Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

First of all, THANKS for this excellent theme. It is obvious that a tremendous amount of work went into its programming and its design. Flynn, you are to be heartily congratulated and I WILL be donating to support theme development when I can.

The only thing I wish to change so far, is the font size for the tag cloud. I'd like to reduce the font considerably so it isn't as dominating an item in my sidebar.

Any advice on how to go about this would be much appreciated. TIA!

The font sizes are hard coded into the widget and cannot be changed with CSS. I'd recommend that you install this small widget http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/

Then remove the default tag widget from the sidebar and put one instance of this new PHP Code Widget into a sidebar at Site Admin -> Appearance -> Widgets

Into the text area of the widget put
PHP Code:
<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=14'); ?>
You can add more parameters by adding &property=value

Defaults:

&smallest=8 (Font size for least used tags)
&largest=22 (Font size for most used tags)
&unit=pt (Font size unit: pt, px, em, %)
&number=45 (Show the XX most used tags. 0 = show all)
&format=flat (flat = side by side with one space between. list = <li>...</li> list)
&orderby=name (name = alphabetically. count = by amount of posts tagged with this tag)
&order=ASC (ASC, DESC, RAND)

Last edited by Flynn; Mar 1, 2009 at 11:06 AM. Reason: Added more formatting to make this clearer, also replaced "most popular" with "most used tags"

Thanks Flynn, that worked great.

I've never done any PHP coding so if I understand you correctly: should I want to make the tags in random order, would this be the correct code:

<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=14&order=RAND'); ?>

Exactly, you can add or remove properties, and if you leave it empty like this
PHP Code:
<?php wp_tag_cloud(); ?>
it will use all the default values

Educating. But I would like to change the font from bold to normal. Where do I do that?

Thanks for the tip! I achieved pleasant results by using
PHP Code:
<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=6&largest=16&number=45&format=list'); ?>
in conjunction with CSS insert
PHP Code:
div#execphp-3 ul li{ 
displayinline;
border-left2px solid #FFFFFE;

By the way, I would love to associate this CSS with the CSS class "wp-tag-cloud" rather than with the id "execphp-3" but couldn't figure it out.
