Title: WP Tag Cloud Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # WP Tag Cloud * Resolved [meyithi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meyithi/) * (@meyithi) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/) * I’ve looked over the documentation for the tag cloud, but I can’t see any way to make the tag cloud display the most recent tags. I hit the default 45 limit however tags from new posts don’t seem to be showing up in the cloud. * Is there a way to keep the tag cloud up-to-date or am I best using a third party solution, thanks. * [http://www.meyithi.com/tags/](http://www.meyithi.com/tags/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Thread Starter [meyithi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meyithi/) * (@meyithi) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682129) * Further research indicates that there is no such function unless I increase the size of my cloud, which is a shame 🙁 * [anotherperson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherperson/) * (@anotherperson) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682420) * I’m having exactly the same problem. After reading this post, I checked my blog and, sure enough, I had exactly 45 tags displayed. Is there a fix for this? I’ve checked other posts and can’t find an answer that works. * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682421) * [@meyithi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meyithi/) * Try using `term_id` for the ‘orderby’ parameter, with `DESC` for ‘order’: * `` * That will display all recently used tags.

One other question – what file contains the location for the code you provided? * Thanks! * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682423) * Usually it’s the sidebar (sidebar.php) template for a theme. But it depends on the theme. * [anotherperson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherperson/) * (@anotherperson) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682424) * Aha, that’s why I can find it – I’m using the 3 column Cutline theme and it doesn’t appear in either of my sidebar files. Any other ideas? * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682425) * The Cutline themes as I know them do not sport a tag cloud. Is this a modified version of the theme, or a (very) recently updated one? * [anotherperson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherperson/) * (@anotherperson) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682431) * Hi Kafkaequi, * I use the older (1.1) three column version of the Cutline theme and it does have a tag cloud (which works – up to the forty-five tag limit). I can’t seem to locate the code that pertains to it though. There is also a widget for the tag cloud in the control panel but, again, I can’t see any code to edit or locate the file that contains the code. Hope that helps. * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682433) * So it’s a widget? Would have helped to know this first. Basically, widgets override anything in the sidebar(s). You would not find it in the template itself. * The default tag cloud widget unfortunately has no options beyond title, which means it uses wp_tag_cloud() with the default parameter values intact. You could modify this through the widget’s source (found in widgets.php under wp-includes/), but you may be better off with a third-party plugin that provides a far more configurable tag cloud: * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configurable-tag-cloud-widget/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configurable-tag-cloud-widget/) * [anotherperson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherperson/) * (@anotherperson) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682451) * Thanks, the Configurable Tag Cloud Widget works like a charm. * [dailyyeah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dailyyeah/) * (@dailyyeah) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682510) * Even if i use the descending function, the only tags that show up are my old ones! :'( How do i fix this. * [dtwilliamson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dtwilliamson/) * (@dtwilliamson) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682588) * For the default widgets, edit wp-includes/widgets.php using information found at: * [wp_tag_cloud](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_tag_cloud) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘WP Tag Cloud’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 12 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [dtwilliamson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dtwilliamson/) * Last activity: [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud/#post-682588) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
