The main reason for stopping the development is because the current feature set has been troublesome to maintain. As you’ve witnessed there’s a lot of features that needs to work together, and every change requires lots and lots of testing to make sure that everything still works.

This means that the effort to add new features is just too big for me to be able to continue working on it. My current focus is on other things than WordPress and I don’t feel that I have the time required to continue working on it.

That said, I’m happy to release new versions if someone wants to continue fixing bugs or adding features. The plugin is available on github and I’m happy to accept pull requests as long as they’re adequately tested.

Hope this brings some clarity into the decision to not continue working on this project.

I’ve reverted the change which broke selection strategies now, see if that resolves the issue.

I’ve also decided to not continue working on the plugin, so there shouldn’t be any new features breaking things for you in the future.

Just released version 2.7.2 which reverts the changes that broke selection strategies.

What version of WordPress and PHP are you using?

The plugin is tested for PHP version 5.2 – 5.5 and WordPress 3.2 – 3.9

Thanks, will look into it for the next release

Yes you could try it with days_old => 1.

To change the background color, use background: #c10077 instead of color

Just looked closer at this now, you should be able to translate the strings passed to _n() here:

$title = _n($term_title_singular, $term_title_plural, $term->count);

However domain is missing so I will add that there instead of your suggested solution.

I’ve been able to figure out what the issue is now. The problem is with the setting for max number of terms to display and that the WPML integration kind of assumes that every term will be translated.

This is basically what the plugin does:

1. Get the 45 most popular terms from the database
2. Check which of those 45 are translated
3. Display the result

If none of the 45 most used terms are translated into the current language, the result will be an empty cloud.

To fix this issue directly, just set the max number of tags to something really high, or set it to zero for unlimited.

I will fix this in the next version of UTCW. Thank you for your help with debugging this issue. You can remove my user account now.

Yes, that should do it. Default post_type is post

Not really, that looks like the right way to do it. You could pass debug => true to get a HTML comment with lots of debugging information. You should see which SQL query is being executed and also which taxonomies are allowed.

There’s been some issues with WPML in the past but I’ve never been able to figure out what the cause is, since it has been working in my installation

I would be glad to take a look in your installation, please send credentials to rickard (a) 0x539.se

Thanks

That sounds strange, could you please make sure that the selection strategy is set to popularity?

Otherwise, please enable debugging and send me a link to your site and I’ll have a closer look.

I see, didn’t know that such shortcodes even existed.

I would suggest that you add another CSS file to overwrite the plugin and themes CSS. Or use a plugin for that. Changing the code of my plugin is not a good idea since any changes would be lost when upgrading.

The CSS rule should look something like this:

ul.sidebar-tabs li a, .warea ul.sidebar-tabs li a {
   color: #c10077;
}

If that doesn’t work, try adding !important after the color:

color: #c10077 !important;
