    Thanks for a great plugin.

    In the current version, I like that I can use the “Post term filter” to limit the posts to include when FETCHING tags.

    I have a feature request: I suggest also using the “Post term filter” to generate URL parameters to limit the posts that are DISPLAYED when a user clicks on an item in the tag cloud.

    For example, let’s say I set “Post term filter” to “fruit (category)”. Then when a user clicks on “apple” in the tag cloud, I would like them to be sent to a URL that includes a URL parameter for that category, as follows:
    /tag/apple/?category=fruit
    If “Post term filter” includes multiple terms, they would all be included as URL parameters.

    In the current version, without the URL parameters, the URLs in the tag cloud can display posts that were excluded by the “Post term filter” option; in my opinion, this is problematic. For instance, in the above example, with “Post term filter” set to “fruit (category)”, when the user clicks on “apple” in the tag cloud, currently they are sent to the URL:
    /tag/apple/
    which could display posts tagged “apple” that are not in the category “fruit”. Adding URL parameters for the terms in the “Post term filter” would solve this problem.

    Perhaps there are problems with this feature request, but I’m not aware of any.
