Tag Display lets you show WordPress tags anywhere on your site – choose from five ready-made templates or build your own from the theme folder.
<ol>
<li>Default – Tag buttons with hover effects.</li>
<li>Minimal – Comma-separated text links, no extra markup.</li>
<li>Tag Cloud – Font sizes proportional to post count.</li>
<li>Outlined – Transparent background with colored border, pill-style.</li>
<li>Hashtag – Tags prefixed with <code>#</code>, social-style.</li>
</ol>
Features: 
– Five tag templates: buttons, inline text, tag cloud, outlined pills, hashtag. 
– Native Gutenberg block with sidebar controls (no shortcode needed). 
– Shortcode support: <code>[s7n_tag_display]</code> or <code>[s7n_tag_display template="minimal"]</code>. 
– Admin settings page with live template preview and color picker. 
– Automatic or manual tag display (before or after content). 
– Tag ordering: alphabetical, by post count, or random. 
– Limit the number of tags shown and exclude specific tags by slug. 
– Post count next to each tag (e.g. WordPress (12)) – opt-in per instance or globally. 
– Support for custom taxonomies alongside WordPress tags. 
– SEO options: rel=”nofollow” and target=”_blank” for tag links. 
– Theme template override: place a custom template file in your theme folder to take over the output. 
– Smart Visibility: automatically hide, collapse, or SEO-hide tags when the count falls below a configurable threshold – improving both SEO and UX. 
– Content Density Analysis: trigger Smart Visibility based on the ratio of tags to words in the post, not just tag count. 
– Per-instance FORCE bypass: disable Smart Visibility for a single shortcode or block without touching global settings.

The best new feature in WordPress 2.3 is the integration of tagging into the core of WordPress. However, the tag cloud widget & functions that are included leaves a lot to be desired. So, with time on my hands, I decided to whip up my own version of the tag cloud that lets you configure the tag cloud with all the customizations (well, almost, see below) the tag cloud template tag allows.

<h3>NOTE</h3>
Development on this plugin has STOPPED! I am looking for someone to take it over. Find more info <a href="http://wp.me/p4xrG-7q" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>
<h3>Upgrade</h3>
I suggest using the built-in WordPress plugin update feature, but to manually upgrade, follow these instructions: 
1. Deactivate the plugin in the WordPress admin menu. 
2. Delete the existing <code>tag-cloud.php</code> file from the <code>/wp-content/plugins</code> folder. 
3. Upload the <code>tag_cloud</code> folder to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory. 
4. Activate <code>Configurable Tag Cloud</code> through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress and add the widget to your sidebar. 
5. (Optional) Add <code>ctc()</code> template tag to your theme. Can be configured either via the Options menu, or via parameters in the template tag.
