Parameters
$tags
WP_Term[]required- Array of WP_Term objects to generate the tag cloud for.
$args
string|arrayoptional- Array or string of arguments for generating a tag cloud.
smallest
intSmallest font size used to display tags. Paired with the value of$unit
, to determine CSS text size unit. Default 8 (pt).largest
intLargest font size used to display tags. Paired with the value of$unit
, to determine CSS text size unit. Default 22 (pt).unit
stringCSS text size unit to use with the$smallest
and$largest
values. Accepts any valid CSS text size unit. Default'pt'
.number
intThe number of tags to return. Accepts any positive integer or zero to return all.
Default 0.format
stringFormat to display the tag cloud in. Accepts'flat'
(tags separated with spaces),'list'
(tags displayed in an unordered list), or'array'
(returns an array).
Default'flat'
.separator
stringHTML or text to separate the tags. Default "n" (newline).orderby
stringValue to order tags by. Accepts'name'
or'count'
.
Default'name'
. The 'tag_cloud_sort' filter can also affect how tags are sorted.order
stringHow to order the tags. Accepts'ASC'
(ascending),'DESC'
(descending), or'RAND'
(random). Default'ASC'
.filter
int|boolWhether to enable filtering of the final output via 'wp_generate_tag_cloud'. Default 1.topic_count_text
arrayNooped plural text from _n_noop() to supply to tag counts. Default null.topic_count_text_callback
callableCallback used to generate nooped plural text for tag counts based on the count. Default null.topic_count_scale_callback
callableCallback used to determine the tag count scaling value. Default default_topic_count_scale() .show_count
bool|intWhether to display the tag counts. Default 0. Accepts 0, 1, or their bool equivalents.
Default:
