Hi, Thanks for your work on the seo tag cloud plugin for wordpress. It looks great! I am completely new to website design and I was wondering how I can go about changing the width and height of the widget. I am using the ball format and I would like to decrease the area the widget covers. Thanks!
There’s no easy way at the moment, however you can play with the “scale” parameter in line 215 of seo-tag-cloud.php
I’ve noticed this widget isn’t offered anymore on wordpress,have you stopped support?
because i’ve had to take it down from my site due to it glitching badly,real shame cause i liked it very much
Thanks for noticing me. I din’t know, wordpress forgot to notice me they closed the widget, I’m trying to get it back now.
We’re using the SEO Tag Cloud Widget for my company’s blog. I’ve been able to format the text for the widget using our site’s main CSS page (not on WordPress). It looks fine on every browser except Chrome. I have some understanding of using browser-specific css pages, but I’m not not familiar with how this works with WordPress or WordPress Widgets. Is it possible to connect browser specific CSS pages to WordPress cloud-tag widgets? For the record, another designer and developer built this site but they are not available to help with this. Please let me know, thanks!
Thanks for reporting the problem. I checked it, and indeed there’s a problem on Chrome. I’m working on it right now.
How can I add the tag words i want? right now my “cloud” is pulling only from my 3 categories and that is not enough. Where can I type in more key words?
Thanks!
when you edit the post, you should see a box (by default under Categories) that is Tags. There you add tags.
The fonts are increasing in sizes and are quite oversize. I have another site but it’s working fine just there for the same version.
I’m aware of a bug, where in Chrome the fonts are too big. Is that what you saw?
Just updated the plugin…
WOW… could the tag cloud be any uglier than it is with all the colors…
I don’t like a plugin that doesn’t “fit” the color scheme of my site…
Most people don’t…
Off to find another tag cloud plugin that doesn’t have “colors” or at the very least allows me to select a default color…
I can’t guess the colors that match each and every blog in the world… You can customize the colors of course. Read back here in the comments, you’ll see examples.
how can i have only one color for all the links?
.seo-tag-cloud a{color:#f00!important}
how can i have only one color for all links in Tag cloud?
you can override the color for example by this:
.seo-tag-cloud a {color: #f00!important}
I have installed plugin but i do not see having many colors as you are having. how have you added many colors ?
You need to add something like this to your stylesheet:
.seo-tag-cloud em em a {color:blue;}
.seo-tag-cloud em em em em a {color:green;}
.seo-tag-cloud em em em em em em a {color:red;}
But for 1 to 10 “em”-s, each with a different color.
Or you can try my new Randomize CSS plugin that integrates easily with SEO Tag Cloud.
tag loud does not appear , why?
I see Authors widget on your blog, maybe that’s what you installed?
Or you forgot to add seo tag cloud to the side-menu?
