Presenting Version 1.3 of my Wordpress Category Cloud widget. This one is compatible with Wordpress 2.1 (use Category Cloud Widget Version 1.2 for earlier versions of Wordpress). As before, the credit goes to sw-guide.de for the original Category Tagging plugin on which this is based; and also Alex for getting a version of this running under 2.1.
NB: Unlike Alex’s version, this widget is self contained and does not require the Category Tagging plug-in.
SteamSHIFT out.

First, do you have a changelog for this version? I’d love to know what changes are going on between successive versions.
Secondly, I’m having issue when tags wrap between line in the widget. Instead of being left-justified, the wrapped tags “sticks out” (sorry, it’s late and I can’t find a better description). Check my blog out to see what I mean.

Sorry, no changelog. 1.3 is just a compatability fix for WP 2.1.
This is a CSS problem I think, to do with text-indent. another way of fixing it might be to use the no-wrap css attribute to force multiple word tags not to wrap.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers.

How can I put this as a Cloud instead of a list?
June 9th, 2007 at 6:21 am
you need to add some CSS into your style.css file (wp-content/themes/[the theme you are using]/style.css).
here is what I used:
#sidebar ul .tagcloud {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#sidebar ul .tagcloud li {
display: inline;
list-style: none;
background-image: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#sidebar ul .tagcloud li a {
background-image: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

Hi SirLouen
I just briefly had a look at your blog, you are using the following:
#sidebar ul .tagcloud {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#sidebar ul .tagcloud li {
display: inline;
list-style: none;
background-image: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#sidebar ul .tagcloud li a {
background-image: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
but you don’t have an element with id=’sidebar’, so the CSS isn’t working; try this:
#category-cloud ul .tagcloud {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#category-cloud ul .tagcloud li {
display: inline;
list-style: none;
background-image: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#category-cloud ul .tagcloud li a {
background-image: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

Thanks a lot

I finally upgraded to WP 2.2. After my panic attack subsided (when I noticed my category cloud was suddenly deflated), I quickly snagged your latest version and all was well.
Handy little plugin, thanks!
