    I’m also unable to backup to Dropbox, and I’ve tried on a number of different servers:

    [ERROR] DropBox API: (100) Invalid response.

    I got this working with a little outside help, so for an future bloggers who want to display tags in a jump menu rather than the default tag cloud, here is the code:

    echo "<select name='tag-dropdown' onChange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>

<option value=''>";

echo attribute_escape(__('Select a Tag'));

echo "</option>";

$posttags = get_terms('post_tag');

if ($posttags) {

 foreach($posttags as $tag) {

  echo "<option value='";

  echo get_tag_link($tag);

  echo "'>";

  echo $tag->name;

  echo "</option>";

 }
 echo "</select>

    That’s AWESOME, Pinoy.ca, thanks a lot. Now I see what you were getting at.

    The really interesting thing is that it generates a jump menu that’s completely blank on the inside–it opens up to about the length that it should be given the number of tags that I have, but there’s no text inside, and any time you select one of the blank spaces in the jump menu you get a 404 error because it’s calling up the following url: “(mysiteaddress)/tags/” but no actual tag name.

    Any idea why?

    If I understand your code, you’re creating an array and calling it $posttags, and calling each individual value in the array $tag, and then trying to get the $tag URL and name… that’s the part that doesn’t seem to be working.

    Sorry, Pinoy.ca–I really appreciate your help, but I’m way too dense to understand these nuggets you’re giving me. I’ve been researching arrays trying to figure out how I can use it once I have it (from telling wp_tag_cloud to generate one).

    I’m a total n00b. 🙂

    Thank you, Pinoy.ca. I’m a bit confused–according to your link, “get_the_tags” can only be used within the loop, and I’m trying to apply this to my sidebar.

    I should mention, I’m pretty new to PHP, but I’ve been able to fake my way through WordPress templates.
