you’ll need to add following code to your current themes functions.php file.
<?php
function cxc_tag_cloud() {
$tags = get_tags();
if( $tags ){
foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
$tag_link = get_tag_link( $tag->term_id );
$tag->link = $tag_link;
}
}
$args = array(
'smallest' => 10,
'largest' => 22,
'unit' => 'px',
'number' => 10,
'format' => 'flat',
'separator' => " ",
'orderby' => 'count',
'order' => 'DESC',
'show_count' => 1,
'echo' => false
);
$tag_string = wp_generate_tag_cloud( $tags, $args );
return $tag_string;
}
// Add a shortcode so that we can use it in widgets, posts, and pages
add_shortcode( 'cxc_popular_tags', 'cxc_tag_cloud' );
// Enable shortcode execution in text widget
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );
?>This code simply generates the top 10 tags from your website in a cloud with number of posts in each tag. After that it creates a shortcode cxc_popular_tags and enables shortcode in text widget.
You can now add shortcode [cxc_popular_tags] in any post, page, or widget to display your most popular tags.
