Overview

Creates lists of non-hierarchical taxonomies (such as post tags) as an alternative to term (tag) clouds. Multiple widgets can be used, each with its own set of options.

Works, thanks
by janelwashere·4 years ago

Works fine with version 5.8.2
Widget appears as expected, just had to remember to search for TAXONOMY widget not TAG widget.

Didn’t work

I too am using GP Theme and just wanted to show tags in sidebar. Installed plugin and nothing happened. Various configuration of the widget also did nothing and didn’t even appear in the sidebar.
Could just be out of date and no longer work, not sure!

works great
by zinkab·5 years ago

I am using the widget to display tags in a sidebar, and don’t want to show all tags. This widget can exclude/include tags.
Tested on mobile, looks and works fine (GP theme)

Thank you for the plugin.

Good plugin that works. Issues with Mobile Friendliness though
by waleedkrashid·5 years ago

I used this plugin to concert the Tag cloud into Listing and it worked without issue. Happy with the functionality.

However, it seems that this plugin also makes many pages ‘mobile unfriendly’ on google console.

Can author check this issue please?

Thanks!
