<p>Tag clouds and Archives are useful for visitors, but also for search engines to find and index what topics your blog relates to. “Post Tags and Archives” makes it easy to add Tag Clouds or Archives to posts and pages via shortcodes.<br />
Before, you could only put it in the sidebar or widgets. That could hurt the search ranking for relevant terms and crowds the sidebar. So one either had to truncate the cloud and archive – or get rid of them (or use some more complicated trickery).<br />
Now you can just drop them in your posts and change the look easily via the options.</p>
<h3>Options</h3>
<p>Should be self-explanatory.</p>
<p>The advanced features: Please be careful with the HTML parts.<br />
The archive-format setting “options for dropdown-menu” is for people who want to setup forms. You have to add a proper form yourself – with select/post and all. Then this feature will add all archives (in the type you chose) as </p>
<h3>TODO</h3>
<ul>
<li>add products tag support<br />
Probably like this:<br />
$args = array(<br />
    ‘number’ => 15,<br />
    ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_tag’<br />
);<br />
return $args;Theoretically functional: from WP 1.5 (most features from: 2.5. “separator”-option from 2.9, “Tags-Order” for tags feature only from 3.5)</li>
</ul>


Post Tags and Archives

Display the Tag Cloud or the Archive directly in posts and pages, and change their look in the options.

<p>The normal WP Tag Cloud widget only uses one taxonomy at a time, and doesn’t handle the default post_tag or category taxonomies being assigned to custom post types.</p>
<p>With this plugin, you can now configure (on a per-widget basis):</p>
<ul>
<li>which taxonomies and post types are to be included,</li>
<li>the size of the smallest and largest tags (in different font units),</li>
<li>which terms should always be excluded from the cloud,</li>
<li>the maximum number of tags to show in the cloud,</li>
<li>how to order the tags – alphabetically or by number of tagged posts (ascending or descending), or just randomly,</li>
<li>how to treat tags with just one entry – leave alone, remove them or link directly to that post,</li>
<li>whether to make links no-follow,</li>
<li>what case the tags should appear as,</li>
<li>the widget background and tag background/foreground colours,</li>
<li>and how long each widget’s output should be saved for, if at all.</li>
</ul>


Combined Taxonomies Tag Cloud

A widget to make tag clouds out of multiple taxonomies, across multiple post types and control their appearance.
