Style the Tag Cloud

Snippets by IsItWP

Do you want to define style details like font size and format of the tag cloud? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to style the tag cloud in WordPress.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

add_filter('widget_tag_cloud_args','style_tags');
function style_tags($args) {
$args = array(
     'largest'    => '10',
     'smallest'   => '10',
     'format'     => 'list',
     );
return $args;
}

Note: If this is your first time adding code snippets in WordPress, then please refer to our guide on how to properly add code snippets in WordPress, so you don’t accidentally break your site.
