Ultimate Category Cloud 2.0
Version 2 is ready to roll, and compatible with your Wordpress 2.1 blog!
This is a modified version of the Weighted Category Cloud by Matt Kingston. I wanted it to be able to colour each category differently, in a similar way to how the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin coloured tags in its cloud. After Studying the UTW code, and playing around with the Category Cloud code I was able to achieve the desired result.
Installation
Note: If you are using this plugin with the Redoable theme, all you need to do is upload it to your plugins directory and activate it.
- Download the zip file and extract the contents.
- Upload ultimate_category_cloud.php to your plugins directory.
- Activate the plugin from within your admin area.
- Add this code to any page one which you want to display the Ultimate Category Cloud.
<?php
$weighted = 0; // set to ‘1’ to turn font size weighting on.
$colored = 1; // set to ‘0’ to turn font color weighting off.
$minfont = 70;
$maxfont = 250;
$fontunit = “%”;
$lightcol = “#FFFFFF”;
$darkcol = “#666666”;
$category_ids_to_exclude = “1”; // list of any categories you want to exclude from the cloud, seperated by ’ , ‘.
weighted_categories($weighted, $colored, $minfont, $maxfont, $fontunit, $lightcol, $darkcol, $category_ids_to_exclude);
?> - Make adjustments to the variables to suit. If you are using this plugin with the Redoable Theme, the defaults are the recommended values.
- Enjoy.

I really really love your leave a comment / like this post !. Is this available for download as well?
nice plugin here mate. Very useful
Thank you post
My catagory section only displays “No Categories” even after I installed the UCC on your Redoable Theme. I have spent hours trying to figure out what the problem is and still nothing, any help would be appreciated.
As Always - Thanks.
Hi Jake, make sure your are using the latest version of UCC, Version 3 should work with the version of Wordpress that you are using. You can grab the latest version if you go to my homepage, sorry I really should have updated this page when I released the new version.
Hi Dean,
Do you have any idea why the Ultimate Category Cloud 2.0 doens’t work with WP2.2.1?
Please ignore (even delete) that last comment… I’d been looking at the example to the right but now I see I can set $weighted = 1
This plugin rocks :-)
Hi there - great plugin but is there a way to make it vary the size as well as the colour/opacity. I’m torn between my current Category Tagging plugin (which does the size - http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/category-tagging-plugin/) and this one (which does the colour/opacity).
the links are not showing up in the loop. also, the permalinks are looksing for a recent-links folder…… don’t have one.

Sorry børge, I must have missed your comment.
I know that there are a couple of plugins that will display your links from other sites such as delicious, magnoila etc, but they don’t exactly solve your problem.
Its an interesting idea and I will look into what might be involved to get it working with redo-recent-links.

Thanks Richard, I’ll keep in mind when I’m working on it.
Ehm, so.. Are you going to answer my question sometime..?
I noticed that the rechuked buttons work on the write blog post screen but do not work on the edit post screen.
Just in case that helps to isolate the issues with rechuked.
