Brilliant plug-in, thankyou so much for this. I was beginning to tear my hair out until I found this, now I will be able to use your plug-in to show tags for a recipe archive!

Thanks for the nice plugin! I have the options set to show the number of posts using each tag — also option set to show each tag that has at least one post. However, the tags which have just one post aren’t showing in the list of tags. Might you have a suggestion for me to get it working? Thanks.

Edit: Please disregard my last comment. I figured out how to do it by setting the number to 0 instead of 1 — as far as how many times the tag must be used before the tag is shown. Thanks.

The “Simply Show IDs” plugin. Perfect! Thank you!

Hm, no, I don’t think the plugin can do that.

Hi Esben, you should be able to override the tag size with your own CSS. Something like .widget_nktagcloud a { font-size: 12px } (not tested)

I think the easiest way is the simply show ids plugin. You can change the number of listed tags on the tags page by clicking on “Screen options”.

Just one more question: Is it possible to disable the links for the tags in the cloud on this particular page, without it affecting tag clouds on other pages?

Hello Nicolas

Just downloaded this great plugin to use on my resumé/CV page. I am using it in conjunction with simple tags, which lets me add tags to pages.
That way I am able to markup my skills so they count as tags on that page and create a tagcloud listing my skills.

In order to do this I am using the shortcode [nktagcloud single=yes], which correctly displays the tags from the page – BUT the tag “CSS” is bigger than the other tags because in one of my blog posts I have also used this tag.

So my problem is: using [nktagcloud single=yes] correctly displays only the tags from the current page/post – but if the tag from the page is used somewhere else on the site, it will count as well. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks again for a great plugin.

Hi Nicolas. Love the plugin, and thanks for your previous reply (above). I’m wondering — is there a convenient way to get a clean listing of all tags/categories along with their ID numbers, so that you don’t have to hover over each edit link one at a time?
