<p>Creates dropdown lists of non-hierarchical taxonomies (such as <code>post tags</code>) as an alternative to term (tag) clouds. Multiple widgets can be used, each with its own set of options.</p>
<p>Numerous formatting options are provided, including maximum numbers of terms, term order, truncating of term names, and more.</p>
<p>Using the <code>taxonomy_dropdown_widget()</code> function, users can generate dropdowns for use outside of the included widget.</p>
<p><strong>Only use version 2.2 or higher with WordPress 4.2 and later releases.</strong> WordPress 4.2 changed how taxonomy information is stored in the database, which directly impacts this plugin’s include/exclude term functionality.</p>
<p>This plugin was formerly known as the <code>Tag Dropdown Widget</code>. It was completely rewritten for version 2.0.</p>

<h3>Why Organize Terms Into Groups?</h3>
<p>Most WordPress sites mix up terms into one big messy group. In most cases, terms should actually be separated by topics: places, people, features, years and more.</p>
<p>Your term however, will become much more useful if you organize them in groups. Imagine a tag cloud where all places appear in a “Places” group, all names under “Names” and all years under “Years”. The Tag Groups plugin lets you do exactly that.</p>
<p>The plugin gives you many term displays. You can also customize them, append or prepend something to each tag. You can add separators, choose the link target, set the smallest and the largest font size, display the post count and much more.</p>
<h3>Does Tag Groups Only Work With Tags?</h3>
<p>No. Tag Groups works also great with most other (flat) taxonomies, such as WooCommerce product tags.</p>
<p>The plugin does not support hierarchical taxonomies like categories.</p>
<h3>Does Tag Groups Work with Multilingual Websites?</h3>
<p>Yes, this plugin is officially compatible with <strong>WPML</strong>, the WordPress Multilingual plugin. This means you can use a different tag group name for each language.</p>
