How to display the tag cloud in list format

  • I really don’t like the “jumble of words” type tag cloud. Is it possible to display the tags one underneath the other in list format?

    Also is it possible to have the tags that are assigned to the most read posts be at the top while tags that are assigned to less popular posts stay at the bottom?

  • Try using <?php wp_tag_cloud('format=list&orderby=count'); ?>

    After that, it’s down the CSS styling.

    Thanks a lot esmi it worked! Any idea how the tags assigned to the most popular posts can be shown at the top and those assigned to less popular posts shown towards the bottom? Or is that plugin territory…

    <?php wp_tag_cloud( 'format=list&orderby=count&order=DESC' ); ?>

    The built-in tag cloud list does not have the ability to order based on the popularity of the posts, but it can be ordered by the popularity of the tag (as my example shows).

    Thanks mrmist for letting me know, guess I should look for a plugin that can do that.
