I think it would be a nice feature to suggest to the WordPress developers to somehow include a tag's age into the algorithm, or when it's been used last. But currently, that's not the case as far as I'm aware of. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285831#post-1124729 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:37:41 +0000 bigmentaldisease 1124729@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi roytanck,</p> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <p>Regular tag cloud does indeed show the same tags. </p> <p>So let's say a tag has two topics associated with it, and there are also a number of other tags associated with two topics. </p> <p>Do the tags that were added to the cloud first just stay there until another tag overtakes them? </p> <p>I guess so, as this seems to be what is happening. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285831#post-1124631 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:14:19 +0000 roytanck 1124631@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Could you try the regular tag cloud widget that comes with WP and see if it shows a different set of tags? My plugin simply uses the output from WordPress's wp_tag_cloud function, so there should be no difference, unless you're using the 'wp_tag_cloud parameters' option in the plugin to get or exclude specific tags.</p> <p>If you've used a lot of tags very frequently in the past, they'll rank higher than new ones you've only used once. I have that on my blog. The tags in my cloud hardly ever change either. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285831#post-1123362 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:08:27 +0000 bigmentaldisease 1123362@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, </p> <p>My tag cloud NEVER updates, it still has the same tags visible from the first few posts I made back in April. It seemed to update for a while but it hasn't changed for about 2 months now.</p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/Evz0M" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/Evz0M</a></p> <p>I'm using WP-Cumulus plugin but it's exactly the same result with the standard tags widget.</p> <p>It's very annoying.</p> <p>I have a second blog where the tags are working and update almost instantly.</p> <p>Does anyone have any idea as to what might be the problem?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
