EBarneyI want to create a tag cloud that I can sort by slug (I don't mind doing some coding to make that happen) and I also want to exclude certain tags, but I want to do that from the widget settings (I need others to be able to exlude more without doing any coding).
The built in tag cloud doesn't allow either option. I've found a few tag cloud plugins that have exclude settings and got one of them to work for me. The one I'm currently using also allows me to change the sort order, but only between by count and by name.
Is there a way to redirect a name sort to a slug sort? I'm not terribly familiar with this kind of coding, but I'm willing to experiment if I can get some pointers in the right direction.
Here are the previous posts I've looked at (not sure how to combine them to get what I need):
- get name from slug (within the loop)
- retrieving link from slug
- unanswered question like mine: how to sort by slugs
I'm running 3.0.1 for this site. The plugin I'm currently using is Random Tags Cloud Widget, though I also tried to use Ultimate Tag Cloud Widget (currently troubleshooting issues with it here)
