What It Does

This plugin creates lists of non-hierarchical taxonomies, such as post tags, as an alternative to term clouds. Users can utilize multiple widgets, each with its own configuration options.

It offers numerous formatting features, including the ability to set maximum term numbers, order terms, and truncate term names. The list styles are fully customizable, with built-in support for both bulleted and numbered lists.

Additionally, the taxonomy_list_widget function allows users to generate lists for use outside of the included widget.

Note that this plugin should only be used with version 1.2 or higher alongside WordPress 4.2 and later releases, as changes in WordPress 4.2 affect how taxonomy information is stored in the database, impacting the plugin's functionality.

This plugin was previously known as the Tag List Widget and has been completely rewritten for version 1.0.
