Biggest opportunity: “tag cloud” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 15.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| cumulus your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| wp cumulus your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Can u add the option to change the font?

Здорово что подняли этот плагин, не пришлось копаться в архивах. Установил, работает отлично, хотя только в виджете, классический можно было вставить в виде кода на любую страницу. Плюс ко всему типичный баг в плане организации подачи,- нигде не написано как его запустить после установки, так что приходится искать признаки плагина по всему меню WordPress.

very good work. Will it be possible to add an option to remove the link to the tags?

Плагин просто отличный, спасибо. Однако сегодня столкнулся с проблемой. Каждый год, в преддверии Нового Года и Рождества, я на своем сайте активирую плагин Christmas greetings, этот год не стал исключением. Так вот при активации этого плагина плагин HTML5 Cumulus начинает криво работать – облако меток появляется не на боковой панели а по центру страницы и оно просто огромное 🙁 Нельзя ли что нибудь с этим сделать?

The old cool cumulous cloud working on htlm5. Very nice. Brings me good memories back.

I installed it even though the plugin page said it was not tested with my version of WordPress, and it works flawlessly. Works with Woocommerce product tags and custom taxonomies, too. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you!

Мне плагин понравился. Простая и понятная установка. Посмотрим как будет работать.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ beytser6.8y ago
Спасибо, плагин очень понравился, однако есть предложение по улучшению: хотелось бы иметь возможность или указать перечень id необходимых меток/рубрик или перечень тех, которых нужно скрыть.
