<p>Creates a function that can be placed in a wordpress template for a category cloud that exists without the requirement of widgets or a widget ready theme.</p>
<p>I created this plugin after I started using a single column theme that is not widget ready.  I found that there were multiple plugin widgets available, but no plugin that would allow me to just place a php function into my theme to display a category cloud.</p>
<p>Some ideas for oter uses of this plugin:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install WP-Sticky and Exec-PHP.  Create a Sticky post which will stay at the top of your page and type the php code for this plugin in the post.  Now you have a Category Cloud that stays at the top of your page.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ol>
<li>WordPress 2.x</li>
<li>Web server that supports PHP</li>
</ol>
<h3>Upgrade</h3>
<ol>
<li>Deactivate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
<li>Delete the previous <code>no-widget-category-cloud</code> folder from the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Upload the new <code>no-widget-category-cloud</code> folder to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
</ol>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<pre><code><?php nw_catcloud(small_size,big_size,size_unit,align,orderby,order,min_posts,hide_empty,title); ?>

small_size = font size, integer (default 75)
big_size = font size, integer (default 200)
size_unit = %, px, pt (default %)
align = left, right, center, justify (default left)
orderby = count, name (default name)
order = asc, desc (default asc)
min_posts = minimum number of posts, integer (default 1)
hide_empty = 0,1 (default 1, 1=yes,0=no)
title = string (This can contain HTML to format the title) 
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li>Open the theme files, in your favorite editor, that you wish to add the category cloud to (index.php, single.php, page.php, etc…).</li>
<li>Add a line that looks like above.  You can also use the defaults by not specifiying anything between the parentheses. See example 2 below.</li>
<li>Enjoy.</li>
<li>As I mentioned in the description you can also use this plugin with Exec-PHP and it would make a nice combo with WP-Sticky.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<ol>
<li><code><?php nw_catcloud(75,200,'%','left','name','asc',1,1,'<h2 class="posttitle" style="margin-bottom:0px;">Categories</h2>'); ?></code></li>
<li><code><?php nw_catcloud(); ?></code></li>
</ol>
<h3>To Do</h3>
<ol>
<li>I am open to suggestions.</li>
<li>I am sure I will think of something.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Credit</h3>
<p>I’ve got to give credit where credit is due.  And that credit goes to Lee Kelleher and his Category Cloud Widget.  I used a lot of his code in this plugin modifying it where needed to make it work the way I wanted.</p>

<p>Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced) introduces a “Classic Paragraph” block for the block editor (Gutenberg).<br />
If you are not quite ready to switch to the block editor, or have plugins that cannot be used there (yet), using the Classic Paragraph block is your best option. It lets you to continue to use the familiar TinyMCE editor for most tasks, and at the same time gives you full access to all blocks and new features in the block editor.</p>
<p>Version 5.5 continues to improve and enhance the new features introduced in version 5.0 of the plugin. It includes an improved “Clear Formatting” button, several advanced settings for tables, and importing and exporting of the settings to a file.</p>
<p>If you want to continue to use the previous (“classic”) editor in WordPress 5.0 and newer, this plugin has an option to replace the new editor with the previous one. If you prefer to have access to both editors side by side or to allow your users to switch editors, it would be better to install the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/" rel="ugc">Classic Editor plugin</a>. Advanced Editor Tools is fully compatible with the classic editor plugin and similar plugins that restore use of the previous WordPress editor.</p>
<p>As always this plugin will let you add, remove and arrange the buttons that are shown on the Visual Editor toolbar in the Classic Paragraph and Classic blocks in the block editor, and in the classic editor (when enabled by a plugin). There you can configure up to four rows of buttons including Font Sizes, Font Family, text and background colors, tables, etc.</p>
<p>It includes 15 plugins for <a href="https://www.tiny.cloud/" rel="nofollow ugc">TinyMCE</a> that are automatically enabled or disabled depending on the buttons you have chosen.<br />
In addition this plugin adds options for keeping the paragraph tags in text mode and importing the CSS classes from the theme’s editor-style.css.</p>
<h4>Some of the features added by this plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li>“Classic Paragraph” block that can be used instead of or together with the standard Paragraph block.</li>
<li>An option to set the Classic Paragraph or Classic block as the default block in the block editor.</li>
<li>Supports converting of most default blocks to classic paragraphs, and from classic paragraphs back to the default blocks.</li>
<li>Support for creating and editing tables in the Classic blocks and the classic editor.</li>
<li>More options when inserting lists in the Classic blocks and the classic editor.</li>
<li>Search and Replace in the Classic blocks and the classic editor.</li>
<li>Ability to set Font Family and Font Sizes in the Classic blocks and the classic editor.</li>
<li>And many others.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>Advanced Editor Tools does not collect or store any user related data. It does not set cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party websites. It only uses functionality that is available in <a href="https://wordpress.org/" rel="ugc">WordPress</a>, and in the <a href="https://tinymce.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">TinyMCE editor</a>.</p>
<p>In that terms Advanced Editor Tools does not affect your website’s user privacy in any way.</p>


Advanced Editor Tools

This plugin is very helpful to me. Please update more feature can add custom shortcode.
Thank you very much. 

This plugin is very helpful to me.


Hey! So I only see one plugin here - Advanced Editor Tools (formerly TinyMCE Advanced). It's pretty solid if you're not ready to fully embrace Gutenberg yet. The "Classic Paragraph" block is clever - lets you use the old familiar editor within the new one. Great for folks transitioning or with older plugins that don't play nice with blocks. The table tools and formatting options are handy too. Worth a try if you miss the classic editor!

Extends and enhances the block editor (Gutenberg) and the classic editor (TinyMCE).
