[resolved] tag cloud for WP 2.2 (8 posts)

    I'm new to WP and very new to css. I say this because I think my problem is actually a css one.

    I've been attempting to create a tag cloud using simple tagging since i was unable to find a ready-made plugin to make one for me.

    I've got it in the sidebar right now, and the styles set for the cloud are now being attributed to the side bar (as in the links and categories).

    I would certainly appreciate some help with either de-bugging my css, or pointing me to a nice, easy cloud plugin.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    The Simple Tagging Widget produces a tag cloud if you have the Simple Tagging plugin installed.

    Thank you.

    I have just raised a statue in your honor.

    now all i have to do is figure out why my css is still funky...

    okay. hold up. i think i'm taking your statue down until further notice:

    not only is it not displaying correctly (although i'm still pretty convinced this is my css) but when you click on a tag, it doesn't display all the posts the tag refers to, just the first one.

    since, in all my previous research, it was noted that this plugin wasn't yet full compatible with WP 2.2, is this perhaps the reason?

    I use this Simple Tagging system and it works with 2.2 from all my testing. And it does have a cloud that if you click shows all the posts from that tag.

    See VistaDB Blog for an example. I am running 2.2.1 and the cloud on on the far right from the main blog page. It works great for me.

    Dont' forget to mention UTW, this plugin has host of features, if used correctly. Once such feature is Tag clouds. Check this page.

    For best of WordPress plugins, look at here.

    jason...

    i've got Simple Tagging. But I couldn't get the tag cloud to work properly, which is why the widget was suggested, which also doesn't work properly.

    it would be more helpful if you could give me a tip on actually getting the cloud to work, either with or without the widget plugin.

    i currently have the widget running, but as you will see, the styles don't work, and when you click on a tag, it will only display the first entry, not all of them.

    thanks.

    Just in case anyone out there is desperately following this topic: it has generally been resolved.

    I had a friend help me out. Turns out that simple tagging was generating items as <span> and my css was for

  9. . Quick fix by going into the "options" area of the tag settings.

    all is well. turns out i'm just a little slow on css.
