Theme integration / Shortcode You can integrate the widget within your own theme even if you’re not using standard WordPress widgets. Just install and load the plugin as described and use the function

<?php do_utcw($args); ?>

…with $args being a array of key => value pairs for the options you would like to set. For example if you’d like to change the title of the widget:

<?php $args = array( "title" => "Most awesome title ever" );

do_utcw( $args );

To use multiple configuration options just separate them with a comma:

<?php $args = array( "title" => "Most awesome title ever", "max" => 10 );

do_utcw( $args );

If you’re not able to change your theme you can also use the shortcode [utcw] anywhere in your posts or pages. You can pass any of the settings along with the shortcode in the format of key="value", for instance if you’d like to change the widget title:

[utcw title="Most awesome title ever"]

The plugin also uses a couple of filters for you to be able to alter the output. These are documented in the filters documentation at GitHub.

As of version 2.6 you can create custom selection strategies, more information can be found in the strategy documentation at GitHub

Configuration All the configuration options can be found in the configuration documentation at GitHub.

Breaking changes in version 2.0

Tags lists with named tags will not work in version 2.0, only tags lists with IDs.

The configuration option for text case has been renamed from case to text_transform

The styles for links aren’t marked as !important in the CSS longer, this might change the cloud presentation in some cases

The shortcode and theme integration function call no longer accepts the widget arguments before_widget, after_widget, before_title and after_title
