Author Tag Cloud

This plugin will create a tag cloud for a specific author. This will allow a visitor on your site to drill deep down into an author’s specific content.

It uses all of the same parameters as wp_tag_cloud(), but adds an additional one for the author_id. When the author_id is passed an integer of a published author that has tagged his or her posts, a tag cloud will be generated.

It will also create a new permalink structure on your site of

www.yoursite.com/author/author-slug/tag/tag-slug

***Note: that you must be using any custom permalink structure for this plugin to function. Also, custom taxonomies is currently not functioning with this version, please look forward for this in a later version.

Before you install this plugin, the site you are planning to use it on must use a custom permalink structure. This plugin will not function on the standard WordPress install and use it you must change your permalink settings.

1. Download and upload these files into /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. In the WordPress Admin goto plugins and activate this plugin
3. class the function like this

(function_exists(‘author_tag_cloud’)){
author_tag_cloud( array(‘author_id’ => 1) );
}
