Title: TagCloud not working? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # TagCloud not working? * [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/) * What am I doing wrong? I want to show only the tags for a single gallery. I’m using the shortcode from the site but it pulls all tags for all galleries no matter what ID I use. * Here is the code that I’m using. My assumption is that it should show **only** gallery 2 tags. `[ngg_images gallery_ids="2" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_tagcloud"]` * From this link it shows ALL tags instead: [http://www.katiespix.com/family/photo-album/bradley-family/bradley-tags/](http://www.katiespix.com/family/photo-album/bradley-family/bradley-tags/) * The **1904** tag is only in gallery 1. The **Permelia** tag is only in gallery 2. The **Myers** tag is only in gallery 3. The **Glenna** tag is only in gallery 4. The **Roxie** tag is only in gallery 5. * Also, the thumbnails are not following the CSS. It is picking up the shadow but it still has a white border and portrait thumbnails are not cropped to match the landscape thumbs. * I am using the newest version of NGG. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * [tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) * (@tizz) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4844997) * [@nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) I’ve just tried in a site of mine and I don’t have your issue: using that same shortcode in a page only the tags for that gallery are visible. The CSS issues are strange too, but I think these are brought by your modification or by your theme, and I suppose you have some theme/plugins conflicts also in relation to the other problem. You have opened another topic about this issue, but you’ve never given any of the requested information, in particular: _– Does this error still occur if you switch your theme to a WordPress Twenty series theme and deactivate all plugins except NextGEN Gallery? (please be sure to clear your browser cache and reload your site after deactivating)_ * As for the white border, it’s not a border but is a 4px padding, so you can remove it `.ngg-gallery-thumbnail img {padding:0;}` Alternatively, you can remove that _box-shadow_ from .ngg-gallery-thumbnail img, .ngg-thumbnail img * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845025) * Just went through and disabled all the plugins one at a time, then all together. Nothing changed at all. I also did the same with the default theme. * As far as the CSS having issues, I agree. If you look at the other galleries you will see that the padding is gone and there is a shadow also, the portrait versus landscape issue in not on the other galleries. I do not want a padding but I do want the shadow. What the other galleries look like is what I want. * Here is my custom CSS within NGG. Also note that I’m not using a custom CSS for anything else nor a tag plugin. I also tried to use your code above as well and it made no difference. * ``` .ngg-albumtitle { text-align: left; font-weight: bold; margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; } /* Thumbnails */ .ngg-gallery-thumbnail img, .ngg-thumbnail img { background: none !important; border: none !important; padding: 0px; webkit-box-shadow: #787878 5px 5px 5px;-moz-box-shadow: #787878 5px 5px 5px; box-shadow: #787878 5px 5px 5px; } .ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box { float:left; margin-bottom:20px; Margin-right: 15px; } ``` * [tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) * (@tizz) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845060) * In regard to the tag cloud you’re right, it was my mistake not realizing that there I have tags only in one gallery, sorry. Indeed, I always thought that the use of tags in the shortcode was mostly aimed to show the related images, not the contrary, so at first I was surprised myself when I saw that the shortcode as it is gave me the results of that particular gallery. The NextGEN tags system is definitely to be improved (that’s an inheritance of the NextGen legacy), especially considering that that shortcode is official. E.g., another anomaly I’ve noticed is that the page dynamically created to display the tag results does not print the title tag in the tab (only the site name), whether it is defined or not in the specific “picture tag” field by SEO Yoast plugin (but the latter has nothing to do with your problem, sorry for the intrusion). * As for CSS, I forgot to tell you to add the ! important parameter. `.ngg-gallery- thumbnail img {padding:0 !important;}` * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845093) * So am I understanding you correctly to say that the tag cloud is possibly buggy? * The only reason I’m using the tag cloud is because searching the images is not available with NextGen…yet. Plus, I kinda like the ability to see all the tagged images because how else would you know what to search for in my case. * I finally got the CSS to work but I’m still struggling with the portrait versus landscape issue. It doesn’t do this in the other galleries just the same as it didn’t do the padding either. * Thanks for your help so far with this. * [tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) * (@tizz) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845106) * I don’t know if it’s buggy or simply not fully developed. You’ll have to find another way to get what you want. E.g., you say that you want to see all the tagged images – you can do this putting in a page a tag cloud with all of the tags, and then putting this page in a menu, or you can choose to display at a given point or page only the tags that you are interested in. Or try [this](http://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery-search-galleries/) plugin. As for “portrait versus landscape issue”, I didn’t notice it, so please post a link from your galleries as example. * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845109) * I’ve tried that plugin and it does work but only for me as an admin. I would like for visitors to be able to either search or view the tags. Of course I could put all tags on a single page but what I run into is that I do not want some of the tags/galleries to be shown. * Here is a link to the tag “Best” where you can see the portrait versus landscape issue. [http://www.katiespix.com/family/photo-album/bradley-family/bradley-tags/nggallery/tags/best](http://www.katiespix.com/family/photo-album/bradley-family/bradley-tags/nggallery/tags/best) * [tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) * (@tizz) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845119) * I remind you that if you want to display a tag cloud with only certain tags you can choose them via ATP function in the panel from “what would you like to display”– I’m not sure if this is what you want to accomplish and unfortunately it is to be done by hand, but in the end it’s way closer to get what you want. As for thumbs dimensions, are you sure that via ATP “in customize the display settings” have you setted Yes on “thumbnail crop” at a customized size? * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845120) * I did not use the ATP because I only want to show a single galleries tags and the ATP is very limited with the tag functionality. I’m using the shortcode to try to pull the single gallery. I’ve also tried the shortcodes with exceptions with no luck. I suppose until the tag cloud is fully worked on I’ll be forced to do as you suggested, write each tag per album using the ATP. Ugh! Luckily at the moment, I only have 5 galleries, one only having one or two tags. I could not imagine someone that has 20 or more and would like to do this same thing. * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845122) * Just realized that this is not going to work either. It’s closer, but not what I’m after. If multiple galleries have the same tag, it’s going to pull those tags regardless of the gallery. * [tizz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tizz/) * (@tizz) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845123) * Well, the difference is more in the number of tags that you want to extract for each page, more than for the number of galleries, because at the time that you publish a gallery the effort spent it’s the same as for publish a tag cloud. I can understand if for each tag cloud you have to choose tens of tags. * Edit * > If multiple galleries have the same tag, it’s going to pull those tags regardless > of the gallery. * That’s how tags works. The WordPress tag cloud works differently? No, the archive page of a tag display _every post_ that contain that tag. If I may say, why don’t you make a gallery for every single family? Or, why don’t you assign the same tag to the images that you want to go out together? * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845125) * I’ve got 440 images in one gallery (Best family). So in order for only that gallery to be posted using the tags, I had to go through and grab each unique tag. This didn’t take too long to do since several were the same but, the tags are not unique to the galleries. Obviously the same tag will be used in other galleries. So if I wanted to see all of my Best family named James I couldn’t do this if in the Myers family a person was named James as well. * > …make a gallery for every single family? * They are already in a gallery per family. Best, Bradley, Myers, etc. That is why I wanted only those tags in each gallery to be shown per gallery/page. All the Best family tags on one page, all the Bradley family tags on another page, etc. * > …assign the same tag to the images that you want to go out together? * I don’t understand how this would help. Wouldn’t it be the same as a gallery? So in the Best Family gallery I should assign a unique tag, for example, “Best Family”. Then use the tag cloud to post “Best Family” on a single page. This would only pull a tag called Best Family therefore pulling all of the Best Family gallery images. * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845175) * Any new news? I’m still having issues with this and the thumbnails. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845180) * [@nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) – When using tags as the source of your image gallery display you need to use the `tag_ids` parameter not the `gallery_ids` parameter; “tags” are used to pull images from any gallery with that tag. There is no gallery restriction available when using tags at this time. * – Cais. * Thread Starter [nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) * (@nppbc) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845181) * What about the reason why some thumbs are showing in portrait and others are landscape? * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tagcloud-not-working-2/#post-4845182) * [@nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/) – Since you are using a shortcode structure you do not have the means to over-ride the thumbnails. They are being pulled in as in from the galleries the images are in. * Whereas using an ATP insertion of a similarly configured gallery you would be able to over-ride the thumbnails and put them into a more consistent size / aspect ratio. * – Cais.
