Categorized Tag Cloud

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’m missing something in setting up the widget. I want to use a sidebar widget to present top tagged posts from a category slugged “media” I placed that slug in the category filter. The result was what appears to be a cloud of top tags from the site overall. I’ve tried excluding those tags, but even that does not work. Could it be that “filter” removes the identified slug from the tag cloud?

   Perfect plugin. I was searching for a plugin to allow me to exclude certain tags without having to alter WP Core at wp-includes/widgets.php I found a number of very popular plugins (based on download) but they have not been updated to 4.1, or updated within the last year. One popular plugin even states that future development has ceased. I tested this lkugin and it lets me exclude and style tag buttons perfectly. Simple and sweet. Thanks.
