(SOLVED) Tags in sidebar not showing up as a cloud

[dustofempires]

Hi there,

I have a paid account and am using custom CSS codes ( from here). Thing is, I've got loads of tags (which you can't see when you're not on my f-list, though). I do want them in my sidebar but obviously didn't want to show them as a list, so I selected "cloud" in my sidebar options. Now they do show up one after the other, but not in actual

It's because the default CSS for links has been set to a font size of 8px:

a, a:link, a:visited {
color: #629DB3;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 8px;
}
Remove that bit and you'll have the cloud tag size effect. Do note that with a cloud style chosen, you now have the .tagcloud container to play with.

There's a cheat way of limiting the number of tags the tagbox will show by using the max-height property with #sidebar_tags, but I don't think there's a way to show the most popular tags in Flexible Squares without using a theme layer. I did find this tutorial that you could use.

Thank you so much! =) Just did the first bit for now and it works great!

(Typo of my own there, haha!)

Oh, a small additional question. All of a sudden there's default LJ userheads showing on top of my custom ones in front of usernames.. Do you think this could have something to do with the font-size thing? Or is it just LJ being weird?

No, LJ changed things around again. This person appears to have had the same problem as you, and there's a solution in the comments.
