 * The main reason for stopping the development is because the current feature set
   has been troublesome to maintain. As you’ve witnessed there’s a lot of features
   that needs to work together, and every change requires lots and lots of testing
   to make sure that everything still works.
 * This means that the effort to add new features is just too big for me to be able
   to continue working on it. My current focus is on other things than WordPress
   and I don’t feel that I have the time required to continue working on it.
 * That said, I’m happy to release new versions if someone wants to continue fixing
   bugs or adding features. The plugin is available on [github](https://github.com/rickard2/utcw)
   and I’m happy to accept pull requests as long as they’re adequately tested.
 * Hope this brings some clarity into the decision to not continue working on this
   project.

 * I’ve reverted the change which broke selection strategies now, see if that resolves
   the issue.
 * I’ve also decided to not continue working on the plugin, so there shouldn’t be
   any new features breaking things for you in the future.

 * Just looked closer at this now, you should be able to translate the strings passed
   to `_n()` here:
 *     ```
       $title = _n($term_title_singular, $term_title_plural, $term->count);
       ```
   
 * However domain is missing so I will add that there instead of your suggested 
   solution.

 * (@exz)
 * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpml-issue/#post-4784076)
 * I’ve been able to figure out what the issue is now. The problem is with the setting
   for max number of terms to display and that the WPML integration kind of assumes
   that every term will be translated.
 * This is basically what the plugin does:
 * 1. Get the 45 most popular terms from the database
    2. Check which of those 45
   are translated 3. Display the result
 * If none of the 45 most used terms are translated into the current language, the
   result will be an empty cloud.
 * To fix this issue directly, just set the max number of tags to something really
   high, or set it to zero for unlimited.
 * I will fix this in the next version of UTCW. Thank you for your help with debugging
   this issue. You can remove my user account now.

 * Not really, that looks like the right way to do it. You could pass `debug => 
   true` to get a HTML comment with lots of debugging information. You should see
   which SQL query is being executed and also which taxonomies are allowed.

 * There’s been some issues with WPML in the past but I’ve never been able to figure
   out what the cause is, since it has been working in my installation
 * I would be glad to take a look in your installation, please send credentials

 * That sounds strange, could you please make sure that the selection strategy is
   set to popularity?
 * Otherwise, please enable debugging and send me a link to your site and I’ll have
   a closer look.

 * I would suggest that you add another CSS file to overwrite the plugin and themes
   CSS. Or use a plugin for that. Changing the code of my plugin is not a good idea
   since any changes would be lost when upgrading.
 * The CSS rule should look something like this:
 *     ```
       ul.sidebar-tabs li a, .warea ul.sidebar-tabs li a {
          color: #c10077;
       }
       ```
   
 * If that doesn’t work, try adding `!important` after the color:
 * `color: #c10077 !important;`
