Removing the “Popular Terms” area from the Taxonomy Edit Screen in the Admin Area

1. Oh, I love it when you give me an easy one. Starts to make up for all those harder ones… (well, partly. 😉

   So what you want is to replace this:

   With this:

   
   _{(source: mikeschinkel.com)}

   How? Use the 'wp_tag_cloud' hook which you can put into your theme’s functions.php file or in a .php file of a plugin you might be writing. For this one I tested the global variable $pagenow to make sure it was on the term edit page. In the hook just strip out the style attribute from each of the <a> elements:

   add_action('wp_tag_cloud','modify_taxonomy_tag_cloud',10,2);
   function modify_taxonomy_tag_cloud($html,$args) {
     global $pagenow;
     if ('edit-tags.php'==$pagenow) // Only for the tag edit page
       $html = preg_replace("#style='[^']+'#Us",'',$html);
     return $html;
   }

2. Just to offer up an alternative using a CSS override which will actually have the same effect as Mike’s solution.

   add_action( 'admin_print_styles-edit-tags.php', 'normalize_tag_cloud' );
   function normalize_tag_cloud() {
       ?>  
       <style type="text/css">.tagcloud a { font-size:inherit!important }</style>
       <?php
   }
   

   I don’t think either way is better, simply wanted to share a way to approach the problem differently.. 😉
