By default, the WordPress tag cloud widget has a set amount of 45 tags to display. This can be seen in the wp-includes/category-template.php
file.
By default, the WooCommerce plugin which I have installed, and it's products tag cloud widget also resembles this.
How do I modify this amount from within my wp-content/themes/functions.php
file, to display for example, only 15 product tags?
Here is what I have so far, but it is not working.
function custom_tag_cloud_widget($args) {
$args['smallest'] = 8; //smallest tag
$args['largest'] = 22; //largest tag
$args['number'] = 15; //adding a 0 will display all tags
$args['unit'] = 'pt'; //tag font unit
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'widget_tag_cloud_args', 'custom_tag_cloud_widget' );
When changing the number within the core wp-includes.php/category-template.php
file to 15 however, it does work.
Obviously, I don't wish to edit any core files and am looking for an alternative solution.
Thanks.
add_filter( 'widget_tag_cloud_args', 'custom_tag_cloud_widget', 9999 );
