Version 0.3 now available!
This plugin is a variant on the Tag Dropdown Widget. Rather than display post tags in the tag cloud, the Tag List Widget will present tags in a list.
Version 0.3 of the Tag List Widget includes:
- Ability to display tags in a simple list with various options for deliminating that list, including bulleted and numbered lists, line breaks, and custom deliminators;
- Ability to specify label shown above tag list;
- Ability to trim long tag names to fit within sidebar;
- Ability to display post counts;
- Ability to exclude specific tags;
- Compatibility with earlier versions of WordPress.
The function powering the Tag List Widget can also be called using the <?php if(function_exists(TLW_direct()) ) {TLW_direct("x")} ?> command for use outside of the sidebar or in a theme that does not utilize a widgetized sidebar. See the readme for more information
Compatibility
Tag List Widget v0.3 is compatible with WordPress 2.3 and higher.

Great plugin! Exactly what I was looking for. One question: If I enter the function in my wordpress page.php file, wont the tag list be generated in all wordpress pages?
That isnt something I would like. Is there any way I can generate the list only in the pages I want it?
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
The easiest way to accomplish what you've asked is to create a new template for those pages where you would like to display the tag list. To do this, create a duplicate of the page.php file in your theme, give it a unique name, and add the following code to the top of the new file, replacing [a unique name] with something meaningful to you:
<?php
/*
Template name: [a unique name]
*/
?>
Once you've created this new template, you can add the TLW_direct() function to your new template file. Then, go to the Pages section of your WordPress admin and, for the pages you would like to display the tag list on, change the template from \”Default Template\” to whatever you named your new template file.
I hope this helps,
Erick
I'd like to see the tags that are not used in any post, as I am trying to do some cleanup of unused tags. Can you let me know what line of code to change and how, so that tags with zero posts related show up in the list? Thanks so much
Change line 48 to the following:
$tags = get_tags( 'hide_empty=false' );
This will display all tags, both with and without posts. There is presently no way within WordPress to only display tags not associated with any posts without directly querying the database.
Just what I was looking for. Works great. Thank you.
Hi there,
I love this widget, but I need to use multiple instances of it on the same site. I'm not too great w/ php and was wondering how or if this is possible? Thanks!!
Megan,
Unfortunately, at this time, only one instance is possible per site. The plugin was written originally to be compatible with very early versions of WordPress that did not easily support reusing widgets within sidebars and sites. As a result, only one set of options is available to every instance of the widget.
Version 2 of this plugin will represent a major overhaul that will break backwards compatibility to take advantage of WordPress' new methods for creating widgets and storing their options. Among other things, this update will allow multiple instances of the widget within a given sidebar or site.
