is to leave it empty so that div_id automatically receives a random value.
- Avoid words that are used by WordPress such as “content” or “main”. Each ID must be unique for the entire page.
div class
Define a class for the enclosing <div>.
ul class
Define a class for the <ul> that generates the tabs with the group labels.
