1.
If you want to hide the tabs on top, use “show_tabs=0”:
[tag_groups_cloud smallest=12 largest=12 show_tabs=0 separator="•"]
“hide_empty” only hides a tab, if there are no tags in that tab.
2.
The order is set by “orderby= …”. I tried orderby="random" but it doesn’t seem to work. According to that page https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/classes/wp_term_query/__construct/#parameters the parameter orderby does not accept the value “random”. So, it’s not easily possible.
The only possibility would be to output the tags into an array and then sort that in your PHP code. For a hint how to get the array, see the bottom on the settings page, under the “Tag Cloud” tab, under “PHP”.
1. It is doesn’t work show_tabs=0– http://nimb.ws/wGQzMA
2. I tried random early… ok, thanks
Your screenshot shows, that show_tabs=0 works. The tabs are gone. You marked them before with “Hide?”. Now they’re hidden.
Update: The core developers decided against the option to retrieve tags in random order: https://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/41350#comment:11 So, not much we can do at the moment.
Update 2: I decided to implement my own random function, since it’s not supported in the core. So, if all goes well, the next version will support orderby="random"! 🙂
