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.

Rickard Andersson

This is the highly configurable tag cloud widget, the main features for this plugin is:
<ul>
<li>All, single author or multiple authors per cloud</li>
<li>Select which taxonomies or post types to show tags for</li>
<li>Rules for which posts to include when fetching tags</li>
<li>Inclusion/exclusion functions</li>
<li>A bunch of ordering, coloring and styling options</li>
<li>Multiple strategies for selecting terms with the option to <a href="https://github.com/rickard2/utcw/blob/master/STRATEGY.md" rel="nofollow ugc">create your own</a>. Built in strategies for most popular, random, recently added, from current list of posts</li>
<li>Short code and API for developers</li>
</ul>
The development of this plugin has stopped. I will make sure that the basic features still work with upcoming WordPress versions, but no new features or changes will be made.
The <a href="https://github.com/rickard2/utcw" rel="nofollow ugc">code is available on github</a> and if you’re in need of new features, you’re welcome to submit a pull request for it.

<h3>Theme integration / Shortcode</h3>
You can integrate the widget within your own theme even if you’re not using standard WordPress widgets. Just install and load the plugin as described and use the function
<pre><code><?php do_utcw($args); ?>
</code></pre>
…with <code>$args</code> being a array of <code>key => value</code> pairs for the options you would like to set. For example if you’d like to change the title of the widget:
<pre><code><?php
$args = array( "title" => "Most awesome title ever" );

do_utcw( $args );
</code></pre>
To use multiple configuration options just separate them with a comma:
<pre><code><?php
$args = array( "title" => "Most awesome title ever", "max" => 10 );

do_utcw( $args );
</code></pre>
If you’re not able to change your theme you can also use the shortcode <code>[utcw]</code> anywhere in your posts or pages. You can pass any of the settings along with the shortcode in the format of <code>key="value"</code>, for instance if you’d like to change the widget title:
<pre><code>[utcw title="Most awesome title ever"]
</code></pre>
The plugin also uses a couple of filters for you to be able to alter the output. These are documented in the <a href="https://github.com/rickard2/utcw/blob/master/FILTERS.md" rel="nofollow ugc">filters documentation at GitHub</a>.
As of version 2.6 you can create custom selection strategies, more information can be found in the <a href="https://github.com/rickard2/utcw/blob/master/STRATEGY.md" rel="nofollow ugc">strategy documentation at GitHub</a>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
All the configuration options can be found in the <a href="https://github.com/rickard2/utcw/blob/master/CONFIG.md" rel="nofollow ugc">configuration documentation at GitHub</a>.
<h3>Breaking changes in version 2.0</h3>
<ul>
<li>Tags lists with named tags will not work in version 2.0, only tags lists with IDs.</li>
<li>The configuration option for text case has been renamed from case to text_transform</li>
<li>The styles for links aren’t marked as <code>!important</code> in the CSS longer, this might change the cloud presentation in some cases</li>
<li>The shortcode and theme integration function call no longer accepts the widget arguments <code>before_widget</code>, <code>after_widget</code>, <code>before_title</code> and <code>after_title</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
The power of the open source community is being able to help out and submitting patches when bugs are found. I would like to thank the following contributors for submitting patches and helping out with the development:
<ul>
<li>Andreas Bogavcic</li>
<li>Fabian Reck</li>
</ul>
With your help this list will hopefully grow in the future 😉
