SEO Tag Cloud Widget
I notice the tags are not nofollow. Could you add an option for this?
I don’t see the use of nofollow in a plugin that’s called “SEO” tag cloud. If you don’t want to give PR to the tag pages, then you can use the built in, non SEO-friendly tag cloud.
Is there a way to change the font of the tag ?
you can set it via css
Do you have a recent update for your Cloud for WP 3.0.1? Will work with this latest version? Please advise. Thanks
yes it works with 3.0
I just activated the tag cloud and added it to the side menu, but it doesn’t show anything yet. Does it take time or is there more I am supposed to do.
do you have tags on your posts?
Gavriel, this looks neat. Is the size of the tag based on relevance or popularity?
Tag cloud is popularity based, since the cloud is computed blog-wise and not article-wise.
Can this plugin allow me to use my favourite tagging plug-in while it do the SEO for me?.My users tend to be used to my tag cloud style.
You can use any plugin for the tagging as long as it saves the tags to the DB the same way wordpress does. If you want the exact same look that you have now, you can easily translate the css from
.tagcloudlink.level3{YOUR STYLE}to.seo-tag-cloud em em em{YOUR STYLE}. Of course you need to do it for all levels.Thanks a lot for the quick reply,that has solved my problem,tweaking the css.
Hi, I’m kind of new at this and just installed the plug-in. What does it mean when it asks “Target for links”???
Thanks.
if you want the links to open in a new window you can put “_blank” there (without the doublequotes)
Hi:
I use your plug in, but wanted to know where do I change the colors at? I’m not very CSS savvy and don’t want to go into the editor until I know exactly where to go and do stuff.
Thanks
Add the plugin, activate it, then go to your blog and view source and search for
.seo-tag-cloud {in the CSS area. On basis what you’ll see there you can change the colors either by adding those rules to your theme’s css (recommended) or by editing it in seo-tag-cloud.php (but then you’ll lose the changes when you upgrade the plugin)Hi Gavriel,
Is there a way to change the font of the tag cloud to a different type face?
Thanks!
Yes, you can easily change the style using css.
.seo-tag-cloud a {font-family: Arial;}Hey I just started my blog I have two post, added the Seo tag cloud, activated it, added to my sidebar, the heading shows. But no words are being put into the sidebar any ideas?
Did you add tags to your posts?
