Always show same size tags for Tag Cloud in WordPress Admin

3 Views

I wanted to know if there was a way to modify the back-end of WordPress to do 2 things:

  • Make all tags’ font the same size, so none are larger than the others
  • Always show the most used tags when creating/editing a post

This only applies to the back-end of WordPress, not calling the tag cloud or any sort of front-end CSS that would be found in the theme.

  1. use this at functions.php

        /* Tagcloud, change the font size */
function custom_tag_cloud_widget($args) {
    $args['largest'] = 13; //largest tag
    $args['smallest'] = 13; //smallest tag
    $args['unit'] = 'px'; //tag font unit
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'widget_tag_cloud_args', 'custom_tag_cloud_widget' );

  2. I think I have a simpler solution:

    Install the plugin Add Admin CSS

    Go to Settings and put this code: 

    p#tagcloud-post_tag.the-tagcloud a {
  font-size: 1em!important; 
}

    I put 1em but feel free to put whatever value you prefer.

  3. With wp_tag_cloud you can set the smallest and largest argument to the same value:

    $args = array(
    'smallest'                  => 8, 
    'largest'                   => 8,
);
echo wp_tag_cloud($args);

    Unfortunately, that would require hacking the Core. Also, unfortunately, I don’t see a filter that will allow you to alter those argument directly, so you are going to have to do this a bit brute-force-y.

    add_action(
  'load-edit-tags.php',
  function () {
    add_filter(
      'wp_generate_tag_cloud',
      function ($return) {
        $pat = '|font-size: [0-9]+([^;]+)|';
        return preg_replace($pat,'8$1',$return);
      },
      1,2
    );
  }
);

    Hooking to load-edit-tags.php should cause this to operate only on the wp-admin/edit-tags.php page on the backend, which is what I assume you want.
