For example, min: 50 max: 200 unit: % would show the smallest category at half your normal text size and the largest at double.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Order by<\/strong><br \/>\nChoose between ordering by number of posts in a category, or alphabetically by category name.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Show by<\/strong><br \/>\nEither the category with the most posts first or the category with the fewest posts first if using Order by: count, or A-Z or Z-A if Order by: name.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Minimum number of posts<\/strong><br \/>\nCategories where the total number of posts is less than this number will not be shown.

Leave blank for all categories.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>Example: 1,4,9,36,37,38<br \/>\nThis will create a category cloud with only categories 1,4,9,36,37,38 in it.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Example: -1,-3<br \/>\nThis will create a category cloud hiding categories 1 and 3.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Credits<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin is based on <a href=\"http:\/\/leekelleher.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/category-cloud-widget\/\">Category Cloud widget<\/a> by Lee Kelleher<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<p>Installing the plugin:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Download Category Clouds and unzip<\/li>\n<li>Upload category_clouds folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/ directory<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the ?Plugins? menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Add the widget to your sidebar through the ?Appearance &gt; Widgets? menu<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>How to I hide empty categories?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Set the minimum number of posts to 1.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I exclude a category?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Enter its ID as a negative in the 'Comma separated category IDs' field e.g. to exlude category 5, enter -5<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I specify options when using the shortcode?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Override the following defaults:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>min_size: 50<\/li>\n<li>max_size: 150<\/li>\n<li>unit: %<\/li>\n<li>orderby: name<\/li>\n<li>order: ASC<\/li>\n<li>min_count: 1<\/li>\n<li>cats_inc_exc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Examples<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>[categoryclouds]<\/li>\n<li>[categoryclouds order=\"DESC\"]<\/li>\n<li>[categoryclouds min_size=\"8\" max_size=\"24\" unit=\"px\"]<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>2.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added [categoryclouds] shortcode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial version of the plugin<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Display selected categories as a tag cloud using a sidebar widget or shortcode.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/8551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8551"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/hughbass"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=8551"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=8551"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=8551"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=8551"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=8551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
