Parameters
Tags or Terms
taxonomy
Restrict the tags only to these taxonomies. Available are only taxonomies that have been activated in the Settings.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
comma-separated list of taxonomy names | Taxonomies selected in the settings under “Basics”. | taxonomy=post_tag,product_tag |
smallest
Font-size in pt of the smallest tags.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
integer | 12 | smallest=12 |
largest
Font-size in pt of the largest tags.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
integer | 22 | largest=20 |
orderby
Which field to use for 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 with amount, the amount of tags is therefore determined by cutting off with “name” sorting and then sorting them with “natural”.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
string | name | orderby=natural |
order
Whether to sort the tags in ascending or descending order. Ascending order also means from oldest to newest.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
string | ASC | order=desc |
amount
Maximum amount of tags in one cloud (per group).
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
integer | 0 (unlimited) | amount=30 |
hide_empty
Whether to hide or show tags that are not assigned to any post.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
0 or 1 | 1 (hide empty) | hide_empty=1 |
threshold
Set a minimum count of published posts that use a tag for this tag to appear. Posts are counted across all groups. Please also pay attention to the value of hide_empty.
Default | Possible Values | Example |
0 | integer | threshold=2 |
tags_post_id
Display only tags that are assigned to the post (or page) with a specified ID. If the value is set to 0, the plugin will try to retrieve the current post ID. Turn it off with -1.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
integer | -1 (all tags displayed) | tags_post_id=0 |
assigned_class
A modification of the tags_post_id parameter: Rather than hiding tags that are not assigned to the post (or page), they can be styled differently. Tags will receive this class name with appended _1 or _0. (If you output the tags as an array, a new element with the key “assigned” will be true or false.)
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
string | empty (off) | assigned_class=“color-for-assigned-tag” |
separator

accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
string: “_blank”, “_self”, “_parent”, “_top”, or the name of a frame | empty (= opens in the same window, same as using _self) | link_target=“_blank” |
link_append
Append something to each tag’s link, for example a query.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
string | empty | link_append=“track=this” |
show_tag_count

Default | Possible Values | Example |
not used | string | custom_title_plural="{count} posts use {name}" |
add_premium_filter
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.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
0 or 1 | 0 (no filter) | add_premium_filter=1 |
