Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Clouddy

In Settings → Clouddy set the minimum and maximum text size and the unit (rem/em/px). Each tag's size is interpolated between those values based on the tag's popularity.

Yes. The default stylesheet only sets custom properties on the container; every value can be overridden with regular CSS, and the default stylesheet can be dequeued entirely.

Three ways, all rendering the same cloud from the global settings (Settings → Clouddy): Block — add the "Clouddy — Tag Cloud" block in the block editor. Shortcode — [clouddy] (accepts attributes, see below). Widget — the "Clouddy — Tag Cloud" classic widget (themes with widget areas).

Every attribute is optional and overrides the global setting for that single cloud, e.g. [clouddy mode="hybrid" number="40" order="name_asc"]: mode — which tags to include: popular, rare, random, hybrid. Default popular. number — total number of tags (integer, min 1). Default 30. order — display order: count_desc, count_asc, name_asc, name_desc, random, length_center, count_center, rare_center. Default count_desc. The *_center orders place the top-ranked tags in the middle (lens effect). rare_count — hybrid mode only: how many of the total are the rarest (integer, capped at number). Default 5. taxonomy — source taxonomy. Default post_tag. exclude — comma-separated term IDs to skip, e.g. exclude="12,34". min_size / max_size — smallest / largest text size (numbers). Defaults 0.8 / 2.0. unit — size unit: rem, em, px, pt. Default rem. color_a / color_b — hex colors of the rarest / most popular tags. Defaults #888888 / #222222. show_count — append the post count to each tag (true / false). Default false. aria_label — accessibility label for the cloud container. Default Tag cloud. ttl_minutes — cache lifetime in minutes. Default 720 (12 h).

Clouddy caches the set of tags it queries (using the WordPress Transients API) so the database

set is kept before it is rebuilt from the database — default 720 minutes (12 hours). It is only a safety net: the cache is also refreshed automatically whenever content changes (a post is saved or deleted, or tags are added, edited or removed). You rarely need to change it; lower it only if you want a tighter upper bound on how stale the cloud can be.

The order is computed in PHP when the page is rendered — Clouddy uses no JavaScript. If you use a full-page caching plugin or a CDN (for example LiteSpeed Cache, WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, or a host/CDN cache), the generated HTML — including that one random order — is stored and served to visitors, so the order only changes when that page cache is regenerated. This is expected for any server-rendered random content. To reshuffle on every view despite caching you would need client-side randomization (JavaScript), which Clouddy intentionally avoids. Either exclude that page from full-page caching, or accept that the order refreshes when the cache does.
