Note: This shortcode is also available as Gutenberg block. You can configure the block without using any code or parameters. Read more about the block options.
If you don’t know what is a shortcode and how to use it, you first may want to read this article.

- string: A text. For identifiers that won’t be visible to visitors you often have to replace spaces with _ or -. If the string contains spaces, you need to wrap it in quotes.
- integer: A number without decimal places.
- 0 or 1: 0 turns the feature off and 1 on.
If you are using Gutenberg, most of the parameters below will also be available in the corresponding block. You can always convert a block to a shortcode while preserving your settings.

Since WordPress doesn’t natively offer natural sort order, we have to first order them by name and then by natural sort order. If you limit the number of tags with amount, the amount of tags is therefore determined by cutting off with “name” sorting and then sorting them with “natural”.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
string | name | orderby=natural |
Whether to sort the tags in ascending or descending order. Ascending order also means from oldest to newest.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
string | ASC | order=desc |
Maximum amount of tags. This is the total number for the case when all filters are off (“show all”). Buttons and text search reduce this number.
Note: High numbers of tags will affect performance.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
integer | 0 (unlimited) | amount=30 |
Whether to hide or show tags that are not assigned to any post.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
0 or 1 | 1 (hide empty) | hide_empty=1 |
Set a minimum count of published posts that use a tag for this tag to appear. Posts are counted across all groups. Please also pay attention to the value of hide_empty.
Default | Possible Values | Example |
0 | integer | threshold=2 |
Prepend to each tag label. Can obtain the placeholder {count} that will be replaced with the post count for that tag. Please note that {count} is the total number – not per selected group.

When you use the premium plugin, additional query parameters in the links make sure that we can distinguish between the same tag that is used in different groups. If the resulting posts are not complete and troubleshooting doesn’t help, you can disable it here.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
0 or 1 | 0 (no filter) | add_premium_filter=1 |
Display only tags that are assigned to the post (or page) with a specified ID. If the value is set to 0, the plugin will try to retrieve the current post ID. Turn it off with -1.
accepted values | default | example shortcode |
---|---|---|
integer | -1 (all tags displayed) | tags_post_id=0 |
Tag groups that will be considered in the tag cloud. In the shortcode you use the IDs, which you find in the left column in the list of groups. Empty or not used means that all tag groups will be used.
